B-PC parents and guardians: 

B-PC Schools will begin sending automated attendance calls to guardians via the Skylert system if our attendance records show a student with an unexcused absence. This means families will be alerted more quickly if their student is not in attendance. Please continue to call your absent student(s) into the office as you normally do before the school day begins so you do not receive an unnecessary call. 

We ask for your patience as we work to get this new automation running optimally. The first calls are scheduled to begin in the coming week. Check your phone number in Skyward Family Access to ensure that calls will reach you.
