Student Support at BBCS

Bridge Boston has a clearly defined history of honoring and uplifting students with the greatest need. When our community alerts us, we are not afraid to face big problems head-on. The ethos of Bridge Boston is to respond by removing barriers, supporting our community, and to never back down when our community expresses a need. Bridge Boston knows that listening to our community is how we determine and meet the greatest needs around us. When our community asks for something, we listen.

Adult Support

To our Student Support Team, “full service” means looking at all angles of who supports and impacts our students. It’s not just addressing our students' needs, but also the needs of people who are supporting the child. We want our families to succeed, not just our students.

  • Parent Council: We have an active Parent Council that serves to advocate for the students and the school, raise funds to support school activities, and promote parent engagement here at Bridge Boston.

  • Helping Students Thrive with Proper School Apparel: We’re grateful to partner with WholesaleSchoolwear.com and WholesaleSweats.com to ensure our students have access to comfortable, appropriate apparel for the school year. With their donation of polar fleece zip up jackets, we’re helping children feel warm, confident, and ready to learn.
