Photo day is held in early fall, usually in September or October. ID cards and photo order forms are distributed a few weeks after that. Retake/Absentee photo day is held in winter.
If you've lost your ID card or would like to order school photos but misplaced the order form, see any staff member in the main office. High School students can also e-mail Sarah Morgan at smorgan@bayridgeprep.org and Lower/Middle School students can e-mail Nieci Thomas at nthomas@bayridgeprep.org.
If school is closed or delayed due to weather or a city-wide emergency, a note is posted on bayridgeprep.org and the school's social media pages. The information is also sent via text message and e-mail to the school community and WABC-TV/Ch. 7 carries the announcement on television. Weather-related notifications are sent out by 6 a.m. on the day in question.
Bay Ridge Prep will always close school if the NYC Dept. of Education closes public schools. On some occasions, Bay Ridge Prep will close school before the DOE comes to a decision or even if the DOE keeps public schools open. This usually occurs if it is determined that an impending weather event or another emergency will make conditions inside or near the school unsafe.
Bay Ridge Prep is an independent, private, co-ed, day school accredited by the New York State Association of Independent Schools and is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools. Serving students in Kindergarten thru Grade 12 from all across the New York City area, Bay Ridge Prep is located in Brooklyn and dedicated to enriching intellectual curiosity, creativity, and emotional intelligence through a student-centered community that values the unique talents and learning styles of each person.
