BHS Parents Group

Dear BHS Community,

Thank you for joining us for 8th Grade Night and Open House (and for appreciating the staff earlier in the morning with such yummy treats). Our students are such excellent performers, spokespeople for their programs, and demonstrators of their passions.  The teachers are always excited to show off what your children are learning on a daily basis. Thursday was yet another Proud Principal moment. 

Our new fire alarm system went live on Wednesday (part of the Voter approved Bond Measure modernizing our facilities). We appreciate the community support for excellent schooling. The new system works so well, it can detect smoke from vapes in the bathroom. This, however, did result in a 20 minute evacuation on Wednesday. While BHS generally takes a restorative approach to disciplinary matters, seeking to change behavior and help adolescents to make better decisions, the school will apply serious consequences to anyone caught vaping on campus, if it causes a school evacuation. This loss of instructional time is highly disruptive. Besides sending a message on BTV, I have also asked representatives at Student Council to report anyone vaping in the bathroom.  As a reminder, please use our anonymous reporting system STOPIt to report an incident of any type.

Finally, if you didn’t see Something Rotten already, you have three more opportunities next weekend. Don’t miss it.

Dear BHS Parents and Community,

We’re just two months away from the end of the school year, and we’re kicking off our final push for the Excellence Fund! Over the next few weeks, members of the board will be reaching out personally, as we are still $60,000 away from our goal.

If you’ve already donated—thank you! Your support makes a huge impact. If you’ve been meaning to donate but haven’t had the chance, now is the perfect time. It only takes a moment, and you can contribute here: Donate Now.

Also, a quick scheduling update: Our Parents Group meeting originally planned for this week will be rescheduled, as it coincides with Back to School Night. We’ll share the new date soon!

Thank you for being a part of our incredible BHS community!

Best,

Mike Jarrett

President, BHS Parents Group
