Welcome to the BHS Express

Hello Bulldog Families.

The long wait was worth it! Welcoming our Bulldogs into the building on Thursday was such a rewarding day! By the end of the day, everyone was more comfortable with the new surroundings and was beginning to feel more at ease. By Tuesday or Wednesday of next week, all of us should be back to our normal school-year routines!

Please reference the student drop off maps that are posted on the district and the school’s website. This will help keep all of the Bulldog Place traffic running smoothly as we safely bring a lot of students on campus at the same time.

Your students will likely feel a little tired this week as they are adjusting to the new school routine. To help with this, encourage them to maintain a consistent sleep schedule and to detach from their phones as the evening winds down. Students who get the appropriate amount of sleep do better in school and remain more focused.

We look forward to a full week with our students when we return to school on Monday! We hope you enjoy your weekend.

In service to our Bulldogs.

Hello, BHS Families.

Student Parking:

Next week we will start distributing parking passes to students. Starting Monday, September 18th students must have a parking pass in order to park on campus. Passes are $35 for the school year and can be purchased on EZPay. Please reiterate safety with your student driver. Students not operating their vehicle safely will have their parking pass revoked by administration.

Lockers:

Lockers are available by request. Students will reach out to me and will receive a locker and a combination if they desire. We will issue those starting next week.
