Good evening. Our mass notification vendor is currently experiencing delays in sending out the phone calls, text messages, and emails for the two-hour delay. Their support team is currently working on it with no ETA for a resolution. This may result in these notifications going out at unusual times when the issue is fixed. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Good evening! Due to extreme cold temperatures and wind chills in the morning, BCPS will operate on a 2-HOUR DELAY tomorrow (Monday, December 15, 2025) for all students and staff. This is a reminder that breakfast is not served on days with a delayed opening. We hope everyone stays safe and warm!

Take a look at what's happening at BCHS and BMS this week. Come out and support our Knights this week. Please note that Tuesday & Wednesday are now regular school days.
