PSAT October 10
Reminder: all students will be taking the PSAT during school on Wednesday, October 10. Please have your child to school on time and do not schedule any appointments for early release on this day. Students will need to bring a sack lunch or they may purchase a sack lunch from the cafeteria.
Calculators will only be provided for juniors taking the PSAT/NMSQT. The test can be completed without a calculator, but if freshmen and sophomores want to use one, they will need to bring their own. Here's a link to the calculator guidelines.
No accommodations will be provided on the PSAT unless the student has College Board approved accommodations.
If you have any questions, please email Mrs. Alley or see her in room E207. Thank you.

Crime Stoppers and Friends for Life
Please take a moment to review the BISD Safety and Security website to learn about our safety programs, including Crime Stoppers and Friends For Life.
BISD knows that students see and hear things. A vital step in prevention is early identification of potential threats and intelligence gathering. In partnership with Tarrant County Crime Stoppers and Friends for Life, BISD provides students with a platform to submit anonymous tips. Students are encouraged to report information that is criminal, threatening, inappropriate, or potentially harmful on topics that may include:
Bullying
Dating violence
Cyberbullying
Family violence/abuse
Gang activity
Sexting
Sexual harassment
Suicidal thoughts
Students are able to anonymously submit tips through a phone app, at www.469tips.com or by calling Crime Stoppers 817-469-8477.
Our students learned about these programs when Mrs. Alley visited their classes earlier this year, and they may come home with questions.
If you have questions, feel free to email or call our office.
Attendance is vital to success!
Lunch prices
To check your child's account balance or make a payment, please click here. You will need your child's student ID number (the code they type in in the cafeteria) to be able to access your child's account.
College Fever is in the Air!
It is exciting times at BCHS for our juniors as you begin to plan for after high school. Remember that you have the opportunity to have two days excused to allow you to visit colleges with your parents. In order to be excused and not count towards attendance, the date of the absence must be pre-approved. Here is the link to the form for approval. You can also find it under Parents/Students on the BCHS website. It is called College Absence Form!
