Opening and Closing of the Building
The school will be open for student entry at 7:00am. For cleaning and security reasons, among others, students must clear the building by 4:00 p.m. each day. Students should establish daily prearranged times for transportation so they will not need to use the office phone. ​Only students who are under direct supervision of a teacher are allowed to remain past 4:00 p.m.​ No students should re-enter any building after 4:00 p.m. without permission. Students who choose to disregard this request will be subject to disciplinary action. No students should be in the gyms or gym areas unless under the direct supervision of a coach. The main office will close at 5:00pm. Students will be required to use their IDs to enter the building when entering the 700 hall, Rebel entrance, and ROTC area entrance.
Media Policy
Occasionally students, faculty, and staff may be photographed, interviewed, and/or identified for publication, broadcast transmission, and/or electronic display by the news media or school / district public relations officials. All releases will be performed in accordance with school district policy and privacy laws. As required, only “directory” type information will be provided. This includes name, school, grade level, teacher, participation in officially recognized activities, etc. Parents or students who have questions or concerns should contact the school principal.
Parent/Guardian Communications
Parents and guardians may receive the following types of communications from administrators, teachers, and other staff members: Phone calls, notes, letters, postcards (only positive, non-confidential information), and email. School personnel need current phone information (home, cell, and work numbers) and address information (home and Internet) from parents and guardians in order to foster success for students. Information is delivered through multiple means including Schoology, email, facebook, and twitter. Parents are also encouraged to access teachers’ web pages and email teachers for information: www.spart5.net/bhs
