HS CAMPUS SAFETY

Pleasantville Road and the BHS/BMS campus access road are very busy during arrival and dismissal times. Please help keep everyone safe by watching the stop lights and following the directions of the campus monitors as they direct traffic at the crosswalk and in the parking lot. Be mindful that students cross the street on Pleasantville Road as well as exit cars in the lower parking lot. Safety is everyone's concern; please be alert, drive slowly on campus, and be prepared to stop.
