Parents/Guardians of BHS students: This is a very important message concerning attendance and receiving credit for courses for the fall semester. Mr. Mullinax recently sent an email to students that have not met the state required seat time, and therefore, will not receive credit for the course. To help with this, BHS will hold an Attendance Recovery session on January 3rd. Please ensure your student checks his/her email to see if they received an email from Mr. Mullinax. Details about the session are included in the email. Each email is student specific with the courses needed to recover and the time required to stay at the session to receive credit for those courses.
