We have included some important information below as we head into the month of May (hoping for better weather!). You can expect a very detailed graduation information email from me around May 10th, outlining specifics such as dates, times, parking, tickets, etc. Everything related to the end of the senior year will be included in that email (it will also be sent to your students).

Finish the year strong!
With graduation upon us, please encourage your son/daughter to finish this year strong. Colleges do want final transcripts from students who have committed to their institution. This means it is important that grades are maintained through 2nd Semester in order to maintain one’s academic record.
Info from Mrs. Martin
May 1st College Decision National Deadline
Seniors- If you have made your college decision, please remember to accept their offer of admission by May 1st.

Bye Bye Bulldogs
Team 2019 and BHS TV want to celebrate each senior's future plans in this year’s Bye Bye Bulldogs video! Thursday, May 2nd and Friday, May 3rd during lunch in the Senior Academy, wear your plan - apparel from your future school, branch of service, or job. BHS-TV will have a camera set up to record a 10 second clip of you announcing your plans. Cue cards will be provided – it’ll be so easy! The video will be edited together and shared with seniors as a memento for your class. So - seniors, all you have to do is wear your plan May 2nd & 3rd and listen for the announcement with instructions at the beginning of lunch.

Dress Code Reminder
As the weather turns warmer we want to remind everyone that clothes need to remain in compliance with our dress code policy. We understand that students want to follow current fashion trends, however when student appearance is deemed out of line with what is appropriate for school or violates commonly accepted standards of modesty, students will be asked to change. Dress code information can be found on page 20 of our Student Handbook.
