in
        time for the holidays, here's some cheerful news...<o:p></o:p></span></p>
    <p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Our
attendance
        continues to improve.  This month we hit <b>94.5%</b> --
        a milestone for BHS.  In previous Decembers we hadn't been able
        to reach
        out of the cellar of 92% - 93%.  A colorful chart with this (and
        other) data is attached.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
    <p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">There's
still
        much more to do, of course.  BHS will continue to focus efforts
        on
        reducing the number of unexcused absences.  The time has also
        come to
        begin tackling the issue of -- gulp -- students with chronic
        tardies.
         Expect more news on this when we return in 2014.  <o:p></o:p></span></p>
