2026-27 Chick Fil A Day - Volunteers

🐔 It’s Chick-fil-A Day at BHS!🐔

Five times throughout the school year, Boerne High School PTO gets the opportunity to sell Chick-fil-A during all BHS lunch periods!  It is always a fun day on campus! Even better, all proceeds from these sales go directly back to support BHS PTO programs.  We need volunteers to help make each CFA Day a success! Come help us serve lunch, see the kids, and support BHS at the same time! Please consider volunteering for one (or all 😃) of our Chick-fil-A Days this year. We would love to have you!

Before You Volunteer:  All volunteers must complete the BISD Volunteer Application before volunteering.

Pre-Register:  The week of each event, please pre-register so your visitor sticker will be ready when you arrive.

From the Counselors...

We have reached our first UIL Eligibility check of the school year this week. Now is a great time for students to review their grades, communicate with teachers, and take care of any missing assignments or opportunities to improve their grades. A little organization and effort now can make a big difference! 
A Few Tips for Stayimang on Track:
  • Check your assignments daily and know what is due.
  • Use your planner, calendar, or school platform to keep track of upcoming deadlines.
  • Google Classroom links directly to the Google Calendar with links back to assignments.
  • Break larger assignments into smaller steps rather than waiting until the last minute.
  • Ask questions early if you don't understand an assignment or course material.
  • Take advantage of tutorials and teacher support.
  • Reach out for help if you are feeling overwhelmed.
Remember, Greyhounds, you don't have to figure everything out on your own! Your teachers, counselors, and support staff are here to help you get organized, stay on track, and have a successful year.
Small steps today can make a BIG difference tomorrow.
ASVAB Testing- Juniors & Seniors
Reasons you should take the ASVAB even if you have no plans to join the military...
*Discover your strengths- see which areas you naturally perform well in
*Explore careers- your results can connect your skills and interests to different career fields
*Help with future planning- Use your results as a starting point when considering college majors, technical programs, careers, or military options
*Learn more about yourself- It can give you a better idea of the skills you may want to develop
*It's FREE!- You get valuable career information without paying for a career assessment

Bottom Line: You don't have to know what you want to do after high school to take the ASVAB. Your results may help you discover options you haven't considered yet!

Date: Wednesday, Sept. 23rd
Location: BHS Library
Time: 8:30am

26-27 School Year Attendance Procedure

We want to help families navigate attendance and early release procedures smoothly this school year.

Early Release & Student Pick-Up
  • For safety reasons, student pick-up/sign-out ends at 3:30 PM (30 minutes before dismissal).
  • Parents/guardians or approved emergency contacts must present valid photo ID when checking out a student.
  • Only contacts listed in Skyward Family Access may pick up students.
  • Please allow time for the office to locate and retrieve your student from class.
Planned Early Releases
  • Submit early-release requests through the Skyward Attendance Notification Tile by 8:00 AM the day of dismissal, or preferably the day before.
  • Students should pick up their dismissal pass from the Attendance Office before school or during a class change.
  • Students must return to the Attendance Office at the designated time to complete the sign-out process and receive their Raptor pass.
  • Same-day appointments or emergencies: Please call the Attendance Office at 830-357-2206. Online requests are not continuously monitored.
Students Who Drive
Students who drive—or ride with a current BHS student who drives—must have a valid BHS parking permit. Otherwise, a parent/guardian must come into the Front Office to sign the student out.
Only seniors with an Off-Campus Lunch sticker may leave campus for lunch. All other students must be signed out by a parent/guardian.
If Your Student Becomes Sick
Students who feel ill should report to the school nurse. If the nurse sends the student home, the remainder of the day is excused. If a parent chooses to check out a student after the nurse determines they should remain at school, the absence is unexcused unless a parent note is provided.

Documenting Absences
  • Submit original excuse notes/documentation to the Attendance Office within 48 hours of the absence.
  • Parent excuses may also be submitted through the Skyward Attendance Notification Tile.
  • Medical, dental, court, DPS, college visit, and other documentation should be submitted in writing; emails are not accepted.
  • Please allow 2–3 school days for attendance documentation to be processed.
📞 Attendance Office: 830-357-2206
Thank you for helping us maintain a safe, efficient, and consistent attendance process for all BHS students! 💜
