Happy Thanksgiving!
Greetings Belleville Families, this is Week #13 and we will be in session for only 2 days this week - Monday and Tuesday - due to the Thanksgiving Holiday. During this season of Intentional Gratitude, we want you to know that we are grateful for the opportunity to not only educate your students, but to also serve and support them. Know that while we are planting seeds of knowledge, we are also learning and growing alongside them - and there's no other place we'd rather be!

BUILDING, STUDENT AND STAFF SAFETY
We have been reminding students recently that school safety is the responsibility of us ALL. Please be intentional about discussing these two items with your student(s).
Building Entrances/Locked Doors: All entry doors in the building lock at 7:20am. After this, the only doors that may be utilized are at the Main Entrance. Students are not to open, leave from, nor prop open building doors. Failure to follow these safety protocols results in immediate suspension. Additionally, access to the building is limited to needs only, so students who are being picked up early will be able to call and be confirmed from the main entrance parking lot.
Metal Detecting Wands: BHS utilizes wands as a metal detection option. These wand searches take place in the hallway of randomly selected classrooms during randomly-selected hours. We have developed a swift, yet thorough process to help detect anything that could be deemed as potentially dangerous. We believe that the random selection process will be more effective than announced, routine, or predictable searches. These "wanding" events will be attended and supervised by our local law enforcement.
Homework Lab📚
We wanted to inform you that the Homework Lab and Testing Center at BHS is open. It is put in place to provide additional support to our students. We encourage you to share this information with your respective classes and colleagues. The Homework Lab will be available on Tuesday and Thursday from 2:15 to 3:15. During this time, students can receive assistance with their homework assignments or seek guidance on any academic challenges they may be facing. To ensure a smooth and efficient process, it is required that students sign up using bookmarks before attending the lab. We recommend that they sign up before 1:00 pm to secure their spot.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us.
