BHIS FIRST EVER PARENTS NIGHT OUT EVENT!
Reminder of Door Times
We have noticed a few families still trying to enter the school in the morning through the office doors before the front office doors open. So, we decided to include the school door schedule in this volume of Tiger Times in this issue as well.
School Door Schedule
MORNING The cafeteria door will be opened at 7:30 am every morning for breakfast. Kids are only allowed to be indoors to have breakfast. Kids are not allowed to roam the school nor visit classrooms due to a lack of supervision. At first bell (7:50 am.) all doors will be open for all to enter the school. At 7:55 am all students are to be in their classroom. After 7:55 am all students are to enter through the main doors at the front office. AFTERNOON All after-school pickups should be done at the upper field. Once the after-school programs start back up, all students should be picked up at the back lower playground. Front office doors will be closed every day at 3:30 pm.
Final Call for Lost and Found
Morning Drop Off and Parking
During morning drop offs we have noticed an uptick in families running over cones as well as parking next to cones and exiting vehicles. The cone areas are for drop off/kiss & drive only, meaning that the driver is to not exit the vehicle to walk students into the school. Doing this is holding up traffic and making it difficult for others to drop off their students. So once your students have exited your vehicle, we ask that you pull off safely so that others can do the same. If you need to walk with your student, we ask that you find parking elsewhere that is not a coned area.
