Getting Ready to Start the 2024.25 School Year!

 JB Nelson Families,

We are getting close to starting the 2024.25 school year on Wednesday, August 14th. 

Today, starting at 9:00, all parents can log in to their Parent Portal in Powerschool and view their child’s teacher. As we are preparing for our year to begin, I wanted to share a couple important upcoming events with you.

The district purchased all school supplies and is delivering them directly to classrooms so there is no longer a need for parents to purchase supplies or to attend a “Supply Drop Off” at the school. However, we still want to welcome everyone back to school and let them meet their new teachers. 

BPS Strategic Plan Priority 2, Strategy 4-Family & Community Partnerships

 Over the summer our student bathrooms have been updated and all of our hallways have been repainted so we are excited to invite you into the building!
