Week 40 - June 4 to 8



Please take the time to share this information with your child/children.
It is a good way for families to connect with the school.

CIA Book Drive
The Children in Action (CIA) will be collecting used books from the BHES community from Monday, June 11th to Friday, June 15th.  Books can be sent to your child's homeroom and will be collected from each classroom on a daily basis. All used books will be sold at our upcoming Carnival on June 19th for $1. All donations will go to 360 Kids in Richmond Hill.

Parking Lot
Road safety is an important issue for all, and especially important in school zones where the increased number of children poses a significant safety concern. Please be sure to use extra caution as you approach the school, and follow all directional signage. Cars have been observed recently travelling in the wrong direction through both the bus loop and the parking lot. As a reminder, all vehicles must enter the school parking lot and/or kiss and ride from the south entrance and leave safely through the north exit.
The kiss and ride/bus loop is also our designated fire route, and as such is always a no parking zone. On occasion, a by-law officer or YRP will ticket vehicles parked in the fire route. Any time you pull up in front of the school and exit your vehicle (with or without the engine running) to drop off a lunch or pick up a child is considered parking in the fire route and you may find yourself ticketed. Also, double-parking your vehicle in the parking lot with the engine running is an unsafe practice. Please park your vehicle on the road and approach the building on foot. We recognize the inconvenience this causes, but the alternative ticket is probably more inconvenient.
