The High School Office doors are open from 6:45-7:00 AM for students taking an Early Bird class in the 6-12 building. Students are to check in with the office staff and then proceed to class. The only exception to this is those taking Weights and Conditioning. This class meets at the field house and students should enter through the weight room doors. Students who drive may park in the student parking areas, but still need to enter through the HS entrance. Students being dropped off should enter through the High School side of the main office.

The traffic flow will be identical to the morning arrival, requiring all vehicles to follow the one-way traffic pattern. The parking lots are NOT a student pick-up location. This is for the safety of all students and drivers.

• Student Drivers – Please be cautious as you exit the campus. Please be advised,  there is no access to Barrister Road.

Regular Student Attendance

Regular Student Attendance is a significant parent responsibility.  Many studies correlate regular attendance with success in school.  If a student will be absent, the parents must notify the school office by 8:30 am and provide an explanation.  Your child’s education is important to us, so please make sure your child attends school regularly and is not tardy.  

Breakfast/Lunch Details

Breakfast and hot lunches will be served daily beginning on Wednesday, August 13th and will again be free to all students.  Money can be added to your child’s account in case they wish to purchase extra milk or will need milk on days when they pack.  Money can be added to lunch accounts through the parent portal or by sending money in with your child.  

To assist with the process of bringing a check to school for your child’s lunch account, we ask that you send it in an envelope with your child’s first and last name, the amount enclosed and their Student ID# clearly marked on the outside of the envelope.   Please help your child memorize their Student ID# as soon as possible as it will help them during the breakfast/lunch process.

Visitor Guidelines

When any non-school person needs to visit the Bryan Middle/High School campus during the school day, they should be aware of the following process.  First, parking for all visitors is located in our south parking lot off Fountain Grove Drive.  If you are here to visit the Middle School, you will enter the southwest doors, marked Bryan Middle School.  If you are here to visit the High School, you will enter the southeast doors, marked Bryan High School.  You will be “buzzed” in by the office staff and only able to enter the building by entering the office area first to identify yourself, stating the reason for your visit, and additionally acquiring a visitor badge to be worn at all times when in the building itself.  For the safety of our students, please be aware that our staff may ask for photo identification of visitors.

School Resource Officers

Our School Resource Officers are a vital part of the BCS campus and an important part of our buildings. Their presence is another safety net for our students to help ensure their well-being as they learn each day. Make sure to say hi to them when you see them.

Lockers

If a student wishes to have their locker locked, they may bring in their own personal lock to place on the locker. It will be the student’s responsibility to remember their locker code should they choose to place a lock on their locker.

Book Bags

Students in grades 6-12 are permitted to carry book bags. Students carrying bags of an excessive size or number will be directed to leave items in their lockers. Teachers may have bookbag-specific items for their students.

Cell Phones - State Law

Student cell phones, per State Law, are NOT to be out or used during instructional time. Teachers may request for student cell phones to be placed in a specific classroom location to help avoid potential distractions. 

Student cell phones also may NOT be used during AM or PM school transportation on school buses at the request of the driver.

Per State lawmakers, at times, cell phones may be used for instructional activity at the request of the teacher or to monitor or address a health concern if the student has a written statement from their physician.

With this State Law, if a parent/guardian needs to reach their student during the school day, we ask for parents/guardians to reach out to the school building's main office. 

Dress Code

The BCS dress code is located in the Student Handbook in the Code of Conduct section. Students are not permitted to bring blankets to school. They may not wear hats, unless it is a theme day requiring hats. Students may wear hoodies to school, but must keep the hood down during the school day.

As a helpful reminder, the questions below should be considered as one prepares for school each day, with the appropriate answer in parentheses.

• Does my clothing expose too much (undergarment/skin)?  (No)

• Does my clothing advertise something that is prohibited to minors?  (No)

• Are there obscene, profane, drug-related, gang-related, or inflammatory messages on my clothing?  (No)

• Am I dressed appropriately for the weather?  (Yes)

• Do I feel comfortable with my appearance? (Yes)

• Does my outfit impact my safety or the safety of those around me?  (No)

Remember as you dress each day that our facility is climate-controlled and dressing for comfort in terms of temperature is going to mean something much different for many of us.
