Welcome to BFA! I hope you had a restful and fun summer and are ready to embark on the new school year. A new school year brings about so many emotions, some being excitement and nervousness. The teachers, staff, and administration are here to support you and to ensure that your high school experience is welcoming and engaging.
Here at BFA, we are committed to providing a well-rounded education that equips students with skills needed in a rapidly changing world. Our dedicated faculty and staff have been working diligently to ensure this year is filled with engaging experiences and a supportive learning environment. As Principal, I believe in high expectations with support in place so that we can all meet the expectations that lay before us. It is our goal to make sure those expectations are clearly communicated. We will spend the first days of school clearly going over some of the expectations in this letter as well as others in order to create a safe and engaging learning environment.
BFA communicates information in a multitude of ways, such as the BFA Webpage, www.maplerun.org/o/bfa, where you can find Daily Announcements, Student/Parent Handbook, Events, News, Administrative Newsletter/Blog, as well as a link to our BFA Facebook page. You've received an email from the BFA Information Technology Department with your Powerschool Login information as well as necessary forms that you will need to complete, such as Health Forms, Free and Reduced Lunch Forms, Student Verification Information, etc. If you need paper copies of these forms, we will be happy to send them to you, so please let us know if needed.
Please contact us if you have any questions. I look forward to seeing you!
Sincerely,
Polly Rico
