Dear Bainbridge-Guilford Community Members and Alumni,

 

Over the past week many of you have reached out to members of our Board of Education to voice outrage, pain, and concern over a grotesquely racist video that appeared on social media. As a District, we continually strive towards the creation of an inclusive learning environment that embraces diversity, and therefore have absolutely no tolerance for any form of racist, bigoted, discriminatory, or hateful speech and actions from any members of the Bainbridge-Guilford School community. 

As the investigation into this painful situation continues, we wanted to express our strong commitment as the Board of Education to listening to the voices and needs of the members of the BG community. We will continue to engage in these conversations as we move forward, in hopes that we can not only help our community to heal, but also to stand in solidarity with all of our students as we focus on creating an environment of respect that they all deserve. 

 

Sincerely,

 

Keith Hanvey, Board of Education President

Gordon Daniels, Board of Education Vice-President

Shelly Bartow, Board of Education Member

John L. Gliha, Board of Education Member

Jeanne Shields, Board of Education Member

Timothy Suda, Board of Education Member

Student / Athletes needing a sports physical prior to their season need to have their medical provider complete the NYS SCHOOL HEALTH EXAMINATION FORM found below and on the  Athletics page.  Please complete and submit to the school at least three work days before the season starts.  This can be dropped off at the Jr.-Sr. High School Main Office or faxed to the Nurse's Office at 607-967-6345.

The After School Program (ASP) is a program that is sponsored by the Bainbridge-Guilford Central School District.  It is a safe and supervised time for students after the school day has ended.  The program will be held in the Greenlawn library, cafeteria, classrooms, and playground.   The After School Program is open to BG students who are enrolled in grades Prek-6 for the 2021-2022 school year. 

The program will allow students supervised time for school work and enrichment, recreation and a snack will be provided. 

The program will run school days from 2:45 p.m. until 5:30 p.m.  We will only have staffing for the program until 5:30 p.m.  There WILL be childcare offered on early dismissal half days for conferences.   There will NOT be childcare on early release days due to weather or emergency closing days. 

When you arrive to pick up your child you MUST sign him/her out.  If there is someone else picking up your child you MUST call the director to notify.   The enclosed form allows for families to list two other individuals that might be picking up their child.  

The Afterschool Program can be reached directly at (607) 967-6309 between 2:45 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.  Please come in the front door of the school when picking up your child.

However, all students must be pre-registered for the program.  Students DO NOT have to attend every day of the week, and DO NOT have to stay for the entire time.  

All students are expected to follow the BG code of conduct and the rules that are in place.  Parents will be contacted about serious behavioral problems.  If the problems continue, your child will be removed from the program.  As always, violence is NOT tolerated.

If a child becomes ill, the staff will determine the urgency.  If your child is uncomfortable, the staff will contact the parent.  If a child gets injured while at the program, the parent will be informed of what happened and how the injury was treated.  There will also be an accident form that needs to be filled out by staff and the parents.  In the case of a serious injury, parents will be called for instructions.  Life threatening situations will warrant a 911 call.  Please see the director if medication needs to be given during the afterschool program.

If you have any questions or concerns with the program please don’t hesitate to call and let us know.  Thank you for all of your support.  We will have a wonderful year!

Please send completed forms to Stephanie Brown, ASP Director, at the Greenlawn Elementary School.
