1. Attention Parents and Students, we have a new Message Board in the 
Administration office.  This message board will have notes and 
information for any student at BHS.  Parents who want to leave 
messages for their child can contact the office and we will leave a 
note on the board for students to come by and check.  Students please 
walk by the board and see if you have a message.  This is designed 
for those parents who want to remind their students about 
appointments, what to do after school, etc.  We will NO LONGER 
interrupt classrooms for these types of messages.  Students it is 
your responsibility to check the board for messages.

Bernadino, San Francisco, San Jose, Sonoma, and Stanislaus.  Not all 
majors are open at these campuses. If you need help with your

SENDING TEST SCORES:

8. If you are finished taking SAT's and /or ACT's and haven't told 
College Board or ACT to send your test scores each UC and Cal State 
campus where you are applying, do so ASAP.  To send your SAT scores 
to Cal State campuses, use the code 3594 (CSU Mentor) and you will 
only have to pay once to make your scores available to each Cal State 
campus.  This service is not available through ACT.

9. If you're taking the SAT and/or the ACT in December, make sure 
that you have listed all of the UC's and CSU's on your registration 
form (you can use the code 3594 to send all of your SAT scores to 
each CSU campus) so that they will receive your scores.  If you wait 
until you get your scores and then tell the testing agency to send 
them, it will be too late.
