BUCKAROO Update

Approximately 75 students across BHS and BJHS have been assigned Saturday School. Please check your students attendance record in Skyward. IF THEY HAVE MORE 5 DAYS OR PARTS OF DAYS OF UNEXCUSED ABSENCES, THE STUDENT HAS SATURDAY SCHOOL. Anyone can attendance Saturday School. When in doubt, just come to Saturday School.

Students have been notified. If you are not sure if your student has Saturday School, here's how to figure it out:

• For every UNEXCUSED ABSENCE over 5 (even 1 period in a day), students are assigned ONE DAY of Saturday School.

For everyday you participate in the Red Ribbon Week Dress Up days, you will receive a ticket for a drawing for prizes. You can pick your ticket up at the front of the high school or by the gate to the courtyard.

DATA FOR THE WEEK:

• 9th Grade - 93.0%
• 10th Grade - 94.6%
• 11th Grade - 90.4%
• 12th Grade - 94.2%

GREAT JOB EVERYONE! SOPHOMORES win extra time during lunch on Monday! SENIORS! GREAT JOB! Maybe you can eek out the sophomores next week!

The Counselor’s Corner newsletter from Mrs. Henderson & Mrs. Pearce has critical info, including dates for parents. It is shared on ParentSquare, but here it is in case you missed it!

​"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."​ – Theodore Roosevelt
