As we begin the second nine week grading period, I want to thank our students, parents, teachers, and staff for the energy, pride, and support you continue to bring to Boerne High School each day. We had a strong start to the school year, and I am excited about the opportunities ahead. Every new grading period is a chance to reset, refocus, and continue growing as Greyhounds!
Key Focus: A Fresh Start for the Second Nine Weeks
A new grading period brings a new opportunity for students to set goals, build positive habits, and take ownership of their learning. Whether the first nine weeks went exactly as planned or presented some challenges, today is an opportunity to move forward with purpose.
Students, take time to reflect on the first nine weeks. What went well? What could you do differently? Set goals, stay organized, complete assignments on time, and communicate with your teachers when you need support. Small, consistent efforts make a big difference over time.
Parents, continue checking in with your student about their academic progress, goals, and plans for success. Encourage them to take responsibility for their learning and to ask for help when needed. A strong partnership between home and school makes a difference, and our teachers are committed to helping every student learn, grow, and reach their potential.
Attendance Still Matters
As we begin a new grading period, consistent attendance and arriving to school on time remain important priorities. Every class period provides opportunities to learn, ask questions, collaborate with classmates, and build the knowledge and skills students need for future success. Missing class can make it more difficult to keep up with assignments and instruction.
Let's continue encouraging our students to show up, be present, and make the most of each day. Being here matters!
Thank you for your continued partnership and support. I am proud of the way our Greyhound community continues to come together for our students.
Better Today, Ready for Tomorrow.

As we begin the second nine-week grading period, now is a great time for students to review their grades, communicate with teachers, and address any missing assignments or opportunities to improve their grades. Students are encouraged to attend tutorials regularly and take an active role in their learning by asking questions and seeking help when needed. Staying organized, communicating with teachers, and putting in consistent effort can make a big difference in academic success. Let’s start the new grading period strong, Greyhounds!
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.
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.
