BHE Families,
Happy November!
October was filled with so many fun events and activities, and I have loved seeing our students, staff, and families come together to make these moments special. We have so much to celebrate and be thankful for at Bedford Heights!
As we enter this season of gratitude, I want to take a moment to thank our amazing teachers and staff for everything they do each day to support our students. I also want to thank our families for your continued support and partnership. It truly takes all of us working together to make BHE such a wonderful place for our Bulldogs to learn and grow!
We are also thankful to have Mrs. Julie McAvoy continuing to support our campus while Mrs. Z is away. She has been a great addition to our school, and we appreciate all that she does for our Bulldog family.
As a reminder, the Bulldog Bulletin will continue to be sent once a month during Mrs. Z's leave. This month's edition includes important dates, events, and reminders to help keep you informed.Β
I hope everyone has a wonderful November and enjoys some quality time with family and friends!
With Kindness,
Mrs. Burdett
Parent & Community Survey
Parent & Community Survey
Our HEB ISD parent & community survey is coming soon! On November 4, 2026, parents will receive an email with a link to take the parent survey, which includes questions about the school district and our school. If you don't receive an email, don't worry β we will also post a link to the survey webpage.
We want to hear from you! The feedback from everyone who takes the survey is combined into a report for each school, plus an overall report for the entire district. The information lets us know how your school year is going and which topics are most important to you.
Arrival and Dismissal Reminders
Arrival and Dismissal Reminders
School doors open at 7:15am and the first bell rings at 7:40am
Tardy bell rings at 7:45am; all students not in classrooms at this time will be counted tardy
Please follow all posted city traffic and parking signs. Law enforcement has been ticketing vehicles that are not following the new signage, including designated No Parking areas and No Left Turn restrictions.
Please use designated crosswalks and safe drop-off locations at all times. With many young children and a high volume of traffic around our campus, dropping students off at undesignated locations or crossing the street outside of a crosswalk creates a significant safety risk. Convenience should never come before safety. Please model safe practices for our students by using designated drop-off areas and crosswalks every time.
Dismissal in circle drive has been completely clear by 3:15 each day. Please be aware that students not picked up by 3:15 will be taken into the building and parents will need to come into the office to sign them out.Β
Thank you to everyone who has volunteered, adjusted routes, and supported us as we have continued to refine our arrival and dismissal procedures.Β
Β β Rainy Day Dismissal Reminders β
Β β Rainy Day Dismissal Reminders β
Kβ6 Car Riders: Please use the car rider pull-through in Circle Drive whenever possible. This helps reduce congestion under the awning and keeps dismissal moving.
Dismissal Signs: Walk-up and car rider parents MUST have their student dismissal sign visible (physical copy or photo). Students will not be released without proper identification.
Walkers: Please make an alternate dismissal plan, if possible, during rainy weather. Students cannot be released to walk if lightning is within 6 miles of the school. This includes walking to the park or other off-campus meeting locations.
Transportation Changes: Please communicate any dismissal changes to your childβs homeroom teacher by 2:30 PM on rainy days.
Car Rider Pick-Up: If this is not your usual dismissal routine, please refer to the dismissal map for car rider pick-up locations.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work together to keep our students safe!

Check Lost & Found
Please remind your Bulldog(s) to check the Lost & Found located in the Cafeteria for any missing jackets, water bottles, lunch boxes, or other belongings. We have quite a collection of items waiting to be claimed! Thank you for helping us reunite these items with their owners.Β

Dear Bulldog Families,
Cold and flu season is here, and we are seeing an increase in respiratory illnesses throughout Tarrant County and our schools. We want to do our part to keep our Bulldogs healthy and in the classroom!
We encourage families to help us prevent the spread of germs by reminding children to wash their hands frequently, cover their coughs and sneezes, and stay home when they are feeling sick.
At Bedford Heights, we are doing our part, too! We are reinforcing good handwashing habits, sharing educational videos with students, regularly cleaning high-touch surfaces, and providing hand sanitizer throughout the building.
Please refer to the guidelines below for reminders about when your child should stay home from school.
Thank you for partnering with us to keep our Bulldog family happy, healthy, and ready to learn! β€οΈπΎ

Lunch Visits with Your Bulldog πΎΒ
Lunch Visits with Your Bulldog πΎΒ
We love welcoming families to campus for lunch! If youβre joining your Bulldog, please help us keep lunch visits safe, enjoyable, and special for everyone by remembering the following:
Bring a government-issued photo ID. All visitors must present an ID at the front entrance and sign in to receive a visitor badge. No exceptions.
Please limit lunch visits to one day per week. This gives your child plenty of opportunities to enjoy important social time with classmates and friends.
Lunch time is special one-on-one time! You may eat only with your approved child. Other students may join you only when they are also eating with their own approved visitor.
Please remain at the designated visitor tables and keep your visitor badge visible throughout your visit. Visitors should not enter the cafeteria, student restrooms, classrooms or hallways.
Make the most of your time together! We encourage families to put screens away and enjoy connecting and talking with their Bulldog. Weβll even have conversation starter cards available if youβd like a little inspiration!
Thank you for helping us create a safe, welcoming, and positive lunch experience for all of our Bulldogs and their families! πΎπ

πΎ Be a Bulldog: U is for Understanding! β€οΈπ
πΎ Be a Bulldog: U is for Understanding! β€οΈπ
Throughout our second six weeks, our Bulldogs have been learning what it means to show Understanding! We've focused on three simple but powerful words: LISTEN. CARE. INCLUDE.
Students have been encouraged to listen to others, show empathy, respect different perspectives, and help everyone feel welcome and included. We've learned that even small acts of kindness can make a BIG difference in someone's day!
At our upcoming Bulldog Bash, we'll celebrate students who have demonstrated Understanding through their everyday words and actions. We are so proud of the ways our Bulldogs are putting these character traits into practice!
β Up Next: L is for Leadership & Learning!
β Up Next: L is for Leadership & Learning!
As we begin our third six weeks, we're moving on to the next two letters in BULLDOG β L and L! Our focus will be on Leadership & Learning!
We'll encourage students to lead by example, make positive choices, help others, ask questions, and embrace new learning opportunities. We'll remind our Bulldogs that you don't have to be the oldest, loudest, or first in line to be a leader. Every student can lead through kindness, responsibility, effort, and a willingness to learn and grow!
Families can help reinforce these traits at home by asking, "How were you a leader today?" or "What's something new you learned?"
Lead by Example. Keep Learning. BE A BULLDOG! πΎβ€οΈπ
π±Cell Phone Safety & Responsibility
π±Cell Phone Safety & Responsibility
Cell phones can be a great way for kids to stay connected, but learning to use them safely and responsibly takes practice! As children begin having more access to phones, texting, games, and social media, simple conversations at home can make a big difference.
A few helpful tips for families include talking about keeping personal information and passwords private, thinking before posting or texting, being kind online, telling a trusted adult when something feels uncomfortable, and knowing when itβs time to put the phone away.
Weβre sharing this Cell Phone Responsibility Contract as an optional family resource. It can be a great conversation starter for discussing expectations and helping children develop safe, healthy habits with technology. π±ππΎ
