Big Rapids Public Schools is adopting a more efficient and environmentally responsible approach to sharing information from outside organizations. Instead of sending printed flyers home with students, BRPS will now post approved materials from approved community partners on our new Virtual Backpack webpage.

This change is expected to reduce paper use, save staff time, and make it easier for families to access community information year-round.

School-related announcements, classroom updates, and student assignments will still be sent home in student backpacks. Families should continue to check backpacks regularly for important school communications.

To share your organization's flyer, please visit https://www.brps.org/page/flyers.

To find flyers, click on the 'Virtual Backpack' button beneath the photo gallery on the BRPS homepage at www.brps.org.
