Health Information - Please Read

In preparation for the end of the school year, we must coordinate the return of any remaining medication your child has at school. Any medication not classified as a controlled substance may be sent home with a student only if the student's parent/guardian provides written permission for the student to receive the medication, or if the student is over 18 years of age. A parent must arrange pick up for any controlled substances directly with the nurse.

Please email nurse@bluehills.org if you have any questions. Meds not picked up on or before Thursday, June 20, 2024, will be discarded.

Report Cards for Term 4 and the End of Year will be published on June 20 in Powerschool.

Chromebooks - Students should keep chromebooks over the summer. Please store them in a safe location, as students are responsible for them.

End of year Calendar

Please note that there are half days beginning Friday, June 14, through Thursday, June 20th for final exams. Students are reminded to plan for dismissal at 10:50 on those days. We cannot have students staying late at school on those days - we appreciate your help.

Debts/Obligations - Please be sure to hand in all books, uniforms, and supplies owned by the school to the appropriate teacher or coach before the last day of school. Otherwise, a payment will be added to your myschoolbucks account. Please pay any outstanding student fees and bills prior to July 1. Please check your "spam" folder for emails from "myschoolbucks" - that is how invoices are sent out!

Summer School - If your child requires summer school to be promoted, you will be contacted by their guidance counselor. Students must pass 100% of their coursework, including shop, to be promoted. Students also must have fewer than 16 absences in order to be promoted. Students with 16 or more absences will be required to attend summer school, according to our attendance policy (below.)

**Summer Vacation**

The student attendance guidelines are contained within the Parent-Student Handbook. Please be advised:

A student will be required to attend summer school upon the accumulation of sixteen (16) absences in order to fulfill BHR attendance requirements. An additional course will be required for every five (5) absences accumulated after (16). All such courses must be taken at the Blue Hills Regional Summer School. All course subjects must be approved by the (ARB) Academic Review Board. If a student is absent on consecutive days it will be counted as one day’s absence if accompanied by a doctor’s note. Notes must be provided within one week of the student’s return to school. All notes must be originals with an authorized signature and date(s) on the doctor’s office stationary. The student’s home phone number and homeroom must be on all doctors’ notes. Absences on special days, assemblies, etc. will be counted as a full day’s absence. A student must be in attendance for at least half the school day to be counted present. Half the school day means being in school from 7:47 am to 11:00 am or 11:00 am to 2:20 pm.

All out-of-school suspensions will be counted day for day towards a student’s maximum number of absences.

If you are not in class or homeroom by 7:48 AM, you are considered absent from school. You must sign in at Student Affairs Office and receive an admittance pass in order to attend class. If you arrive late for school, you are considered tardy and you must report to the Main Office prior to admission.

On the 4th tardy per term and every 4 tardies thereafter, you will be subject to Saturday detention. You and your parent/guardian may be required to meet with the Principal. Parking privileges may be suspended or revoked. Continued tardies may result in more severe penalties being assigned.
