The Boogeyman Exists
Author Jessie Weinberger asks, “Do you know how to keep your children safe in a 24-7, always connected digital society?” If the answer is no, please join us. As your children travel through the digital world they may be exposed to cyberbullying, sexting, sexual predation and illegal substances. The discussion about digital safety needs to begin the very first time your child uses a tablet or smartphone with a parent or guardian sitting right next to them.

After School Pickup
Parents picking up after school:
Due to bus congestion, we ask parents to arrive after 3:15 p.m. DO NOT STOP on Cooke Road. We are experiencing traffic jams due to too many cars backing up in both directions. If you arrive and cannot make the turn onto Foster Street, please circle the block and come back or wait until 3:15 p.m. Cooke Road is a no-stopping zone in the City of Columbus.
Do not park or stop on the east side of Foster, in front of the neighbors’ homes
.
Cars who stop on this side, regardless of whether they are blocking a driveway or not, will most definitely be in the way for north-bound drivers on Foster.
If you are picking your child up after an activity and are waiting in line at the south entrance, please pull forward against the curb or park in the lot.
In addition, the City of Columbus has made Cooke Road in front of the BWHS main entrance a no-stopping zone.
