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!

Please join us tomorrow, December 13th, for Cookies with Santa in the BCHS Cafeteria from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. See the flyer for more information.

Good morning! BCPS will OPEN ON TIME today (Friday, December 12, 2025). We hope everyone has a great day!

Good evening! BCPS is carefully monitoring the forecast for Friday, December 12, 2025. Due to the uncertainty of tomorrow's potential weather event, BCPS is not making any decision regarding a possible delay or school closure until after 5 AM tomorrow morning, Friday, December 12th. This will give our team an opportunity to make a decision based on the latest forecast and assess current road conditions. Thank you for your understanding and your continued support. Have a great evening!
