Dear BGR-1 Families and Staff,
In the interest of maintaining transparent communication, I am reaching out to share an incident that occurred at our BG campus this morning. We experienced an false fire alarm due to someone accidentally engaging a pull station, and I want to reassure you that our vigilant staff responded exactly how we practice. They promptly evacuated our students from the buildings, following protocol, until authorities confirmed it was safe.
We have already identified the source of this alarm and are taking the necessary steps to rectify the situation. The safety of our students remains our top priority, and we will continue to work diligently to ensure their wellbeing.
On a brighter note, we have some exciting events ahead. Our football team will be competing in their final regular game and we are hostingmany schools at our cross country meet today, and our softball team is set to take on South Harrison in the Quarter Finals tomorrow. Let's rally behind our teams and show our Bobcat pride!
Thank you for your continued support, and remember, it's always a great day to be a Bobcat!
Sincerely,
Matt Frederickson, PhD
Superintendent
