[BHS etree] ADMIN: Spirit Week Expectations

[bhs at idiom.com]

Below, please find a message from Pasquale Scuderi, BHS Vice
Principal, as well as student conduct expectations, theme days and
events, the bell schedule and other details about BHS Spirit Week.

Dear Parents and Caregivers:

I am attaching a handout that teachers were given this week outlining
Spirit Week. As you know, Spirit week begins next Monday, 10/16, and
safety and security for kids are the staff's chief concerns. 

We thought it might be somewhat useful to forward this handout to you
for posting on the e-tree. It outlines the activities for the week,
and most importantly, it covers our expectations in the way of
student conduct.

Having parents chat with their students about these expectations
might be one more way to ensure a safe and positive environment
during a week where energy and decibel levels will no doubt be on the
rise.

Cordially,
Pasquale Scuderi
Vice Principal
