You know it's Spring when:
  • The campus daffodils bloom;
  • It rains, hails and the sun shines all within the same hour;
  • Teachers move their classes outside; and
  • Seniors pick up their cap & gown orders.
Have a great Spring Break!
ABCs OPEN TODAY
ABC Annual Back to school Check-inIt's time to do the ABCs for all students returning to BISD for the 2024-25 school year.  

Our Annual Back-to-school Check-in (ABC) process lets us know that your student(s) are returning to our schools for 2024-25 and allows parents/guardians to review annual information. 

The ABCs must be completed* for all students attending BISD schools in 2024-25 — this includes both new and returning students.  Access the ABCs by logging into your Family Access account. It should take about 15 minutes (or less!) to complete. 

If you need assistance with the ABC process (such as translation, accessing technology, or other questions), please contact the office manager at your student's school.  

*Class placement/class schedules will not be released in August until the ABCs are completed. But why delay? Go ahead and take care of it today! 

 

COUNSELING MESSAGE TO SENIORS

SENIORS - You’re almost there! 

It's that time of the year where seniors are hearing back from colleges and figuring out their next steps post high school...So we thought we’d share some important reminders, plus a few resources for navigating this exciting time. PLEASE READ this message that was sent to all seniors on March 28.

CLASS OF 2024 ~ SCHOLARSHIPS, GNO & IMPORTANT DATES
Class of 2024Graduation is only 12 weeks away! 
Here are some upcoming deadlines:
CAP & GOWN ORDERS: After Spring Break, please stop by the BHS front office and pick up your orders. If you still need to place an order, go to Jostens.com.
CLASS T-SHIRTS: If you ordered a shirt and didn't pick it up today, senior class officers will distribute them after Spring Break. Running Start students will be able to pick them up at the front office.
BHS SENIOR SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION IS NOW OPEN IN NAVIANCE AND DUE APRIL 10: This simple scholarship is open to all BHS and EHHS seniors who plan to attend a 4-year college, community college, or trade program. Last year over $100,000 in scholarships were awarded through the BHS Scholarship program. Apply by Wednesday, April 10th to be considered for several community sponsored scholarships. This is a firm deadline! The Naviance link can be found on your Google App Launcher Icon (Google Waffle) or on the BHS Counseling Webpage. 
GRAD NIGHT OUT 2024: Grad Night Out (GNO) is a once-in-a-lifetime graduation event! GNO is not a school sponsored event. It is sponsored and planned by senior parents. The venues are "Top Secret" but the activities are not! We have planned a fantastic night filled with dancing, music, games, entertainment, surprises, and food. NO ONE should miss this wonderful opportunity! ALL 2024 BISD Grads are invited! More details can be found here as well through the GNO website.
IMPORTANT SENIOR DATES: Check this document periodically as we add new information/dates when we receive them.

ONLINE PAYMENT SITE

Miscellaneous Fees/Fines: Check to see if there are any outstanding fees or fines for your student. This can include parking tickets, missing sports fees, overdue books (these fines are removed from the system if books are returned in good condition) and other items. It is especially important for senior students to be thinking about now as fines must be cleared upon graduation.
