2021-2022 Suggested School Supply List
BHS has a suggested school supply list for several BHS departments and courses. Some courses list general supplies for all sections and some teachers have individual supply requests for their specific sections. Please review and plan accordingly. Final schedules with teacher assignments will be visible on Parent/Student Portal on August 25th. Students can be proactive in purchasing supplies before the first day of classes. We hope this assists you with the purchasing of school supplies! Use this link to access list: https://bit.ly/2VkI9KF
BHS THERAPY DOGS ARE BACK!
We will be hosting several certified therapy dogs at BHS this year. Prior to COVID, BHS had 4 therapy dogs attending BHS on a weekly basis. Dogs are available to students in the counseling office and main office, along with some classrooms. Your child’s teacher will notify families if their classroom will be hosting a therapy dog. This will be our 4th year with therapy dogs and are super excited to have them back in the building for our students and staff.
