BHS Monthly Update

January 2025

As we welcome the New Year, we are filled with hope and excitement for the opportunities that lie ahead for our students. It is a fresh start, and we are committed to helping our students grow not only academically, but as good, responsible, and respectful humans.

In the coming months, we will continue to focus on the values that matter most: respect, responsibility, and safety. We believe that when students show respect for themselves and others, take responsibility for their actions, and make safe choices, they are setting themselves up for success both in and out of the classroom.

We encourage you to continue reinforcing these values at home, as they are the foundation of a positive and supportive school community. By working together, we can help our students grow into compassionate individuals who make meaningful contributions to society.

Thank you for your continued support. We are excited to see all that our students will achieve in the year ahead!

Make an Appointment

The administrative team is busy supporting students and staff each day. The majority of their time is needing to be in classrooms, PLCs, and present for the students and staff. If you would like to make an appointment to meet with one of them, please either call the school or come in and complete an appointment card. They will get back to you within 24 hours to set up an appointment.

Additionally, if you need to meet with someone from the guidance office, please either call, email, or come in to make an appointment as well. Unfortunately, due to our schedules we are not able to meet on the spot as we all have full schedules in supporting our students and staff.

Thank you in advance for helping us make an appointment by calling, emailing, or coming in to complete an appointment form. We look forward to setting up an appointment and working with you for the success of our students.

Cold Mornings!

The mornings are definitely cold now. As a reminder, students are not allowed into the building until 7:45 as that is the earliest time we have staff on campus to supervise. Please try to keep students from coming to the building until then.

Attendance and Tardies

Attendance will be taken the first five minutes of each class period.

Please send in a written note or email to the front office to excuse any absences within 48 hours of the absence for it to be verified. The email needs to go to: bhs-office@bsin.k12.nm.us

In order to try to reduce the number of tardies this year, we will be making adjustments to the consequences in hopes of changing this student behavior.

**If students are tardy to either 1st period (beginning of the day) or 5th period (after lunch), students will be escorted to ISS for the remainder of the morning/afternoon unless a parent/guardian checks them into the front office.

** If students are tardy to 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, or 7th period they will go to ISS for the day once they have reached four tardies in the same class period.

Please speak to your student about the importance of being on time and being in class.

Please continue to partner with us and remind your child to follow the school wide expectations in being responsible, respectful and safe. We have had several situations occur already this school year that have resulted from students not following the BOLD expectations. We appreciate your support in reminding students of their responsibilities at school. We greatly value your partnership!

Parking permits

Every student that parks on BHS campus MUST have a parking permit in the vehicle. Students will need to purchase a $10.00 parking permit from Ms. Wooten in the front office. They will need to complete the application in the office as well as bring their driver's license, registration, proof of insurance. Failure to do so, will result in a $10 fine that will need to be purchased along with the permit. Otherwise, they may continue to receive additional fines.
