BJH Bobcat News
February 5 - February 9, 2024
Principal's Message
Dear Bobcat Families,
Basketball season is starting soon. The coaches will have an informational basketball meeting this Thursday in Bobcat Den at 3:00 p.m. If your student is interested in trying out for basketball they need to attend this meeting.
This Friday, BOHS 9th Grade Counselor, Mrs. McDonald will visit BJH. She will begin the process of academic plans with our 8th grade students. These academic plan meetings are the perfect way to prepare students for success before they start 9th grade. We always appreciate the hands-on preparation the high school provides for our students to ensure they have a smooth transition.
In other news, I wanted to ask parents for assistance with dismissal. Unless your student has legitimate school business to conduct (i.e. participating in after school tutoring, after school athletics, teen center attendee or other approved activities) please encourage your student to exit the campus immediately after the dismissal bell. We are strongly encouraging students to exit campus after the dismissal bell. If they meet a family member or friend for a ride they are asked to walk to that designated pick up spot. Those that walk, bike or skateboard home are encouraged to do so instead of re-entering campus or hanging out on campus. This helps greatly with supervision and ensures a safe daily dismissal.
Here are some important events this week:
AVID SPIRIT DAY: COLLEGE GEAR
- students and staff are encouraged to wear college gear
