Burleson High

Due to several circumstances, subtle changes will be made to the BHS Tardy Policy.  Beginning Monday, November 9th, when students reach the ninth cumulative tardy in a six weeks, they will be assigned to a D-Hall after school.  For every 2nd tardy after the ninth in a six weeks, students will be assigned an additional after school detention.  Tardies will reset at zero at the beginning of each six weeks period.  Failure to attend an assigned D-Hall may result in truancy charges being filed.

The Gifted and Talented nomination window for Burleson ISD secondary (6th-12th grade) students is now open for all parent, teacher, and community member nominations. The window will be available through November 20, 2009.  Nominations must be received at BHS by 4:00 p.m. (this includes mailed forms) on the final day of nominations (November 20, 2009).

Forms for nominating a student may be downloaded here found or picked up in the respective schools' offices.

Effective Monday, September 21st, Burleson High School will begin enforcing slightly new traffic patterns. 

Drivers exiting the Fine Arts exit and the main exit must turn right onto Elk Drive.  Drivers exiting the student lot must turn left onto Elk Drive.  No vehicles other than school busses will be allowed in the drive between the student lot and the building. 

These changes should facilitate a quicker, safer dismissal procedure for all involved.

The primary responsibility of any school is the safety and security of the students and staff.  In keeping with this philosophy, BHS has made some subtle changes to our parking lot in the front of the school.  You will notice that there are now 10 spaces directly in front of the main entrance to the school marked "Visitors".  The addition of these spaces should make it more convenient for those visiting the school for various reasons to find a place to park close to the entrance.  It should also help to reduce the traffic backup in the afternoons due to cars parked along the curb.  We are also in the process of placing "No Unattended Vehicles" signs along the curb to help with this issue. 

We welcome you to BHS at any time.  We just ask that you stop at the Guard Shack on your way in so that they can give you a visitors parking pass for your car dash.  This will help our parking monitors maintain accurate records of who is on campus at any time.  Please return the pass to the Guard Shack upon your departure.

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation with the parking procedures.  We realize that the traffic flow is not optimum, but we are constantly searching for ways to improve.
