We are happy to announce that the new BHS Saturday School is ready.  Our
first session will be Saturday, December 15th.  This will be the only
session for this month.  Starting January 19th, we will begin with sessions
every other Saturday.  The hours will be from 9 am to noon.  Tutors will
help students with work missed the days they were absent.  Attending a full
three-hour session of Saturday School will excuse six of a student's most
recent unexcused period absences. 

 

Students may not drop in to Saturday school; they must sign up in advance.
Space will be limited to the first 30 students who sign up for each session,
with priority given to students with many absences.   To sign up for
Saturday school, come by the attendance office in room D-134.  Or call
644-6341, and leave your complete name, your mailing address, and best
number to reach you.

We anticipate heavy demand for Saturday school among students with multiple
unexcused absences.  Starting in quarter two, which began October 29th, any
student who misses 30 periods of class without an excuse will get blocked
from school dances and from work permits.  Every three tardies will count as
one unexcused absence. The count will accumulate all year and will also
apply to seniors who want to attend prom.  Coming to Saturday school and
bringing the number of period absences back under a threshold of 30 periods
allows student to attend dances and get a work permit.
