Happening at BOES
Starting with the 2024-2025 school year, parents are expected to report their student's absence online for EACH day that their child is absent. Doctor's notes may also be uploaded on this form, and a reason for the absence must also be reported. Please contact the main office at (804) 780-4879 with any questions that you may have.
Mark your calendars for the BOES Trunk or Treat event on October 29 from 5-7 PM. More information will be sent home soon, but we hope to see you there!
