In the beginning of January 2015, BPSD received their first 2-hour delay of the winter season. Following the hour and a half sleep in, signs were posted up on every glass door of the courtyard, stating the annual closing of the courtyard.

Like last year’s winter, everyone is sure that the courtyard will be closed for awhile now, even on the days of nice weather and no precipitation.

Because of this closing, the students of BPHS find themselves inconvenienced.

“The courtyard closing is a huge inconvenience to me because it’s harder to get to classes that are on the other side of the school,” sophomore Emily Kramer said.
