Dear Bohach Families,
A few reminders for the upcoming first week of school at Bohach:
Important Correction: Wednesdays will continue as early release days, dismissal takes place most Wednesdays at 2:45. See calendar for more details.
The first day of school for 1st through 5th grade is Monday, August 15.
Kindergarten classes start on Monday, August 22.
Drop off and pickup: Dropoff and pick up take place in the front of the school in the shared parking lot with Sky Ranch Middle School ONLY. There is no dropoff or pickup on the (west) Pyramid HWY side. You are encouraged to PARK and walk with your child if you would like to accompany them. The playground opens at 9:10, first bell rings at 9:25 and parents do not come into the building in observance of best safety practices.
Transportation updates: Due to extreme staffing shortages, WCSD is only able to offer bussing on a rotating basis. There will be no bus service to Bohach and the Spanish Springs vertical schools (including Bohach, Sky Ranch Middle School and Spanish Springs High School) from 8/22/22-8/27/22 and again from 9/19/22-9/23/22. For registration, stop info and tinmes: https://www.washoeschools.net/Domain/73

Class supply lists: lists of recommended supplies and fees are posted on our website, available through the main Bohach page, link on the left side, click on “Class Supply Lists” or at: https://www.washoeschools.net/Page/15664
Bohach Website: We have information, resources and links available on our school website. This includes a staff directory, links to our PFO, curriculum information, as well as mission, vision, values. Our website is found at: https://www.washoeschools.net/bohach
Dismissal is at 3:30 daily except for Wednesdays (Wednesdays are 2:45 dismissal). COVID restrictions necessitated a staggered dismissal during our first two school years. This is no longer necessary so we will dismiss all students at 3:30. Siblings who meet up after school are strongly encouraged to designate a meeting place outside of the school building starting the first day of school. Work with your kids to find a spot on the playground or front of the school to meet up after 3:30.
We want you to feel comfortable at Bohach. If you need help or if your experience is not excellent, please let us know. We have three sacred promises at Bohach: we will keep your child safe, we will love them and we will make sure they learn. Like always, if you feel that we are not achieving these goals for you or your child, please reach out to us!!! Our office is available daily until 4:00. If you need anything please reach out. I am readily accessible by email and will follow up within 24 hours (usually sooner). My email is hgavrilles@washoeschools.net
Heidi Gavrilles, Bohach Principal
