5 Info for you to know Students are only to ride buses to Taylor if you are riding a bus home or going to a school event at the middle school or Taylor. You are not permitted to ride to Taylor then walk to town. If a student wants to take their permit to drive,they must come to the office and get a permit paper that must be signed by the guardian/parent and a school administrator. Please do by Wednesday if you are going on a Friday. Bad grades and poor attendance can keep this from happening. Important fact: All sport participates need a physical.

30 All Athletes Please Take Notice If you play any sport at BCHS you are responsible for the uniform that is given to you. You need to keep them clean and free of tears and rips. When you turn the uniforms in to your coach they should be ready to be used for the next season. Even more important the athlete is responsible for turning in their uniforms at the end of that sports season. Right now we need SOFTBALL Uniforms and baseball uniforms that HAVE NOT BEEN TURNED IN. If your child played either of these sports this past year and they have not returned all of their uniform it needs to be done now Turn into the office immediately. The season will be here before you know it. The uniforms are very expensive so please if any of you have any uniforms from any sport, return them. Bring in your uniforms
