Summer Camp Offerings for 2026




Bondurant-Farrar’s summer camp sessions are back for 2026! Open to Bluejay students, each camp is led by a BFCSD educator and designed to spark creativity and imagination.

Registration is tentatively scheduled to open at 10:00 AM on Wednesday, April 1 and will be completed through Bound this year. If anything changes, buildings will share updates directly with families.

Sessions are organized by next year's grade level (listed next to each title). For example, a camp labeled grades 5-8 is for students entering grades 5-8 next school year. Camps are $85 per session, with financial assistance available.

Check out session offerings and the camp schedule today to start making your summer plans for 2026!

Booster Club Apparel Store


Our athletics booster club has launched a new online apparel store. This is a 24/7 store with no "closing date" and we're told items typically ship in a week or so. Purchasing bluejay gear through the boosters directly supports Bondurant-Farrar students and programs.

Attendance

Please call the main office @ 515-967-3711 or email Megan Kula @ kulam@bfschools.org with any absences. Also please email your student's teacher about any concerns or absences as well.

Start and End Times

Most of our school days will begin at the same time each day, at 8:10 am. This means your child should be at school no later than 8:05 in order to be in their homeroom for the start of the Morning Meeting each day. Mondays, we will dismiss students by 1:50 pm, and on most Tuesdays-Fridays, dismissal will be at 3:20 (walkers and bussers together). Any unique circumstances (a late start, unique early dismissals that don't follow a typical Monday schedule, etc.) will be communicated when they happen. For example, a 2-hour late start (our most common late start) would typically mean we would start at 10:10.

Drop Off and Pick up

PARENTS/GUARDIANS DRIVING STUDENTS TO AND FROM SCHOOL

With the playground and recess area for our Intermediate school students on the west side of the building, the drive around the building will only be open during drop off and pick up times. For the middle part of the day, there will be gates that will block traffic flow and restrict vehicles to only the south/west area and the north area of the building (approximately from 8:45 am until 1:15 pm on Mondays, and 8:45 am until 2:45 pm Tuesday through Friday). This is for student safety and for allowing students and staff to have access to outdoor activities and facilities for recess and PE. Please note this when you are needing to pick up students from school at times other than pick up and drop off times.


Morning Drop-off:

  • Serving time for breakfast begins at 7:30 AM. Students eating breakfast will remain in the Cafeteria until dismissed by an adult to their Homeroom.

  • Students who are not eating breakfast, and are either walking or being dropped off by a parent, should not arrive before 7:50 AM.

  • Students who ride a bus to school will be dropped off at the east entrance. All other students either walking or being dropped off by a parent may use the north or south entrances.

  • All students arriving before 8:02 AM will report to either the Gymnasium, or the Cafeteria if they are eating breakfast. Students will be dismissed by an adult from either location to go to their Homeroom by 8:02 AM.

  • Parents/Guardians will have the option of using the driveway between Anderson and the Intermediate School (south side--if you are dropping off students in multiple buildings) or the parking area to the north of the Intermediate School (if you are only dropping off students at the Intermediate School) to drop off children at the beginning of the day.

  • For student safety and traffic flow, students will NOT use the west entrance for drop off.


Afternoon Pick-Up:

  • Students not riding a bus may exit from the north, east, and south doors of the building.

  • For student safety, students will NOT exit the west side of the building to the west parking lot.

  • Parents/Guardians will have the option of using the driveway between Anderson and the Intermediate School (south side) or the parking area to the north of the Intermediate building to pick up children at the end of the day.
