August 6 Head of School Weekly Update

by Les Rainey on August 06, 2026

Dear Bronco Family,

The beginning of the school year is fast approaching, and we are excited to welcome you back to campus. In just a few days, the campus will be buzzing with excitement and activity as over 950 ELA and BACS students return to 4800 West Main Street!

This week, our teachers returned for in-service training and preparation for what's certain to be a great school year. In an effort to make the start of the school year run as smoothly as possible, please note the following items:

Back-to-School Guide - This is packed with information regarding Open House, JH/HS Orientation, supply lists, bell schedules, and much more.

Traffic Pattern Maps - Please have an extra dose of patience and drive with caution, as our Broncos will be moving around campus throughout the day. Just as with the beginning of any school year, traffic is certain to move a little slower those first few days. However, as everyone begins to learn the traffic patterns, we are confident that things will begin to operate more efficiently each day. We have a great traffic plan, but it only works when everyone follows it.

Bay Area Church - If you or someone you know is looking for a church home, we would love to invite you to join us for Sunday morning services at 8:30, 10:00, or 11:30.

I hope your family has experienced a wonderful summer break that has left your household recharged for a fantastic school year ahead. We look forward to seeing you on campus next week!

It’s a great day to be a Bronco!
