Our school resource officer was able to provide us quick information that the incident would not impact any of our school dimissals. We did cancel outdoor practices out of an abundance of caution. Thank you.

BESD Families,
Due to the inclement weather, BESD53 schools will be closed with a Snow Day on Friday, February 18th. Our District E-Learning Plan only allows for one consecutive day of E-Learning, so tomorrow will be a Snow Day. Thank you!

For safety precautions, BESD53 will utilize an E-Learning day on Thursday, February 17th. With the continued threat and timing of the winter storm warning, all schools will be closed tomorrow but students will continue their learning at home in accordance with our District E-Learning Plan. Again, BESD53 will utilize an E-Learning day tomorrow, February 17th. Thank you!
