BHE Boundary Update:

 

At last Monday’s Board of Trustees meeting, Dr. Blaine (SBISD superintendent) announced it will not adjust any boundaries this year that will affect Bunker Hill. Video of the meeting is HERE. 

 

When asked what relief would be given in the near term to support Bunker Hill,  Dr. Blaine stated that the district is working with Dr. Rios to find “creative uses of space” to accommodate Bunker Hill’s over-enrollment. She also stated that Bunker Hill currently has small groups meeting in open spaces such as the hallways and the library, and the district will purchase partitions that are "somewhat sound-proof.”

 

If you would like your voice heard on this subject, you can reach out to the Board of Trustees and/or Dr. Blaine. You may also speak at the next Board of Trustees meeting at the Duncan Klussmann Education Center (9016 Westview), but must sign up to do so by noon the day of the meeting.

School Safety Reminders

11/17/2025 6:00 pm

BHE’s top priorities are safety and learning!  As parents, we are partners with our wonderful educators in maintaining a safe campus that is focused on teaching and learning. Here are a few reminders:

• During arrival and dismissal, car riders must be dropped off or picked up in the carpool line on the west side of campus, entering from Kimberley.
• The front parking lot off of Taylorcrest is reserved for buses. Unless you have prior approval from the administration, please do not enter the parking lot during arrival and dismissal.
• At all times, please respect the families and faculty who have reserved parking spots.
• When parents and other visitors come to the BHE during the school day, they should ring the doorbell  facing the camera, and state their name and the purpose of their visit.
• During lunch, visitors should sit and eat with just their student at open cafeteria tables, picnic tables in the Learning Plaza, or tables in the hall just outside the cafeteria. Please don’t sit with or give treats to other children.
• Unless on yearbook duty, please refrain from taking photos of other people’s children.

We appreciate your support in keeping our children safe and ready to learn while they are at school!
