BHS will be hosting a series of parent forums. These meetings are designed to gather input from parents and serve as a means to increase parent involvement in discussing focus areas and strategic planning that will be an inclusive and meaningful roadmap for BHS. Our first session will be in the BHS Library Tuesday 1/10/23 from 5:00 to 6:00PM.
As a result of police activity near the campus, BHS was placed on a modified lockdown at 2:39 PM as a precaution. Dismissal of students had already occurred, and the police activity was not at all related to anything at BHS.
At 2:41 PM BPD notified us that we were clear to resume normal activity. Any students visible on campus were brought into the building until we received the all clear.
Happy New Year BHS Students, Staff, and Families!
Students will return to school on Thursday January 5th.
Students will be on the "C" Day schedule where they will attend periods 1-8 for Thursday 1/5 and Friday 1/6. The week of January 8th, BHS will return to the regular schedule that was followed first semester. Parents, please remember that the front gates do not open until 6:55 A.M. because we do not have staff in place to monitor students. Please help us reduce traffic on Delgado by not arriving to line up too early. Lining up too early prevents students and staff from reaching the building. Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE to Seniors: Be sure to reschedule your meeting with Ms. Lawson, if you missed your meeting in December!
Good evening BHS!
Thursday, December 15th and Friday December 16th, students will be taking their finals for their classes. Finals will both be paper-pencil based and computer-based. To be prepared for all of your finals, make sure you bring your laptop fully charged to school both days.
Thank you and best of luck with your final!
Good Evening BHS families! Beginning tomorrow, BHS will be returning to our original student drop-off routine. Student drop offs will enter through the main gate on Delgado, proceed to the second entrance, continue through the student drop-off lane and exit out the main gates.
Student parking will continue to enter through the Eagle Lane gate, drive around the 700/Garage building and proceed to the student parking lot.
As we return from break, student drop off will be the same as before break. Enter the north gate from Eagle Ln and proceed behind the CTE/700 building.
Form two lines-Parents stay left for drop off traffic, student drivers stay right then turn right for student parking. ADA /wheelchair placard access follows student drop off traffic- security staff will guide you behind 900 building. STAFF parking is the same as before break. Please use caution and be patient. Thank you for your cooperation.
REMINDER of picture retakes and picture pick up 11/28.
Good evening BHS families! Due to the temporary shift to remote learning we were not able to pass out student pictures or hold retakes when originally planned. On November 28th students will be able to pickup their pictures and take a picture retake if needed from 8-12. Have a restful week and we will see you back in school on November 28th.
Thank you everyone for your cooperation with our drop-off and pick up procedures! It flowed nicely. We will repeat the same procedures Friday 11/18.
Reminder that we will open the north gate off of Eagle Ln. for parent drop off and student drivers at 6:55 AM. This allows time for staff to be set up to guide and monitor traffic and students. Again, thank you for help with arrival and dismissal. We had a great day having our students back in person! We want to give a HUGE shout out and Thank you to all BCS Support Services and all district personnel for their support and assistance- We appreciate you!
Additional parent and visitor information-Gates will open 6:55-7:00 AM
Parents will use the north gate off of Eagle Lane to enter campus. Students may be dropped off near the sidewalk entrance. Parents will exit campus through guard gate exit. See attached link for the map: https://5il.co/1kuyu.
The map is posted in the documents section on the BHS page as well.
Visitor parking will be across the street from the main campus near the Garage or 700/ CTE building. The current visitor lot near the front office will be closed as there is no walking access to the main building.
Good afternoon,
We are excited to announce that we passed the inspection and Mr. Sanchez has given the go ahead to have students in person Thursday and Friday, November 17 & 18th.
We will not open gates to students until 6:55-7:00 so we can be set up to receive and guide students.
The guard shack drive in entrance will be CLOSED.
Student driver traffic will proceed as usual behind 700 to the student parking area.
Parents who drop off must also enter through the north gate around the 700, turn east and drop off in the driveway near the main sidewalk that runs between the 100 and the 400.
Students will be served cold lunch on Thursday and Friday.
Thank you for your patience, grace, and understanding as we navigate the construction issues.

Good afternoon BHS families! We will need to have all classes remain in remote learning through at least Wednesday of this week. Belen Schools Leadership is currently working with the contractor and exploring all options to develop a plan to safety bring all students back onto campus and resume in-person learning as usual. For any students who are struggling with remote learning at home, we do have workstations setup on campus and our usual bus routes to and from the school for any students who need it. Thank you all for your continued patience as we work through this issue. We will continue to send updates as new information comes available.
Good Afternoon BHS Families!
Crews are on-site working diligently to resolve the gasline issue at BHS. We will need to remain on remote learning for tomorrow, November 10th.

Breakfast and lunch will be available to all students who are here on campus. We will try to keep you updated as soon as possible as to the status of next week.

Just a reminder BHS will be in remote learning through Teams meetings and Schoology. Please check your available technologies tonight to determine if you are able to log into both of these platforms. If you are not able to log into both platforms, please plan on bringing your laptop to BHS tomorrow where we will have tech support, network availability, and a workspace for all students who need it. Normal bus routes will be running tomorrow if needed. Lunch will be served for all students who work from campus tomorrow, but we will not be serving breakfast or nutrition break.

As a reminder, Friday November 4th will be a remote learning day for all BHS students. A link to all your students' Teams meetings for each class will be available on their class Schoology page. Attendance will be taken for each class based off of students' login and full participation in each class. In order for students to be counted present they must be logged into class the entire class period with their camera on. If students do not have a working device and/or capable internet connection to participate in class with their camera on, they will need to report to Belen High School were we will have work stations, network connection, and tech support. Regular bus transportation will be available. The BHS cafeteria will only be serving lunches to students who are working from campus. Breakfast and Nutrition Break will not be available.
