A NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPAL...
Dear Bidwell Parents:
I want to express to you how pleased I have been with our students and staff at BJHS. I have found the students enthusiastic and very positive. The staff has been equally the same. If you have a few minutes on Friday, April 21st, come by the Library at 8:30 for a cup of coffee and morning snack and visit with me. I will be more than happy to answer questions and share with you what the remainder of the school year holds in store.
After being retired for a few years, it has been very rewarding for me, and I hope our students and staff , to be back in a middle school, with such enthusiasm and energy. It has been a true joy. If you can’t make it Friday, please do not hesitate, to call or make an appointment to meet with me if you any questions or concerns. I look forward to that.
Sincerely
Stephen J. Piluso
Principal
