Families-

Our student-athletes are in the heart of the Fall athletic season. Being an active participant does mean that classes will be missed. Please reinforce with your student-athletes that when they miss class for athletics, they are responsible for getting that work made up. Missing for athletics does not excuse them from having to complete work for their classes. Overall the feedback from teachers has been good, but as we continue to miss class it is a good reminder.

Get your Spartan apparel delivered to your home and be ready to show your Spartan spirit. Great gift ideas for the entire family. Click on the link here and start shopping today!

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.

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
