Will I have a locker?

All students at BCHS are issued a locker during the first week of school.  Most students will have to share a locker.  Only the students assigned to a particular locker are allowed to use it.  This is important in order to maintain security.  However, it is recommended that you not use your locker to store items of value such as purses, MP3 players, etc. 

 

Am I allowed to have a backpack?

Backpacks are allowed at BCHS.

 

Am I allowed to bring MP3 players or cell phones to school?

This is strongly discouraged.  Any such devices brought to school remain the responsibility of the student.  They are to remain out of sight at all times.  These items will be confiscated if they are seen or used at school.
