- If submitted during the course of the school year, processing of Alternate Stop/Daycare forms typically takes 1-2 days.

Demographic Forms
Each year we ask families to review and update their child's demographic information. This ensures that the school has the correct contact information for both day-to-day and emergency communications. Additionally, NYS requires the District to provide all families with information about certain regulations and topics annually. Please click the link below to log in to ParentVue. When prompted, please click on the icon labeled "2025-26 Demographic Update" and follow the instructions to review and make any changes to your child's information and to view the annual notices. This process must be completed for each child attending BCSD schools by August 29, 2025.
School Dismissal Manager
Important for 2025-26 Make sure you have the most current version of the SDM app installed on your phone.
Absences, late arrival, early dismissal, and changes to your child’s daily dismissal are managed via School Dismissal Manager (SDM). SDM is a web-based program that allows parents to schedule and update at the click of a button on a mobile device or computer. SDM replaces notes, emails and phone calls to the Front Office.
Absences and late arrivals must be entered before the school day starts. Dismissal changes must be entered into SDM before 1:45 pm (10:30 am on early dismissal days). Dismissal changes will NOT be accepted via phone, note or email. Parents Guide To School Dismissal Manager (SDM).
