Attention BHASD Families! Social Media TestDrive is an interactive online simulation designed for students aged 9-13 to safely learn and practice digital literacy and citizenship skills—before they go live! This is a great opportunity to help young learners build smart and responsible online habits.
The School District will be operating under a two hour delay. Road conditions, particularly in the higher elevations, are snow covered and slippery from the snow from last night. A delay will allow for roads to be treated and a safer travel in daylight.
🐟 Big news from the tank! Our trout have officially entered the alevin stage! 🎉 Right now, they’re still hanging out with their yolk sacs, which provide all the nutrients they need to grow. They’re not swimming just yet, but they’re busy developing into strong, healthy fry. For now, we’re keeping the water clean, oxygenated, and disturbance-free to give them the best start. Stay tuned as they take their next steps (or rather, swims)! 💦 #TroutInTheMaking #AlevinStage #LifeCycleInAction
📞🍔 Life skills in action! Our Life Skills students have been practicing making phone calls, and today they put their skills to the test—ordering takeout from Jak’s! 🎉 Each student called the restaurant, placed their own order, and even handled payment and pickup. A hands-on lesson that ended with a delicious reward! 👏

The School District will be operating under a two hour delay. Due to the temperatures right around freezing, the road conditions, particularly in the higher elevations, have black ice. A delay will allow for roads to be treated and temperatures to warm.
🏀 Teacher Appreciation Night 🏀
Last week, the boys' basketball team took a moment to honor the amazing educators who’ve made a lasting impact on their lives. The players presented their travel jersey to a teacher who inspired, guided, or supported them on and off the court.
Here's some of what they had to say:
✨ D'Andre Thomas → Mrs. Konyak: "She's always there for me—really kind, understanding, and positive."
✨ Eagan Coffin → Mrs. Ohl: "Mrs. Ohl pushed me to always be curious and learn a little more every single day."
✨ Jaxton Henry → Mr. Stephens: "He's really nice and always made me laugh. He brightened my day when I walked into his class."
✨ Tommy Clark → Mr. Sheeler: "In addition to being my favorite teacher, Mr. Sheeler was also my golf coach. I appreciate his dedication to helping me improve on the golf course and in the classroom."
✨ Bergen Smeltz → Mrs. Bleiler: "She takes care of every student like they're her own children and puts unconditional effort into making each class fun and intriguing."
✨ Scotty Ray → Mr. Tannous: "Mr. Tannous is a great teacher that also loves to talk hoops. He's always helping me be a better player and student."
To all our incredible teachers—you’re not just educators, you’re life-changers. Thank you for the lasting impact you leave on every student who walks through your doors. 💙❤️
