In-Person Cohorts will attend school 4 days a week!

Beginning Monday, April 26, Bellflower Middle/High School will be going to 1 cohort of in-person learning for the remainder of the school year. This means that students will receive in-person instruction 4 days a week, with all students on distance learning on Wednesdays. Originally two cohorts were created, but due to the small numbers in the individual cohorts, we can combine them and still be at or under the maximum capacity of each classroom. The additional in-person seat time will be beneficial for our students.

If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Lundgren by sending an email to bhsprincipal@busd.k12.ca.us or by calling the office at 562-920-1801.
