Dear BKW Families,
In light of the extreme heat forecasted for Monday, June 23rd, and Tuesday, June 24th, 2025, we have made the thoughtful decision to implement an early dismissal for our elementary students (Pre-K through 6th grade) at 11:30 AM on both days. Our primary concern is the health and well-being of our students and staff during these unusually high temperatures.
Breakfast will be served as usual each morning, and students will also be offered a bagged lunch prior to dismissal.
Please note that Elementary Field Day, originally scheduled for Tuesday, June 24th, will now take place on Wednesday, June 25th. We are pleased to share that ice cream, generously provided by the PTA, will still be available on that day as part of the celebration.
For secondary students, there are no Regents examinations scheduled for Monday, June 23rd. However, exams scheduled for Tuesday, June 24th will proceed as planned. All testing locations will be monitored to ensure student comfort. Those students taking morning exams on Tuesday may take the 11:30 bus home. An afternoon bus will be available for students participating in those exams and will depart the school at 3:45 PM.
Thank you for your continued partnership, understanding, and support as we navigate these changes with our students’ best interests at heart.
Warm regards,
Mrs. Kane
