Solheim School Supply List 2023-2024

Please read through steps 1-3 before starting. Registration opens February 1st through February 28th. 
Registration is open throughout the school year but parents are strongly encouraged to register their K-5th grade students as soon as possible to help ensure placement in their neighborhood school. The sooner a student is registered, the higher the probability of them attending their boundary school. Due to capacity limitations, those who wait too long may be placed in a different school and required to wait until the following year to be enrolled in their boundary school.  

The registration process should take approximately 20-30 minutes per student for a new registration. It is recommended to collect the following information prior to beginning the online registration process so you can easily upload it to the applicable locations. You can also choose the option to present documents in person, by email, mail it in or fax it.you can also choose the option to present documents in person, by email, mail or fax.

Safety in our schools is always important to us!  Please know that BPS has a safety plan that is practiced, reviewed and updated often.  We practice safety procedures with students and staff.  We require ALL visitors, parents and guardians that are visitors during the school day, to sign in at the office as you enter.  We ask that visitors sign out upon leaving as well, as this will help us know who is in the building. 
When a student comes past 8:35 in the morning, they must stop at the office and get a tardy slip in order to head to class so they are not counted absent.  When picking up a student early, please stop at the office, sign them out and we will call the student down to meet you in the office. 

Thank you for your assistance with the safety of all our children!
