Principal's Corner

SUICIDE PREVENTION WEEK - September 9 - 13 - In ages 10 – 14, we have seen an alarming increase in suicides. The number of suicides for this group has more than doubled since 2006, making it the second leading cause of death for that age group. We cannot ignore this. Our Counselors and District Interventionist will show a video and speak with our students in small groups of 30-35 students during PE class on Sept. 9th, 10th, and 11th. Link to video for you to preview http://bit.ly/MiddleSWVideo If you would like your child to visit the library during the Suicide Prevention video and discussion led by our guidance counselors and district interventionist, please enter their information below.http://bit.ly/VideoOptOut

DRESS CODE AND STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT GUIDELINES - Parents and students, please take a moment to take a second look at the Welcome from Dr. Murphy and the Student Code of Conduct review by HHS students. When we return from our 3 day weekend, students can expect to see the policies more strictly adhered to by Bumpus staff. http://bit.ly/CodeVideo19-20

CARPOOL- SAFETY IS OUR #1 CONCERN 
The procedures we have established for carpool help us to ensure the safety of your children. Please do not compromise their safety by altering the procedures to meet your individual needs. At no time should a child be asked to cross a street without appropriate school supervision.

BUS TRANSPORTATION - Riding with a friend. Transportation does not accept requests to ride to or from school on the bus with a friend. However, students may change to carpool to ride with a friend without notifying the school.

NO OUTSIDE FOOD ALLOWED ON CAMPUS - As a reminder, students are not allowed to bring food into school from restaurants. Food items can be brought in appropriate lunch containers. However, restaurant logos are not allowed in the cafeteria due to regulations. Thank you for your cooperation with this matter.
