BPS Community,

 

As part of our district safety protocols, BPS works closely with a multitude of law enforcement agencies. A major part of this partnership includes sharing information with one another regarding local, state and national occurrences to better prepare for potential issues. Notice bulletins such as the one attached below, serve as a powerful tool in our fight to ensure a safe and orderly school environment. I want to be clear THIS IS A NOTICE OF FALSE THREATS AND NOT A REAL THREAT WARNING.

 

The image below was received this afternoon from the Michigan State Police (MSP) 'Office of School Safety' department. As you will read in the message, there are false messages of threats being circulated through different social media sites relating to potential school violence. Please speak with your students "as appropriate" to ensure that if they come across this type of posting, they do not re-post or share it out on their feed/page. The state police and our local Monroe County Sheriff's Office have been very clear that individuals who perpetuate or incite fear through creating or re-posting threatening content could face significant legal consequences. In addition, students could also face school discipline for causing a disturbance. Our goal should be to help students understand that if they read dangerous posts, they should immediately share it with an adult at home or in their school. 

 

As superintendent, I will continue to share this type of information with our school community to help prevent avoidable situations. An environment where families and staff feel safe is a much more productive place to learn. Thank you all for your partnership in keeping Bedford the best district in our state.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Dr. Carl Shultz

Superintendent

New signs being installedNEW SIGNAGE AROUND THE DISTRICT

You may notice some new signs being installed around our district. These new signs are meant to reinforce to district visitors that our grounds and facilities are closed to the general public when school is in session. This is not a new policy (9150 - SCHOOL VISITORS), however, we are stepping up our enforcement of these rules to help ensure the safety of students and staff. Anyone that has school related business during published school hours, is welcome to enter through each building's main entrance and check in as a visitor.

This same School Visitor Policy also addresses animals on our school grounds: “Except as set forth in District policy, canines brought on the premises by law enforcement personnel for law enforcement purposes, or in the case of "service animals" required for use by a person with a disability, no other animals may be on school premises at any time.”

ABOUT BEDFORD PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Bedford Public School District is proud to offer a high quality education to the residents of Bedford Township, Michigan!

OUR MISSION: All learners will be prepared for lifelong success through:

  • High quality instruction
  • Diverse experiences
  • A supportive environment
  • Strong community engagement.

OUR VISION: Educating for Life!  

Bedford Public Schools continues a tradition of educational excellence that starts with early childhood education in our award winning Great Start Readiness Preschool (GSRP) program. Our three elementary schools: Douglas Road Elementary, Jackman Road Elementary, and Monroe Road Elementary, provide an excellent foundation for students to grow from Young Fives to Grade 5. Bedford Junior High School offers a softer transition from the elementary atmosphere with a school-within-a-school for 6th graders before moving to more independent learning and students switching classes for grades 7 and 8 in preparation for high school. The many academic options available at Bedford High School, along with our Bedford Virtual Academy, means every student can thrive with classes based on their interests or potential choice of college studies or career path. Our Career & Technical Education (CTE) courses teaches real world, hands-on skills in 13 different career pathways. A wide variety of courses, a strong visual and performing arts program, competitive athletics, and extracurricular opportunities all contribute to a well-rounded education for our graduates. Many graduates leave with college credits and/or industry recognized certifications. Lifelong learning continues beyond high school and graduation with our Adult Education programs and other enrichment options in our outstanding Community Education program. 

Bedford Public Schools has an enrollment of over 4,000 students that routinely exceed state averages in assessments such as the M-STEP, MME and SAT thanks to the efforts of our dedicated staff, the hard work of our students, and the support of parents and our community. We are proud to be the Kicking Mules!
