Attendance Matters

Attendance Matters

We know the winter season is busy, and we appreciate our families’ efforts to avoid taking extra days off around the winter break. Our teachers will be teaching, and our students will be learning right up until vacation starts on December 20th and the first day back on January 5, 2026.

Every school day matters. When students are healthy and able to attend, it gives them the chance to keep learning, connect with friends, and grow both socially and academically. Your support with attendance makes such a difference in helping our students feel connected and prepared. 

If your family or your child needs support around attendance, please reach out to our BHS Counseling team for help.

We look forward to seeing you again when school resumes on Monday, January 5, 2026.
Thank you for partnering with us!

Desserts for Door Decorating Contest

The annual BHS Winter Door Decorating Contest is underway, and the Culture, Community, and Self (CCS) classes are hard at work bringing lots of creativity to the halls. We’ve got all the supplies covered, and now we’re assembling dessert platters for the top six winning classes on December 15.

We’re still in need of cookie and dessert donations. If you’d like to contribute, please check the sign up list.

Thanks for supporting our students and helping spread the winter spirit! ❄️
