Growing Cultural Awareness in Our Elementary Students

11/3/2025 6:30 pm

In elementary school, children are beginning to notice the world around them in new and exciting ways. One of the most meaningful lessons they learn during these early years is how to understand and show respect for people whose backgrounds, traditions, and perspectives may be different from their own. This is called cultural awareness, and it is a vital part of helping students grow into kind, empathetic, and responsible citizens.

School Safety Reminders

10/6/2025 7:00 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!
