*** Important Notice ***
Each year we ask families to review and update their child's demographic information. This ensures that the school has the correct contact information for both day-to-day and emergency communications. Additionally, NYS requires the District to provide all families with information about certain regulations and topics annually.
Please click the ParentVUE Link to log in to ParentVue. When prompted, please click on the icon labeled "2025-26 Demographic Update" and follow the instructions to review and make any changes to your child's information and to view the annual notices. This process must be completed for each child attending BCSD schools by August 29, 2025.
School Breakfast & Lunch Program
In New York State, all students will be eligible for a free breakfast and a free lunch each day starting this school year. Please be advised that there will still be a charge for second helpings and all snacks. Therefore, it is recommended that you continue to fund your child's MySchoolBucks account or send in money if you want your child to be able to purchase snacks. Students will not be able to purchase a second helping or snack if no money is available on their accounts.
My School Bucks: Parents can manage their children's school lunch accounts online or by telephone in 3 Easy Steps, click here: My School Bucks

Families are encouraged to complete the Application for Free and Reduced Lunch for the 2025-26 school year in order to be eligible for other assistance programs. A new application must be completed at the start of each school year. Please click here for the letter to all families, the application for Free and Reduced Lunch, and the monthly day to day menus for breakfast and lunch.
School Dismissal Manager
Absences, late arrival, early dismissal, and changes to your child's daily dismissal are managed by School Dismissal Manager (SDM). SDM is a web-based program that allows parents to schedule and update at the click of a button on a mobile device or computer. SDM replaces notes, emails and phone calls to the main office. Absences and late arrivals must be entered before the school day starts. Dismissal changes must be entered into SDM by 1:00pm (10:00am on early dismissal days). Dismissal changes will NOT be accepted by phone, note or email.
