BHS MASK REQUIREMENTS
Some masks work better to help to stop the spread of COVID-19. Recommended masks include:
- Non-medical disposable masks.
- Masks that fit properly (snugly around the nose and chin with no large gaps around the sides of the face).
- Masks made with breathable fabric, such as cotton.
- Masks made with tightly woven fabric (i.e., fabrics that do not let light pass through when held up to a light source).
- Masks with two or three layers.
- Masks with inner filter pockets.
Masks with vents, masks made of mesh, and gaiters are not permissible.
Here is our progressive discipline chart that addresses a student’s refusal to wear a mask.

S1 FINAL EXAMS & ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE DAYS
BHS recognizes the flexibility and grit of students throughout the first semester. As such, semester final exams for some classes will be suspended. Some advanced placement and dual credit courses may have final exams on December 21st and 22nd as required by the curriculum. Students in all other classes will provide additional evidence of understanding, based on their performance. Regular school day attendance policies apply the week of finals.
BHS COVID-19 Dashboard
The BHS COVID-19 dashboard shows the weekly number of positive cases and quarantine cases among students and staff at BHS.
Please note:
- A positive case is counted on the day it is reported. Every day after, it is placed in the quarantine category.
- Quarantine cases are total students and staff not attending school due to testing positive or exposure to a positive case.
- Positive cases for students are only counted for students who have been in the building for any reason (academic, athletics, clubs, etc.).
For more information regarding COVID-19 at BHS, please see our BHS letter. (en español)
