$25 for the Class of '25 Fundraiser - There is still time to sponsor a senior! Our goal is to raise $25 for each senior in the Class of '25. If you have a senior or would like to sponsor one, please see the attached flyer for details.

In August, the Stratford Public Schools issued a letter regarding important updates to the Food Services Program. Starting August 29, 2024, both breakfast and lunch will be charged to students unless they qualify for free or reduced lunch.  Please click here to read the letter from Mrs. Pamela Mangini. 

All lunch applications from the 22024-2025 school year are in effect until Friday, October 11, 2024. If a new application is not filled out prior to October 11, 2024, your child's lunch status will automatically be reset to full pay.

The school lunch online payment system of the Stratford Schools is myschoolbucks.com. Parents may use this system to make payments online and/or to check student balances.  If you experience any problems with this or have other questions, you may contact Myschoolbucks toll free at 1-855-832-5226. Of course, students may make cash or check deposits directly into their accounts at any time.  Cash/check deposits must be placed in an envelope accompanied by the student’s name and ID number (to keep your child’s ID number confidential, do not write the student’s name on the outside of the envelope).  If there is more than one student in a family in any Stratford school, one student may enter the deposit to their siblings account as long as each student’s ID number is indicated as well as the amounts to deposit to each account. Cash/check deposits should be given directly to the cafeteria supervisor. Other information regarding the automated “Point of Service” in the BHS cafe may be found on the district website by clicking here. All parents are strongly encouraged to fill out the online Free and Reduced Lunch Application. Paper versions are available in the main office.

All students who are eligible for bus transportation will be issued a bus pass on Monday, October 14th. On Wednesday, October 16th, Durham bus drivers will start enforcing the bus pass. Students must take the bus they are assigned to and have their pass at all times. If your student does not have their bus pass or tries to take a different bus, the driver will not allow them on the bus and students will be reponsible for finding their own transportation home. If your student should lose their bus pass, they must see Mrs. Sabia in the main office before Block 4 of the school day. There is a $2.00 fee for a lost pass.

There are still spaces available for licensed drivers who are Juniors and Seniors to park on campus. The fee is $50.

If you would like to have your student park on campus, please click here for the BHS Parking Application link. Students must upload a copy of their driver's licence - permits are not eligible to "hold" a space. Once the form is filled out, payment for your parking pass is required. Parking passes will be available for purchase during a student's lunch, study hall or after school.

Each car must have a sticker and be registered with the main office to park on school grounds; unregistered cars may be ticketed or towed. Please see Mrs. Sabia in the main office for further information.
