Bobcats,
It is officially SPRING BREAK 2024! When students return they will take the Math Benchmark on Tuesday, March 19th. Please ensure that students are on time that morning and have charged devices if they have Hays CISD devices checked out to them. After lunch we will follow a flipped bell schedule. Meaning, students will go to lunch with 4th period but will transition to 3rd, 2nd and end the day with 1st period.
Reminder that after school all Bobcats not participating in an after school activity, attending tutorials or otherwise being monitored by a BMS staff should leave campus by 4:00 PM. Car riders should be picked up by then and walkers should walk off campus. There is no supervision after 4:00 for our Bobcats outside and our parking lot is not safe with the large number of HHS students/parents that use our parking lot. Also a reminder that once students exit the building they are not allowed re-entry to the building. Students attending tutorials or an after-school activity should report immediately to that teacher without leaving the building. The Late Bus is also only available for students that are attending an after-school activity and not students who are loitering outside after school unsupervised.
