Please DO NOT interrupt Ms. Lennox's class if she is teaching to get a book.

To expedite the pickup...

• You may only get YOUR book (not a friend/sibling)
• You must flip through and ensure there are no missing pages/upside down pages/etc. Once you take the book, it is yours and you are responsible for it
• WRITE your name in the book.
• SIGN in pen to acknowledge you received the book and it is OK.
• There MIGHT be a note to see Ms. Lennox to pick up something extra, if you ordered it.
• If you did not order a Yearbook, but want one, you need to bring in $120 (cash or check made out to BHS Yearbook) to go on the waitlist. The waitlist will be first come, first serve for whoever has the money.
• If you are not on the list, please do not panic. Sometimes, a person makes a mistake when purchasing the book and your book. See Ms. Lennox and she'll help you figure it out!

Return locks to the student office.

• There is a box to drop off the locks.
• Please cross your name off the list.

Our students loved seeing their educators during these final moments of their BHS journey.

Dear BHS Community,

As part of our ongoing commitment to student wellness, engagement, and academic success, we are addressing cell phone use during class time through a proposed addition to the Bedford High School Handbook. We are reaching out to seek your support in reinforcing this important focus on enhancing student learning.

In response to concerns expressed by faculty, staff, and caregivers, we introduced Cell Phone Practices at Bedford High School during the 2024–2025 school year. These practices were developed by a dedicated cell phone committee that consisted of faculty where student and administrative feedback were solicited. We also consulted with a clinical consultant. However, because the practices were not formally included in the handbook, their implementation varied across classrooms. This inconsistency created confusion and made it difficult to hold students accountable in a fair and effective manner.

As we look ahead to the 2025–2026 school year, there has been significant discussion regarding a proposed policy update (linked below) that builds on the pilot from this year. This proposal mirrors the practices we tested, but includes clearly defined consequences and outlines support structures from the main office and counseling team to ensure a consistent and supportive approach.

While multiple policy versions were considered, we prioritized a version that is both consistent and enforceable. If approved by the School Committee, the policy will be closely monitored throughout the 2025–2026 school year. Based on feedback and observed outcomes, we may recommend further adjustments for the 2026–2027 school year.

Please feel free to review the proposal below. A google form is also included for you to provide feedback. We deeply value your partnership and thank you for your continued support. Together, we can foster an environment where students are more focused, engaged, and prepared for success.

Sincerely,

Heather Galante

Principal
