Introductions were made.

VICE PRINCIPAL’S REPORT: Ronda Haun
It has been recently confirmed that we have a student at BHS with a case of TB. The Washington County Health Dept is working with the staff. Two letters were sent home, one stating your child is most likely not at risk and the other stating your child had a class with the student and will be tested on 11/14 or 11/15. It is very rare for TB to pass in a school-like environment. It is much more common to pass in a home setting where there is repeated exposure.

Donations:
BHS received a check for Intel Matching Grants for $1,000.00.
We received a check for $1,217.17 from the Target Rewards program.
Nike has also made a donation of some notebooks.
Target is bringing school supplies.
Both Washington Mutual and Office Depot also have donation programs.

Staffing:
Renee Reyes is returning to BHS after being gone for several years to work in security.
We have hired Martha Setzer as a permanent counselor.

Portables:
Terra Nova is now housed in the first portable.
The next new portable is scheduled to arrive the week of 11/7.

We had several fire alarms on 11/3 due to a faulty sensor in the auditorium. It is being repaired.

ACTIVITIES: David Neislanik
We now have a location for the Mardi Gras dance. It will be held at the Tiffany Center. (February)

They are looking at improving the dances and homecoming and including alumnae.

Winter Formal will include a canned food drive for the Oregon Food Bank. The canned food drive in advisory started 11/3.

There is a huge level of involvement at this school with all groups of students. Research shows the more involved kids are the higher their grades are.
