Transportation and Teacher Information

BPS will share bus information and teacher placements via Infinite Campus on Aug. 13. Access from our school website by clicking on “BPS Login” at the top. If you need help, reach out to Principal Cline directly. Our robust classroom roster process doesn’t allow for teacher requests.

Assessment Conferences

Bring your child(ren) to OGE on Thursday, Aug. 27 or Friday, Aug. 28 for a 30-minute reading conference with their teacher. Assessments allow teachers, parents and students to meet and provide teachers with information to start the school year. While your child is with their teacher, parents can drop off supplies and go to the gym for school information. Principal Cline will send a signup link once teacher info goes live on Aug. 13.
