​

As we get closer to this date (June 22nd), we will send out reminders with the above timing and logistics but parents may certainly ask any questions you have. And of course, all of our planning, preparation and logistics have to remain responsive to any pandemic-related impacts. If any change to our program is required we will communicate this as soon as is possible.

​

We hope you can join us for this event!

 

Sincerely,

Mike Klugman - BCMS Principal
