We were thrilled to see staff, students, and families from our feeder schools come together to honor the rich traditions and contributions of the Hispanic community. The event featured delicious food, lively music, and captivating performances that showcased the diversity and talent within our community. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this festival a resounding success. Your enthusiasm and support truly made it an unforgettable experience!

Families, we are seeing an increase in Yondr pouches and their destruction. Be reminded that pouches cost $30 each through the vendor. Starting October 7th, students must pay $30 for a lost or damaged Yondr pouch (1st Time). Any additional damaged or lost pouches start at $35 and increase as the infraction increases.

For the BAHSLA Cell Phone Policy with these changes, click here.

We’re excited to announce that State Fair of Texas tickets will be distributed to students in advisory classes. The fair is a fun and exciting tradition, but we want to remind everyone about the new minor policy that will be in effect this year.

Along with their ticket, each student will receive a letter outlining the minor policy, which requires anyone under the age of 18 to be accompanied by an adult (21 or older) after 5 PM while at the fair. We’ll also be sharing expectations for behavior to ensure all students represent BA with pride and uphold our standards for respect and responsibility.

Please review these guidelines with your student, and remind them to enjoy the fair safely and responsibly. Let’s make sure Cougar Country shines both at school and at the State Fair!
