BHMS Principal's Update July 2021
Summer Info, Orientation Information, etc.
I hope you all have been having a wonderful summer and are able to spend time with the family. We will update this newsletter throughout the summer. If you have any questions about the start of the year, please do not hesitate to call the main office. This has been a very difficult year for everyone and as mask restrictions and social distance ease up, we hope this remains true for New Jersey's Public Schools. We are looking forward to an awesome year of getting back to truly living day in and day out what it means to be a Bulldog in school as well as in the community. Please see some important information below.
Sincerely,
Mike D'Ostilio
