As we wrap up our sixth week of school, I want to take a moment to thank our students, parents, teachers, and staff for an incredible start to the school year. I am truly grateful for the energy, pride, and support that make Boerne High School such a special place.
I’m excited to share that our enrollment has reached a historic high of 1,585 students: the largest enrollment in Boerne High School history! This growth is a reflection of the strength of our school, our students, and our incredible community. We are proud to be Greyhounds!
Key Focus: First Grading Period & Attendance
We are just a few weeks away from the end of our first grading period (9 weeks). Now is a great time for parents to be proactive and check in with your student about their current grades. If a grade isn't where it needs to be, have a conversation about what steps can be taken to finish the grading period strong.
And please include your student's teacher in the conversation. Our teachers are your best resource and are committed to helping students learn, grow, and be successful.
Attendance Matters
Finally, we cannot overstate the importance of daily and on-time attendance. Students need to be at school and engaged in learning each day. Every day of instruction matters, and consistent attendance is one of the building blocks of student success.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support. We are excited about what lies ahead and are committed to making Boerne High School Better Today, Ready for Tomorrow.
I’ll leave you with this thought:
"Stay focused, keep showing up, and don't let a hard moment decide where your story goes next." Damon West
Everyone has a role in our students' education: the students, teachers and staff, parents, and our community. When we work together, our students thrive.
Go Hounds! 💜

From the Counselors...
We’re now in Week 7 of the grading period, with just three weeks remaining until the end of the first grading quarter! We have also 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 as students work toward finishing the quarter strong!
A Few Tips for Staying 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.

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

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.

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.

Parent excuses may also be submitted through the Skyward Attendance Notification Tile.
