(A ClassDojo message is not enough since those sometimes go unread until later in the day). We all at BHES are so happy to see everyone come to school each day. Myself and all the teachers care about you all and want to make every day as awesome as we can. We're here to help you have fun, to learn, and to grow. We're here to help you be safe, be healthy, and be happy.

Starting on Monday we are making a change to our Car Rider line for dismissal. We are working to avoid having too much cross traffic on the side streets which impacts the conditions of the roads and has caused issues in our neighbors' yards. Please refer to the included picture. The yellow lines refer to the path our buses will take and the red lines refer to the path we are asking cars to use. We need cars to pull north onto N Charlesworth Ave, turn east(right) onto North St, turn right(south) onto Market Place, and then right(west) to return to Holloway(2750) in order to line up in front of the school. It will be important to make space at the intersection of Holloway and Charlesworth to allow cars and buses to enter the street and go north. Once again, this new traffic pattern will begin on Monday August 21st. Thank you all for your cooperation in helping our neighbors and to improve the flow of traffic on our side-streets in Bismarck.
