BABCOCK RANCH, Fla. — The Babcock Neighborhood Schools will be closed for the next week and a half because of a "staffing shortage attributed to widespread sickness or requiring quarantine."

Dear BNS/BHS Families,

Due to a significant staffing shortage, attributed to widespread sickness or requiring quarantine; BNS/BHS will be closed from Monday 8/16/21 through Wednesday 8/25/21. Prior to school re-opening on 8/26/21 a deep cleaning will be conducted. The make-up days will be October 18-21 and March 14-17.
