STUDENTS – Due to finals and end of semester assignments due, the library will be available to students during break and lunch for QUIET studying only. There are a large number of students wanting to use this space for studies; therefore, students wanting to play or hang out and visit with each other may do so on campus, outside of the library. Thank you for your consideration of students engaging in serious study. Good luck on finals this week everyone!
STUDENTS & PARENTS – Will you be leaving BHS after the winter break? If so, please see Mrs. Wences in the Registrar’s Office to get the necessary paperwork ready for your new school before we break for the winter recess.
STUDENTS & PARENTS- We are working as a school to donate unwrapped toys to City of Hope Hospital and money to the schools in Paradise California lost in the wildfires. Our goal is to collect $1000 and 250 toys. You can send donations to your son/daughter’s 2nd period class. All donations are due Tuesday, December 18.

Registration closes on January 22nd or when we reach the required number of 25 students – see attached flyer.
