Bradford Central School District

Dear BCS Families,

We are excited to welcome everyone back tomorrow for the start of the 2025-26 school year. I know we are going to have another incredible year at BCS.

A few reminders for our families and students.

First, as you enter the main entrance please pay attention to new traffic patterns. Vehicles should no longer go directly left into the main parking lot. In order to enter the main parking lot from this entrance you should go around the circle. There have been several newly designated visitor parking spots created both in the parking area within the front circle and in the main parking lot. These spots are available both during the day and at the end of the school day when picking up your child.

Speaking of the end of the day student pickup, please know we are once again requiring parents/guardians to come to the cafeteria and sign their elementary aged child out in-person. We will no longer be sending students out to cars, as we are trying to create the most safe and secure student pickup procedure possible. Once again, there are well over 20 designated visitor parking spaces which can be used during this time of day.

Finally, tomorrow we will be reviewing with our students the new Distraction Free School Zone law. This law prohibits the use of personal devices such as cell phones, smartwatches, and airpods during the school day. Thank you in advance for helping us reinforce this new public school requirement.

As always thank you for your continued support of our district. If at any time you have questions or need assistance related to your child, please know we are here to help in any way needed. Go Bobcats!
