LATE LEARNERSALL learners (Grade 1 – Grade 7), who arrive late in the mornings. MUST report to recep-tion first, for a late note. Learners will not be allowed into the classroom without this note. Please do NOT walk your child up to their classroom and interrupt the educator.

When teaching-time commences, the educator will not stop his/her lesson to speak to you. These are BPS school rules, and we would appreciate your co-opera-tion in this matter.

FORGOTTEN ITEMSIf a child has forgotten any item at home, they are to suffer the consequences. The staff have been instructed NOT to accept any item during school hours. The reason for this is that it interrupts the front office staff, the educators and the learners.
