BTW Families,
Monday, October 6, 2025, is a regular school day for all scholars in Montgomery Public Schools. We look forward to seeing 501 BTW Yellow Jackets, dressed in uniform with their school supplies, by no later than 7:40 A.M. I stand corrected from the last communique regarding arrivals and dismissals, as all scholars must be in seated in homeroom by 7:40 A.M. daily, and not 7:45 A.M. My sincerest apologies for the error.
We are here to serve and support our families!
Sincerely,
Dr. Ruffin
