Today students needed anywhere between 30 and 45 minutes to get items out of their lockers, visit their seven classrooms and teachers (if needed). This was a bit longer if the students needed to finish an exam, etc.
They can arrive anytime during their designated time, but suggest they get to BK 30 minutes before their session ends. They should not plan to “hang around” school and visit with friends. Social distancing continues to be one of the most important things we can do to stop the spread of the virus - both here at BK and during their spring break.
