The tour season is winding down. Applications for the upper school are once again strong. Kindergarten applications are similar to last year (a bit light), so these next 3 weeks are key for re-connecting with folks we know who are making their decisions.
Key dates:
Friday, 3/11 Admissions Notification date
3/11-3/18 "Quiet Week"
Friday, 3/18 Enrollment contract and non-refundable deposits are due
BPC is not alone in experiencing another challenging admissions season, as EBISA schools compete for far fewer students (enrollment at East Bay public schools continues to increase dramatically each year). Tehiyah started their own Bridge-K program as a feeder mechanism. BPC continues to host events like this past Saturday's Tree Frog Treks and other public events to raise BPC's profile in the community.
BPC's Phone-a-thon was a huge success, with about 100 calls made. There are still 50 prospective families who have applied and have not received a friendly check-in call. Contact Faye if you feel moved to make these calls (from home at your convenience).
