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, COVID-19 Waiver 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:
  • With the new option of virtual learning, PG County may turn to that avenue in lieu of losing instruction time due to weather delays or closings. For this reason, we have decided to make our own decisions about canceling BTM classes based on the local forecast as well as taking into consideration the decisions of Prince George’s and nearby counties. In the event we need to cancel in-person classes, you will be notified via email by 8 am. That email will also let you know if we plan to pivot to virtual learning for the day which will be decided case by case. 
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.
