Message from the Principal

As we wrap up Term 1 and reach the quarter point of our school year, it's a great opportunity to reflect on our progress and celebrate the many accomplishments of our students. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I'm especially grateful for the dedication of our staff, the support of our families, and the many ways our students contribute to making BHS such a special place. We're off to a great start this fall, and I'm excited to see what lies ahead as we continue to create a home away from home where every Spartan belongs, engages, and thrives.

There's certainly plenty to celebrate. From our fall sports successes (Congratulations to Ryan Dodge who was crowned state champion at the cross country state meet on Saturday, and a special shout-out to our girls swim team as they pursue their third consecutive state championship!) to last weekend’s opening of our fall play, our students are shining. We hope you'll take the opportunity to come out and support our Spartans as they continue to excel. BET on Blue & Gold!
 

Quarter Grades & Instant Decision Days

Quarter grades are posted in Skyward for families to access. As a reminder, quarter grades are a mid semester progress report. If you have concerns about these grades, please encourage your student to communicate with their teacher(s). 

To find quarter grades, go to Skyward Family Access→ Report Cards and School Info. 

BHS Counseling hosted two successful Instant Decision Days over the past month. More than 30 seniors earned admission to Western Washington University on October 28, and over 30 more were admitted to Washington State University on November 10.   Congratulations to all our newly admitted seniors!
 
Grab & Go Lunches on Half Days

Pre-Order Grab & Go Lunches on Half Days

Does your student need lunch on our upcoming half day? November 30th is a half day for all students and BISD is offering Grab & Go lunches. To ensure our kitchen staff prepares the correct amount and to prevent any delays with bus dismissal, we are using a streamlined online sign-up system.

Meal Details:
  • What’s Included: Sandwich, fruit, vegetable, snack, and beverage
  • Cost: Charged directly to your student’s regular lunch account
  • Classroom Delivery: Lunches will be delivered directly to classrooms before dismissal so students can take them home or onto the bus
How to Order: Please submit your order here by Nov 24 at 9:00 AM.

Please note: To prevent dismissal delays, all half-day lunches must be pre-ordered using the link above rather than purchased after the bell.

BHS Fall Play ~ Last Weekend!

BHS Theatre Presents: 
Marian, or The True Tale of Robin Hood (Teen Edition) 

Support BHS Theatre students in this gender-bending, patriarch-smashing, hilarious new take on the classic tale. Robin Hood is (and has always been) Maid Marian in disguise, and leads a motley group of Merry Men (few of whom are actually men) against the greedy Prince John. As the poor get poorer and the rich get richer, who will stand for the vulnerable if not Robin? What is the cost of revealing your true self in a time of trouble? Come find out!  

Friday, November 13 @ 7pm
Saturday, November 14 @ 3pm and 7pm

Tickets $12. Online only.

Olympic College Bound Program Application

Are you a senior interested in attending Olympic College after graduation? Enroll in our OC Bound program that brings OC staff to BHS to assist you through all the stages of enrolling. OC staff come to BHS three times over the course of school year to assist students with applications, opening student accounts and registering for class before graduation in June. 
 
 

BHS Lost & Found

Students, please be sure to check the Lost & Found for any items you may have lost. During Thanksgiving Break, unclaimed items such as sweatshirts, shoes and water bottles will be donated. More valuable items such as jewelry and AirPods will continue to be held in the BHS Main Office.
