Software and Systems
BG has adopted software tools for digital communications and interactions. Below are the key systems.
Application and Enrollment
STS Admissions & Enrollment application has 3 steps: Apply, Enroll, and Agree to the tuition contract. The agreement shows full tuition before scholarships and financial aid which the vast majority of student receive so it is not the amount you will end up paying.

Financial Aid and Tuition/Fee Payments
STS Financial application is used to (1) apply for financial aid (2) accept financial aid (3) set up a payment plan. You set timing for scheduled payments. Registration is not complete until a payment plan is set up. Use the same STS login account information from the application step.
ParentSquare
ParentSquare is the key communications method between the school and parents. You can get messages on your mobile phone through the ParentSquare app. If you have multiple children you can receive messages from different buildings all in the same app. It also would be used for emergency alerts.

PowerSchool
Powerschool is BG’s official Student Information Service (“SIS). It maintains the offical roster, class schedule, grades, and more. You can monitor your student’s grades here.
Cafeteria Account
MySchoolAccount is the account to deposit funds for your child’s cafeteria account. They use a code to pay for their meals out of this balance. The price of a “full meal” is very cost effective so please talk to your child about selecting a “full meal” (ask cafeteria staff if they are unsure) to keep your costs down.

Canvas
Canvas is BG’s learning management system (LMS). It is used in grades 6-12 to access assignments, lessons, and other content posted by the teacher. Students also submit their work. This is a popular system used by universities, helping students be ready for higher learning.
FinalForms
FinalForms is BG’s is used by the Junior and Senior High Schools to roster athletics teams, manage permission slips, and more.
