This is just a friendly reminder that all visitors (including parents, staff guest/family members, etc.) who enter our building must sign in at all times. This is to ensure the safety of our students/staff and knowing who is in the building in case of an emergency. We greatly appreciate your continued support in this matter!
 
Enrollment for the upcoming 2024-2025 school year is still open. ​
Bridgewater Academy Charter School will not be requiring clear backpacks for the upcoming 2024-2025 school year.

Our school day begins at 7:30 A.M. Students may enter the building no earlier than 7:30 A.M. Students
are not to be dropped off before 7:30 A.M., as there will be no supervision for them in the building.
Breakfast is available for all students in the cafeteria from 7:30-8:05. All students wanting breakfast
should report to the cafeteria upon arriving at school. All students are expected to be in their homeroom class by 8:10 AM. Any students arriving in their homeroom class after 8:15 AM will be considered tardy. All tardy students must be signed in by a parent/guardian at the front office.
Daily dismissal for students will begin at 3:00 PM on a regular basis (at 11:30 AM on Early Dismissal
days).  Please have your child's green car tag visible in the front dash of the vehicle. For safety reasons, we ask all parents to please remain in their vehicles and drive slowly through our traffic circle so that the staff can carefully bring the students to the vehicle.
