BUS ROUTES THAT CAN NOT HAVE EXTRA RIDERS
At this time we are experiencing a number of overcrowded buses with 3 to a seat and we are unable to accommodate extra riders. The following bus routes are not excepting bus passes until further notice. We are taking student counts on all runs and will be adjusting routes over the next couple weeks.

Rte 13, 14, 16

*MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE BUS ROUTE # THAT YOU WILL BE RIDING ON YOUR NOTE BEFORE YOU BRING IT TO THE OFFICE.

* YOUR NOTE MUST BE STAMPED BEFORE THE 2:25 BELL

BOX TOPS
Please turn in box tops as we go so there are not so many to count and prepare for redemption.
Place box tops in collection box or deliver to Mr. Muck in room #201.
Please, Make sure 4th hour teacher's name is clearly marked on the bag with the number of box tops in each bag. Keep clipping!! 

PHONE USE DURING SCHOOL
Under no circumstances are you allowed to text your parents or anyone else during the school day. If you are feeling ill, come down to the health room. If you forgot something or need something, please ask your teacher for permission to call home.

CHROMEBOOK REMINDER
Students please remember to limit what you take to each class. Chromebooks can not be stacked on several books. The bottom of the blue case has support to one book only. Carrying several books increases the chance for your chromebook to slip and break. Broken chromebooks will have to pay a $25 deductible to get it fixed.

Students should always carry chromebook cases by the handle.

TEAM PAGES
www.bedfordsports.com has team pages for all Bedford Junior High Teams.
