Student Schedules for 2020-2021 were emailed to parents on August 6. Since the registration process was complete in February, class change requests are discouraged, and in most cases due to staffing changes, are not possible. Staffing was determined based on original registration numbers.  Here are a few items to think about when deciding if you are going to come in for a schedule change:

1. Schedule adjustments will not be made to accommodate requests for teachers, lunch times, or free mods.
2. Schedule adjustments will not be made after the assigned schedule change date, except for situations caused by computer input error, an elective needed for the ND State Scholarship, a missing core class, or a lack of the appropriate pre-requisite
3. In a few situations, there are some overlapping classes. Your student will need to discuss and work out an arrangement with both of the overlapping teachers when the school year begins. This is one of the advantages of the flexible schedule.

Masks are required. Cloth masks are recommended. Masks should be washed daily. Here is the CDC guidance on washing masks: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/how-to-wash-cloth-face-coverings.html. BPS recommends all students in grades K-12 have a backpack with a padded compartment or a padded Neoprene sleeve (14 inch) to carry their Chromebook/laptop back and forth to school this year, if needed. We also suggest that students have their own earbuds or headphones that include the built-in microphone.

The Bismarck School Board will meet at 5:15 pm at the City-County Building at 221 N. 5th Street. The public is invited to attend the meeting or watch it LIVE on cable channel 2.

We are sorry for any confusion relating to the Bismarck Public School Band Camp but the district has decided to cancel the upcoming band camp scheduled for August 10th through the 20th.   With limited time to put all necessary safety procedures and protocols in place as stated in the recently approved re-entry plan students will instead begin learning to play their instrument at their middle school when the school year begins.  Thank you for your patience and understanding in this process.  Please contact Dr. Shawn Oban at 701-323-4201 with any questions.

Mark your calendars for Fill the Bus on Thursday, Aug. 20, 6 am-6 pm, at the Red Carpet Car Washes by Century High School or on Washington Street & Expressway. Drop off new school supplies or monetary donations to buy supplies for kids in need! If you bring us supplies, Red Carpet Car Wash will give you 9.3 cents off per gallon for your fill-up that day! You can also donate ONLINE by clicking here and scrollinig down to choose Fill the Bus: https://www.bpsfoundation.com/donate/

For each schools lists, go to the school's homepage, click the Resources tab, then School Supply List.

Parents who are in need of school supplies for their children should contact their children’s schools in mid-August with the grade levels of each child and when they can pick up the materials, which will typically be on the first day of school.

We are asking for donations of diapers, wipes, tampons, and feminine pads. These donations will help serve children 0-18 that receive support from the BPS Students in Transition program, BECEP, South Central High School, all BPS social workers working with families in need, Healthy Families of Lutheran Social Services of North Dakota, and the Adopt-A-Block program.

We have seen an evident need to help people in our community with basic items such as diapers, wipes, and feminine hygiene products. This underlying need in our community is now exacerbated due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting rising unemployment. WIC and SNAP benefits help with food, but do not help with these items or other personal hygiene items for children and families in our community. A group of organizations along with faith leaders are working with families and have come together with the goal of meeting the current above-mentioned needs and building relationships between churches and organizations to continue and increase the scope of support into the future.

Our first goal is to collect and build resources so the above organizations can distribute to families in need. Donations can be dropped off at:

Century Baptist Church (205 Colt Dr.) Monday & Thursday 11:00 am-1:00 pm.

Evangel Church (3225 N 14th St.) Wednesday 12:00-1:00 pm.

J&R Vacuum (223 E Main Ave) Monday-Friday 9:00 am-6:00 pm. Drop off at loading dock and call 258-5619 at time of delivery.

To have donations picked up, call Becky Matthews at 701-220-5271. To learn more about the Needs Nook, contact her at rebecca239@bis.midco.net or 701-220-5271.
