Infractions - Detentions - Suspensions
COMMON MINOR INFRACTIONS , including pajamas, cropped tops, and wearing a hood in the building can be seen/found here. These are the infractions (besides classroom tardies) that frequently cause students to be assigned detentions. Failure to serve a detention - which are regularly scheduled on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays - results in being scheduled a Saturday detention. Failure to serve a Saturday detention results in In-School Suspension (ISS), and possibly Out of School Suspension (OSS).
β Follow the rules - STAY IN SCHOOL!!
βGREAT THINGS ARE HAPPENING AT BHS!!
THE BHS MEDIA TEAM
For this school year, student leadership in one of our main focus areas. With that, we present to you the 2024-2025 Student Media Team!! Please FOLLOW THEM on the various Social Media options below, as they build their communications and marketing skills! We're looking forward to all the great ways they'll share our great news!
Student Drop Off in the Morning:
Parents and Guardians, if you have been dropping your student(s) off at the East parking lot (staff and student parking lot entrance), beginning tomorrow, you will not be permitted to leave the lot until 7:14 AM unless you have a permit. The exit leaving the staff lot will be barricaded π« until that time for the safety of staff and students. To avoid this, please use the student drop-off entrance on the West side entrance near the VBPS Central Office and follow the guided route to SAFELY drop off your student(s). Do NOT drop your student off anywhere except in front of the athletic wing doors where we have security guards guiding you and preventing any unnecessary accidents. If EVERYONE follows these instructions, drop off will move smoothly and timely.
Additionally, when exiting student drop off, you may only turn βπ left until all West side traffic is clear. This is to keep traffic flowing for buses, staff, and students who need to enter on the East entrance. Once you turn left, you can make a quick right on High Street to go East. Please be patient π and use compassion when dropping students off. Our traffic guards are doing their best to keep traffic flowing and to keep everyone safe!
If you are a student driver, you must have a parking sticker on the top left of your windshield. Parking permits for the school year are $50.00. The application is in the main office. If you need to drive a different car, you will need to get a temporary parking pass. If you will be driving multiple cars, you may purchase another parking sticker for 5.00 for the second car.
If you only drive once in a while, you can purchase a one-day parking pass for 1.00 per day in the office. You can purchase this in advance. If you have any questions, go to the Main Office or email Paula Slingerland.
