BEHAVIOR REMINDER

 

We would like to finish this year on the same positive note that we have had
all year, and we would like to remind seniors of a few behavior
expectations:

 

1.      After the Senior Meeting, seniors who violate any school policy that
causes an out-of-school suspension will forfeit all rights for participating
in graduation activities, including the Senior Ball.

2.      Sobriety: For reasons of safety, any student suspected of being
under the influence at any event will have his/her parents/guardians
notified.  Parents/Guardians will be responsible for picking the student up.

 

 

If you have any questions regarding this information, please contact the
Main Office at 510-644-6120.  This information will also be posted on the
BHS website.
