As we conduct safety drills across the district, we encourage parents to review the 'School Emergency Response' flyer with their children. It's important to familiarize students with key terms, review communication procedures, and ensure your contact information is up-to-date in Skyward Family Access.
For more details, visit www.brps.org/communication.
We're experiencing an issue with our phone service provider, preventing calls from reaching some of our buildings this morning. We anticipate phone service will be restored by 11:00 a.m. In the meantime, if you need to contact any of our schools, please email the building offices. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.

We are thrilled to introduce our new district-wide safety signage at BRPS!
These signs will enhance emergency response times, ensuring the safety of our students and staff. Each sign features a removable nameplate, providing a flexible and long-lasting solution for classroom or teacher changes. The signs will also help with wayfinding throughout our buildings for students, staff, or guests.
This project was funded by a safety grant, which also supports the installation of exterior signs across all campuses to deter unauthorized personnel from approaching school buildings. These measures are part of our ongoing commitment to creating safe learning environments for everyone at BRPS.
Check out these new safety signs at open houses next week!
Grab a copy of the Pioneer Press this Saturday (August 17) and you'll find the 𝐁𝐑𝐏𝐒 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐭- loaded with upcoming fall events and other helpful resources.
All events can also be found on our website or our app.
