Half Year Insurance

The half year insurance fee is now available in Infinite Campus. Half year insurance is being offered to current students who did not opt into insurance in Fall 2024. However, the school will need to inspect the iPad first to make sure it is in working condition before offering the insurance. Spring 2025 Insurance: $12.50.


We are thrilled to rollout the improved educator nomination process for the Celebration of Excellence (formerly Tribute to Teachers).

The nomination form will go live on January 13th, and nominations must be submitted by February 5th.


Hello from the BRE Student Council Committee!

Our mission is to make positive impacts in our communities. We’re collecting pop tabs to donate to Ronald McDonald House Charities, a cause of immense value. This project teaches kids about philanthropy and recycling while raising funds for this powerful cause. Ronald McDonald House Charities provides families with temporary housing while their children are hospitalized at no cost to the families.
