BHS Happenings

We have just one week left in Quarter 1! The first quarter has flown by and with just one week left in the quarter, we want to make sure that all of our students end the quarter on a positive note. Late buses are available for students to stay after school for extra help on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday of each week. We encourage all students to set up time with their teacher(s) prior to staying.

Next week is Homecoming Week at BHS! This is an exciting week for both students and staff and we encourage everyone to participate in the daily theme dress down days and events. Show your school spirit and come dressed to impress. The daily themes and details for all of the events are included below.

My Conference Time is now open for all parents to sign up for Parent Teacher Conferences. Please sign up to see one or all of your students teachers during one of the available time slots. Instructions are included below for anyone who has not used the system before. Quarter 1 Report Cards will be available at conferences and this is a great opportunity to discuss your child's start to the 2025-2026 school year. We hope to see everyone at conferences!

Parent Teacher Conferences will be held on October 29th and 30th. Conferences will be in person, but we ask all parents to register for their time slots on My Conference Time, so teachers can better prepare to discuss your child. If you need for your conference to be virtual, please reach out to the teacher prior to your scheduled conference to make arrangements for a virtual option. You can schedule meetings with all of your child's teachers or just select ones. Time Slots for conferences are ten minutes. Parents who do not register on My Conference Time, will have to wait for an available slot to conference, as those previously scheduled will take priority. My Conference Time will is open to schedule conferences now. Directions on how to schedule your conferences can be accessed by clicking on the button below.

Picture Day for all BHS students will be next Thursday, October 23rd. All students will have their picture taken during their Language Arts class. Students are required to have their picture taken for our database as well as to receive their student ID. If a student does not have their picture taken, they will not receive a school ID for the entire year. The pictures that seniors have already taken are for the yearbook. Seniors will need to sit for these pictures as well.

Next week is homecoming week at BHS! Each day will have a daily dress down theme and the week will conclude with the Pep Rally, Homecoming Game, and Homecoming Dance. This is a fun filled week for both students and staff and we encourage everyone to participate in the events!
