Berthoud High School Newsletter
New Home Football Game Implementation:
Starting, 10/4, NO BALLS or FRISBEES WILL BE ALLOWED at Berthoud Home Football Games. Students getting into the game with special passes need to be supervised by coaches or adults. We are also asking parents to be more attentive to their kids who are playing behind the bleachers during the games. Any Students found under the bleachers will be removed from the stadium. Other Schools in our area have implemented "No Unaccompanied Minors" Policies. We are not there yet but if the Youth Behavior at home games does not improve we will explore that option.
Are you interested in serving as a student election judge this year?
You can earn $17.42/hour and help support democracy in your community by serving. Students who are interested will miss school on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, and are required to have permission from a guardian to participate. This is a great opportunity and a nationally recognized resume builder! See Ms. Barrett ASAP in the library for more information if you are interested in participating.
In-School Opportunity Tuesday and Wednesday of THIS coming week! October 15th and 16th during your open period(s) - Service-to-Go: Healing Warriors in the BHS Library
Join us during your open period(s) to learn more about local nonprofit Healing Warriors, which serves Veterans across Northern Colorado, and help make thoughtful cards and small gifts for their veteran clients. You’ll earn an hour of community service for each open period you attend. See Ms Barrett with any questions.

November/December Opportunity!
The Salvation Army needs volunteer bell ringers from November 22nd through December 24th from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday in Loveland, Berthoud, and Johnstown. The 2024 annual Red Kettle Campaign is one of our primary fundraising efforts, helping to raise much-needed funds in support of many local services and programs throughout the year, including Thanksgiving food baskets and Christmas gifts for children.
The community’s financial support and kindness during the holidays enabled The Salvation Army to assist 31,872 people in Northern Colorado last year. This includes emergency shelter and medical respite lodging for people experiencing homelessness, rent and homelessness prevention, clothing and homeless gear, diapers and hygiene kits, food and snacks, pet food, bus passes and gas vouchers, youth summer camps and school supplies. Of every dollar The Salvation Army collects, $.82 is used to support our local community services.
Volunteers choose the location, date, and shift that fits their schedules. Bell ringers can split a shift with a friend or sign up as a group, and can sign up by clicking this link of locations options or calling Director, Olga Duvall, at 970-699-8380.
Will you please help our BHS staff fulfill their Amazon Wish Lists
Student Recognition (PBIS, Intervention, Student Awards, etc)
ALL students that drive to BHS are required to display a parking permit in their vehicle to park on campus. Please register your vehicle at the following link: http://bit.ly/bhspermit or use the QR code posted by the main office for your FREE parking permit (1st=free, if replacement is needed=$2.00/ea.) Once you have completed the form and it has been processed, you will be called to the office to pick up your permit. The permits are good until the student graduates and will be turned in at that time.
Why is this necessary? For the students and staff safety we need information on every vehicle here at the school. Any vehicle without a permit or who is parked in violation of other school rules or laws may receive a Parking Violation from BHS. First offense is a $20.00 fine and fines go up for second and third violations. Payment must be made to the school’s Bookkeeping Office within 14 days after receiving the violation. Continual violations or a serious violation may result in loss of parking privileges at BHS. If you have any questions, please speak with SRO Deputy, Vince Mosley or Campus Security
