Belén High School

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. GATES WILL OPEN AT 6:55-7:00
