Families – We are looking forward to an amazing year, filled with new experiences that will make us smarter, stronger and more resilient.  It’s important that we maintain clear communication with our families. We have found that the best way to do that is through ParentSquare.  Some families might need to get used to using such an app, but once you do, it’ll change your school experience. So we have decided the best way to keep our families informed is that all school/home communication will be delivered through ParentSquare. Parents should download the ParentSquare app, available on ios and Android, and login/request access.

  • All students in grades 6 – 9 need to sign up to receive their BDS Chromebook. This is a specially outfitted device, specific to your BDS schoolwork. Here’s the link: https://www.parentsquare.com/feeds/4138973
  • Devices for students in grades 10-12 will be available soon. We will post when they are ready for pick-up.
  • All student virtual schedules have been posted to ParentSquare. These are group-specific, so your scholar’s virtual schedule will be visible to you and your child.  All of the zoom links are embedded in the schedule, so your scholar can just click to join the session.
  • Students should download StudentSquare and logon with their cell# and student ID.
  • If you have difficulty logging into Google Classroom or Clever, these posts might help:
  • School Orientation Night will be September 14 @ 6pm.  You can RSVP to receive the virtual link here: https://www.parentsquare.com/feeds/4138539
