BCPS Weekly E-newsletter

The award-winning BCPS weekly e-newsletter, shared on Monday mornings, reaches nearly 35,000 subscribers including parents, staff, and community members. Because it has such a broad audience, staff attempt in every issue to share timely news and useful information and to celebrate accomplishments of the school system and individual schools.

Every issue includes a message from the superintendent, a parenting tip, and a piece of artwork and/or writing by a BCPS student or teacher.
