Weather procedures: What you need to know

As temperatures begin to drop, we want to make you aware of our weather procedures and how we will notify families if there is a change to the school schedule.  On Wednesday, Nov. 5, you should have received a test message at the phone number and email listed in your Skyward account. We will use this number/address to contact you in the event of a delay or closure. If you did not receive the message or would like us to use a different number, please log into Skyward to confirm or edit your information, or contact your child’s school for assistance.

Please see our weather guide (русский) (Español) and note whether your child attends a "north" or "south" school. Since weather can vary across our large district, schools are grouped into north and south areas. Sometimes one may start late or close while the other is open. Weather information is also available by downloading the BGPS mobile app, calling 360-885-5343, visiting our website or checking our Facebook page or Instagram account.

Read our annual report

The report to our community is in mailboxes. Take a look at the report for information about the budget, school and district academic performance, school building improvements, student and staff accomplishments and much more. You can also find the report on our website.
