Dear Minutemen and Minutemaid Families,
It is with great excitement to finally welcome you back to the 2020-2021 school year at Bunker Hill High School! Speaking for all of the BHHS family, we have missed our students and look forward to once again providing an engaging, collaborative, and positive learning environment for all. We also look forward to welcoming you to an updated interior, with new modern vinyl flooring, a new minutemen/minutemaid logo at the front entrance, and a new building addition to service our agriculture/industrial arts departments.
As you likely have heard, we will be back to school in-person using a hybrid model beginning on Monday, September 14th. The specifics of the plan are outlined in the attached flyer. For blended families, or for families who have students who attend Wolf Ridge on certain days, please contact the high school office to request a change in attendance days. Lastly, for the sake of safety and security, we will be following a particular set of phase 4 procedures. An abbreviated list is outlined below for your convenience.
As always, I look forward to working with you and being a part of a collaborative effort in service to our students.
Respectfully,
Matthew E. Smith, Principal
