If students were already issued a chromebook during summer school, please bring it with you. 
  
  
• If you think you may qualify, please fill out the free and reduced lunch application. For those who do not qualify for free lunch, lunch will be available for a cost, and parents can place money on the student’s myschoolbucks.com account. Point of sale cash is not accepted. 

Welcome to BBCHS! We look forward to a great school year and years to come!
