ALL NIGHT GRADUATION
The BHS All Night Graduation Celebration is this Thursday night! Each year, we have held a safe, substance-free overnight party for the graduating class. If you are a parent/caregiver of a freshman, sophomore, or junior, please support this celebration by volunteering. We rely on non-senior parents to make this party a success! This is a "pay it forward" event. When our students are seniors, we will be counting on parents of younger students to chaperone the celebration for our children. You will have so much fun helping us host this event! (And we will feed you!!)
Families, friends, and local businesses are encouraged to support the celebration by:
Volunteering during the party as well as with set-up and clean-up: ANGVolunteers2023
Purchasing or picking up food items: ANGFoodDonations2023
Donating door prizes: ANGPrizes2023
Becoming a corporate sponsor: details on our website
To learn more about the All Night Graduation Celebration, read our parent/caregiver letter here. Seniors and their caregivers can read our ticket letter here.
THANK YOU!
New Location-Student item drop off
To minimize visitors entering the building this year we have moved the student item drop off location to the vestibule located by the main doors. Please ring the bell and we will let you in. We encourage you to try to meet your student after school for the items but in the event that does not work please leave items on the table right inside the vestibule.
The high school is not responsible for electronics, money, keys, sports equipment, etc. left at the table. Students can check for the item dropped off in between classes and at lunch.
If your student forgot their school iPad please bring that into the main office.
When calling the absence line please state if your student is ill or not ill.

FRIENDLY REMINDER
*Allergy Season*
Dear parents/guardians, as most of you know, spring allergy season is upon us and some people are affected to different degrees. I just wanted to remind you that I do not provide allergy medication, including nasal sprays, antihistamines or eye drops. Please be proactive about your student’s allergies and have them take their prescribed allergy medication before school, so they will be comfortable for the duration of the school day. Depending on the severity of the pollen allergy, those with seasonal allergies can feel pretty miserable during this time of the year. Please reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you. - Annmarie

How do I...
Get dismissed? Please bring a note to the main office in the morning. (or call 781-275-1700) Students will be given a dismissal pass to show the teacher and head right out of class at the dismissal time. This helps us to reduce the number of class disruptions.
Get a locker? Your Advisor will supply you with a lock. You will select a locker, then your Advisor will record your locker number and combination just in case you forget it. It happens!
Get a Parking Sticker? The Parking Sticker application may be found here.
Get my Aspen ID? If you need your ID or are having trouble logging in please contact tech_support@bedfordps.org
Find my lost items? The lost and found bin can be found in the student office.
Pick up a dropped off item? We encourage you to try to meet your student after school for the items but in the event that does not work please leave items on the table right inside the vestibule. (Parents/Guardians, please label item your dropping with name) Please note; we do not interrupt classes for drop offs. Students can check for the item dropped off in between classes and at lunch.
