BHS Parents Group

Dear BHS Community,

Next week is the calm before the storm. Hope to see your children dressed up for Spirit Days. Leadership works really hard to find themes students want to participate in. Then we have the Goodbye Rally on Friday.

We are administering over 1300 AP Exams from May 5-17. Please help your children get to sleep early and not use any energy drinks to stay up and cram. Remember to bring charged Chromebooks as the guest wifi will be disabled during AP Testing.

If you have a senior who has senioritis, please remind them that participation in the Senior Prank could result in disciplinary action including suspension and not being able to walk the stage at graduation. Also, keep up their grades, as every year, a handful of seniors have their admissions rescinded due to low grades. Hopefully, our seniors will continue being great! And they’ll enjoy the senior picnic, senior slideshow and Grad Night festivities. More about prom next message.

Go Panthers!

Dear BHS Parents and Community,

It’s the Beginning of the End (of the School Year!) 🎓

As we head into the final stretch of the year, we’re feeling incredibly grateful for the amazing support from our BHS community. Thanks to your generosity, we're so close to reaching our goal for the Excellence Fund—but we’re not quite there yet.

If you’ve already contributed, thank you! You’re making a real impact.

If you haven’t yet, there’s still time! Your donation helps fund the programs, experiences, and extras that make Burlingame High truly exceptional.

Let’s finish strong together.

Exciting Gym Progress!

We’ve also got big things happening on campus. Check out this short video update on the gym renovation project—it’s going to be an incredible facility for our students and the entire community:

A Moment of Reflection

If you’re anything like the parents we know, this time of year can feel like a whirlwind of year-end activities. Amid the chaos, we hope you get a moment to soak in how fleeting and special this time really is. Sherri and I can hardly believe our first is heading off in less than four months—and our second (and final!) will follow just a year later. It’s a lot to take in! Wishing you and your family all the best as we close out this memorable year,

Best,

Mike Jarrett
