Dear BHS Families:
IMPORTANT REMINDERS
Reminder 1 – MASK WEARING over the nose and mouth.
We need to wear our masks over our nose and mouth while inside the building. Believe me, I get it, nobody wants to be wearing masks all day inside, but for now, we have to do this. We want to remain 5 days/week and stay in school. This is one of the ways we can do that. I hope things change in the next several months. For now, wear your masks!
Reminder 2 – Going outside during FLEX and Free periods.
Students can go outside any time they are free through door 20 near the cafeteria.
There is no need to sign out or back in, but YOU MUST STAY ON CAMPUS! The campus is closed during periods 1,2,3,4 and FLEX. Students are not allowed to leave campus without specific permission during periods 1, 2, 3, 4, FLEX, and 8. You must stay on campus during these periods.
If students have free periods and want to leave campus during OPEN CAMPUS, periods 5, 6, or 7, you must sign out of the building at door 1. Sign back in at door 1 when you return.
Reminder 3 – seeing the cashier when you get lunch.
YES, lunches and breakfast are FREE this year! Free to any students. However, you must go through the line and see the cashier to get the lunch documented. The district has to pay for all lunches NOT documented. You will get through quickly, just be patient and see the cashier.
Reminder 4 – SCHOOL STARTS AT 7:40 AM!
- Homeroom/school starts at 7:40 AM! Last year we started at 7:49 AM so there is a difference. Please make sure your students arrive to school by 7:40 AM so that they can attend homeroom, hear the announcements and Pledge of Allegiance, and receive special paperwork and reminders from homeroom teachers.
