Designated Parent Sign Up

For the 2026-27 academic year, Designated Parent Duty Sign Up forms will be available starting March 14, 2026. Please click on the DP Sign Up button below to select your dates to serve as DP. Sign up for two Designated Parent (DP) days, one Student Center Assistant and one alternate day.

Our DPs help with set up, clean up and signing students in and out throughout the day. They are a friendly face to welcome students to BTM and an extra set of eyes as students transition between classes. Please come prepared to interact with students, but also know you will have a lot of downtime during the 5 periods of the day. Feel free to bring something to work on, read or listen to as you serve. 

Policies for students and Parents

All BTM parents and students are required to read and sign the Parent Student Agreement and submit it to the administrative team prior to the first day of classes. This document outlines some basic expectations for keeping the tutorial running smoothly and successfully. 
Parents also need to read and sign the Financial Agreement and the Liability Release form before the first day of classes. This explains your financial responsibility to BTM and the tutors.
Lastly, families must complete the Emergency Medical Information, and the Photo and Contact Release forms, as well as the Designated Parent Commitment.
These six documents are required before your student begins classes at BTM. They are available to download from the Administrative Forms page.

Designated parent Duty

Parents are required to volunteer several times a year as the Designated Parent. SignUpGenius is used to organize the schedule for this duty.

Snow/Inclement Weather Policy

Revised Inclement Weather Policy:
  • BTM follows Anne Arundel County Public Schools for cancelations. Per the facilities policy, if AACPS is closed or delayed BTM will not meet in person.
When inclement weather is predicted well enough in advance, the BTM Leadership Team will make a decision and notify families by 8 am via email about closings and whether virtual learning will be utilized.
  • When neither in-person or virtual classes will be held, tutors will communicate their snow day plan via email and/or Google Classroom.
  • If Bridge classes are NOT canceled and a tutor cannot get to BTM due to travel distance or worse conditions in their location, they should send a group text and email their families the new plan as soon as possible. Likewise, families should make their own decision about whether it is safe enough to travel to classes. Absences should be reported to tutors as usual to be excused and make-up work requested.
