Credit Loss - Email sent 1/23/2023
Dear BHS family,
We hope you and your student(s) have started off second semester on a positive note. As we move into 2nd semester, we want to remind you and your student of the importance of being present in school. Consistent attendance is a leading indicator in your child’s academic success. Along with impeding academic progress, chronic absenteeism could cause your child to lose credit in his/her classes. Below is the credit loss policy listed in the BHS student handbook:
CREDIT LOSS
Students must be in attendance in a class for a specific number of days per school semester in order to earn credit. As a result, the number of absences per semester is limited to 10 per class. As a matter of procedure, the attendance office will notify parents by letter when a student has accumulated 5 or more non-school-sponsored absences in a class. Thereafter, it is the student's responsibility to monitor his/her attendance to avoid credit loss. When the number of absences in a class exceeds 10, the course grade will be recorded as an FC (failing grade due to credit loss) which grants no credit for the class and counts as an F in the student’s GPA. When a student is notified of credit loss, he/she must see a counselor immediately. If the class is the seventh subject for a sophomore or junior, or the sixth subject for a senior, the student may be withdrawn from that class at the discretion of an administrator. However, the student will be required to continue to attend the class if it is the sixth subject for a sophomore or junior or the fifth subject for a senior.
The only exceptions to the above absence limit standard are medical absences with a signed doctor’s excuse stating the specific time that the student could not be in school, school-sponsored activities, in-school detention absences and out-of-school suspensions. Unusual situations or exceptions will be considered by the administration.
Attendance Codes at BHS:
Count towards credit loss:
“E”--Parent calls in to excuse student for non-medical related event. (ex: family vacation or long weekend)
“U”--Student did not attend class and parent did not call to excuse the student.
“A”--Parent calls in due to the student being ill without medical excuse
Exempt from credit loss:
“M”--Student is absent and brings a note from a medical doctor/dentist. Parent must also call
the office to excuse the absence.
“C19”--Parent calls to report student has contracted Covid-19.
“S”--Student is absent due to School-sponsored activity.
“C”--Student is absent due to a family funeral or other family emergencies.
If you need help getting your student(s) to attend school on a regular basis, please reach out to Bismarck High, and we will work with you to provide support or help direct you to services in the Bismarck community.
Thank you,
Bismarck High School Administration

Little Free Library
BHS has a Little Free Library in front of our building on 7th Street! The main purpose is to encourage BHS students to read, but because a LFL is a “take a book, leave a book” philosophy, you might find literature from all genres and levels. Feel free to grab a good read for yourself and exchange it with one you think students might find interesting.
And the beautiful box was decorated by our very own, Paul Noot (BHS Art teacher).

BPS Family Assistance Fund
The Bismarck Public Schools Foundation (BPSF) has established a BPS Family Assistance Fund. Those that wish to donate may do so through the foundation website or by mail. To donate online, go to https://www.bpsfoundation.com/donations/bps-faf/. To donate by mail, send checks to the BPS Foundation at 806 N. Washington St., Bismarck, ND 58501 and write “BPS-FAF” in the memo line. Families seeking assistance are encouraged to reach out to their counselor or social worker who will connect them to established community resources as well as submit requests for funding needs that cannot be met within existing resources. The BPSF thanks those who have already reached out to volunteer and/or provide monetary donations to help those within our community who are struggling.
