A MESSAGE FROM OUR ADMINISTRATION
Mari McTamney-Assistant Principal
Michael Belk-Principal
Kevin Mood-Assistant Principal
Greetings, BHS Parents and Guardians! It is our hope that this message finds you doing well as we wrap up the first three weeks of the school year! Please make note that Progress Reports were made available to parents and guardians in the Parent Portal on Wednesday, August 28th! Please take a moment to reflect on the progress of your child up to this point! If they are seeing success, take a moment to celebrate this while asking them to reflect on the actions and commitments that are leading to this accomplishment! If they are not quite seeing the success that they had hoped for, ask your student(s) to brainstorm a list of actions that may lead to growth as they continue to work towards their goal!
Here are a few important dates to be aware of:
- BHS and LCSD will be closed on Monday, September 2nd in observance of the Labor Day holiday! We will return to our regular schedule on Tuesday, September 3rd.
- The first LCSD Community Forum of the school year will take place in the BHS Multipurpose Building on Tuesday, September 3rd at 6:00 p.m.

Reminders from Nurse Sherrill:
Parents,
Please remember to send a water bottle to school with your student every day. Water and snacks are not abundantly available in the nursing office. Students will need an MD note to have water and snacks given out in the nursing office- parents must provide these items.
Students will not be allowed to miss time out of class to come to the nursing office for food and water. Please review this with your student at home and reach out to me if you have any questions/concerns.
