Communication

Engaging families and the community as vital partners in the education process is one of BPS101’s important Strategic Goals. To be successful partners in achievement, two-way communication is imperative. At BPS101, we actively utilize social media and send out monthly email newsletters to keep you informed about important topics and events across the District. We welcome feedback and invite you to attend public Board Meetings to also help you stay informed.

Social Media

The District and schools have official Twitter and/or Facebook accounts to help you connect in the moment about school news and events. We encourage you to follow the BPS social media channels listed below and review our Social Media Commenting Guidelines.

Backpack Mail

Backpack Mail is a paperless means of distributing flyers that your student would normally bring home in their backpacks. Parents of students in kindergarten through high school will automatically receive Backpack Mail via the twice-monthly District E-News brief. (Click on the “Backpack Mail” link.)

District E-News

Each month during the school year, BPS101 sends out District E-News, which is an electronic newsletter designed to brief you on BPS101 events, news, and student/staff/alumni achievements. Each newsletter also includes a link to Backpack Mail. For community members who don’t have students in the District, but would like to receive District E-News, sign up at BPS101.net. (Scroll down to the bottom right of the page to see the “Newsletter Sign Up” field.)
