Dear BBM Families,

As we wrap up our summer camp season and prepare for the 2026–2027 academic year, we have several important dates, staffing updates, and back-to-school reminders to share. Please read through the updates below carefully!

Early Closure Notice: This Friday, August 14

• Closing Early: School will close early at 3:30 PM this Friday due to anticipated heavy traffic from the Woodward Dream Cruise. Full Day students need to be picked up by 3:30 PM so everyone can travel safely and avoid congestion!

End of Summer & Academic Year Schedule

• August 17 – 21: Final Week of Summer Camp!
• August 24 – 28: School CLOSED for our annual Teacher In-Service Week as we prepare classrooms and curriculum for the Fall.
• Monday, August 31: First Day of the Academic Year! We can’t wait to see everyone back.

Staffing Updates

We have a few updates to share regarding our teaching team:

• Welcome Back: We are thrilled to welcome back Ms. Claudia and Ms. Eunice as they return from their summer break!
• Fond Farewells: We will miss Ms. Barbara and Ms. Alyssa as they return to their public school roles for the upcoming school year. We thank them so much for their time with us this summer!

Preschool Uniform Swap & Guidelines

We are hosting a Uniform Swap for our Pre-Primary families!

• Donations Needed: We haven’t received many donations yet, so if you have gently used uniforms your child has outgrown, please drop them off in the office!
• Shopping the Swap: Once we gather enough donations, we will put the items on display for families to browse and pick up what they need for free.
• Pre-Primary Uniform Requirements: Uniforms are required for Pre-Primary students only (Yellow Room). The required dress code is a light blue top and dark blue bottoms (see attached example photo). Uniforms are not required for Toddlers (Red, Blue and Orange Rooms)

New Parent Orientation (New Families Only)

• Date & Time: Tuesday, August 25, 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM
• Format: Drop-in event for adults only (no children, please).
• If you cannot make it this night, you must schedule a private orientation prior to the beginning of school.

This event is for our new families to:

• Ensure all required paperwork is submitted.
• Meet your child’s teacher and ask any last-minute questions.
• Drop off essential supplies (extra clothes, required medication with forms, etc.).

Required Paperwork (you can not start care without these two items)

1. Health Appraisal: If you haven’t turned in your Health appraisal, please contact your pediatrician to complete the following form and have it ready prior to Orientation (new families) or the First Day (current families). Health Appraisal Form PDF Immunizations: Please note that pediatricians will usually attach your child’s official immunization records as a separate sheet. Both must be turned in prior to starting class.
2. Emergency Card: For new families, if you haven’t turned in the Emergency Card, please complete it and bring it with you to your Orientation. Emergency Card. Returning families will need to initial existing Emergency Cards after a review that everything is still accurate.
