Student Parking on Campus
Dear Greyhound Students and Families,
We are writing to share an important update regarding campus parking rules, space availability, and enforcement. To ensure the safety of our campus, proper traffic flow, and fair allocation of spaces, all students driving to school must strictly adhere to campus parking regulations.
Please review the following key policies and availability updates with your student:
Current Space Availability: Please note that overflow parking is now completely sold out. We are reviewing any available slots and will continue to monitor as we have students move or withdraw to potentially add students to the parking list.
Valid Parking Stickers Required: Every vehicle parked on campus must be properly registered and clearly display an official parking sticker in their windshield.
Designated Parking Locations: Students must park exclusively in their assigned reserved/painted spot or in designated overflow parking areas (if an overflow sticker was previously purchased). Parking in unauthorized spaces or in another student's assigned spot is strictly prohibited.
Strict Enforcement & Unpaid Fines: Active ticket enforcement has begun. Please note that students with unpaid parking tickets risk having their on-campus parking privileges revoked.
Towing Notice: Vehicles parked on campus without a valid parking sticker are subject to being towed at the owner’s expense.
Questions, Parking Sticker Purchases & Vehicle Updates: If your student wishes to purchase one of the remaining reserved spots, needs a replacement sticker, needs to register an alternate vehicle for their assigned spot, or has any parking inquiries, please have them visit Ms. Sutton in the Assistant Principals' (AP) Office or email her at Carlie.Sutton@boerneisd.net
Thank you for your cooperation and support in keeping our campus safe and organized.

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.
