There is a new Check IN/OUT system. Please use the Chrome books in the office to fill out the form. There will be no more paper forms! Make sure you are doing this each time you Check IN late or Check OUT early. Parents also need to notify attendance of the absence. Students without an 18 consent form are not allowed to check themselves in or out without parental consent or a doctor note per the handbook. Parents may call, email or send a handwritten note with the student if they aren't able to check them in. If you check out and then return without signing back in, you will be absent for the rest of the day.
Please continue to send your student's attendance information to bwhsattendanceclerk@bentonvillek12.org. Sending it to this email address will allow others to make sure the job is done in case I am out of the office. Feel free to call me at 479-286-9668 if you any questions.
This survey is intended to collect data of BWHS student involvement in club, athletics, and/or intramural activities. Please take a minute to fill out the form at your earliest convenience. Thanks- Mr. Hunt
