Each principal received an embroidered lunch cooler featuring the BR logo — a small token of appreciation for the big impact they make every single day.
Thank you to our principals for leading with dedication, heart, and a commitment to helping every student thrive. We’re so grateful for all that you do! 🙌

Dear BR Families,
At Big Rapids Public Schools, your feedback matters! Please take a few minutes to complete our annual family survey — your input helps us strengthen our schools and better serve every student.
🕐 The survey takes about 5–10 minutes to complete.
📋 Topics include school climate, communication, curriculum, district needs, and your child’s experience.
🔗 Take the survey here: https://surveys.panoramaed.com/brpsmi/8609221981/surveys
📣 To help us better understand each student’s experience, we ask that you complete one survey per child.
This allows us to gather feedback that reflects the unique experiences at each school and across grade levels.
The survey will remain open until October 20.
💻 Computers will also be available at each school during Parent/Teacher Conferences for your convenience.
Thank you for your time, your partnership, and your continued support of Big Rapids Public Schools!

Every year, 5th grade teacher Hailey Clifford brings "My Teacher Is an Alien" to life for her students. She reads the book aloud and builds suspense with each chapter. On the very last day of reading the book, she surprises her class by inviting an alien to greet the class! It’s a moment her students never forget and a tradition that makes reading magical.
