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 4:30 p.m. Students will be required to use their IDs to enter the building when entering the 700 hall, Rebel Entrance, and ROTC area entrance.

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

You can find the link for Parent Portal on the J. F. Byrnes website. The application uses a secure link that encrypts the data to and from the end user and is very secure.
