Perfect Christmas Gift
It’s the perfect Christmas gift!  Buy a penny hockey board starting December 1st. They are only $2.00 at the concession stand during all lunch hours. These 
games were made by the 8th grade technology education classes. They are loads of fun, and you don’t even have to go to the store.  Buy them while supplies last.

Yearbook
Year books are on sale now for $45.00.
The online price is $45.00 plus $2.00 service fee. 


The BJHS School Publication department is offering an "early bird" special for $43.00 only at the junior high school through Winter Break. In order to receive the special price, the books must be ordered in the cafeteria during lunches.  All sales after that will be $45.00 and sale of the yearbook ends on Valentines.

Bus Depot
Recently we are having two issues in the Bus Depot with our Junior High Students.  Please remember to get on your buses as soon as possible.  Buses need to be on time for their elementary routes.  Too many students are "hanging out" in the center of the bus depot.  Also Junior High Students need to refrain from demonstrating public displays of affection in the depot (kissing).

Chromebooks
6th and 7th grade students - We have received notice that Chromebooks have been seen unattended during after school sporting practices/events. Please remember that you can return to your locker after practice to retrieve your Chromebook. Chromebooks should never be left unattended, in the gymnasium, or under a tree. It is important to remember that each student with a Chromebook signed an agreement at the beginning of the school year that states...
I will be responsible for my Chromebook at all times.
My Chromebook will never be left unattended
I will store my Chromebook in my secured locker at BJHS while at sports practices or after school activities

Bus Notes
Reminder to all students - Bus notes to ride another bus home after school MUST be stamped in the office BEFORE the end of sixth hour.

Happy Birthday Today
