Enable 2-Step Verification on your Google Account Fall is our favorite time of year but nobody likes it when they fall for a phishing scam! Protect yourself against phishing scams (and stop these terrible puns) by enabling 2-step verification today! The link below will take you to the instructions and we recommend downloading the Gmail app for iPhone or Android ahead of time. The Gmail app saves you time by turning the 2-step verification into a simple yes or no, instead of using text-message codes. 2-Step Verification Instructions All staff - Feb 1, 2023 Thank you for helping to protect the BPS!

Operations I wanted to take an opportunity to remind and update staff on the missing student protocol and procedure. Missing Student Protocol When a student has eloped or is missing and you are unsure of where the student is, this the procedure must immediately be followed:
If the student’s location cannot be confirmed once the all-call goes out, and there is a concern for the student’s safety and well-being, we must be prepared to initiate a soft-lockdown and we will assign staff to secure the exit doors in an effort to prevent the student from leaving the building and conduct a school-wide sweep and the exterior/outside of the school building with all avaiable staff including paras and/or teachers if there are two adults in the classroom. Meaning an adult in the classroom may be pulled to assist in the search. After a sweep, if the student is not located Mr. Chery or administration will immediately call 911 and Operation Leader, Monique Carter. Teacher will need to provide a clear description of the student including where the student was last seen. Include the following information in the description:
Family of the student at this point will also be notified and told to come to the school immediately. From there we will cooperate with law enforcement and first responders. |
