Bogota Middle School Update
February 7, 2025
Essentials
We hope you had a safe and pleasant week. snow weather is expected in the near future. Please be sure to check your texts and emails for weather-related updates, including school closings and delays. These messages will also be posted on the Bogota BOE website.
Additionally, we would like to remind parents about proper drop-off procedures to ensure the safety of all students. Drop-off in front of the building should only occur on the side closest to the entrance door. Students should not be crossing the street in areas without a designated crosswalk, as this poses a safety risk—especially during busy mornings.
When dropping off your child, please pull up to the yellow line to allow for a smoother flow of traffic and to prevent congestion. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated in keeping our students safe and ensuring an efficient drop-off process.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call or email us.
Thank you, and have a wonderful weekend!
