There will be a Parent Only Information night for rising 6th grade parents on Wednesday, May 16th, at 7 PM in Bull Run’s cafeteria. If you have a current 5th grader that will be attending Bull Run next year please plan on attending!
Rising 6th grade students from Mountain View Elementary School will be visiting Bull Run on the morning of June 11th as a school field trip. Students will have an opportunity to tour the building, check out lockers, and hear from our Principal and other staff members.
Math SOL Testing
Hello Parents! As a reminder, we have begun our SOL testing today and these tests will continue through June 1. We kindly ask that you assist us in keeping the building as quiet as possible when visiting during the testing window. When your child is scheduled for a test, please ensure that they go to bed early the night before and that they have a hearty, healthy breakfast that morning. I know that all students are going to do wonderfully!
I would also like to alert you to some information that we received from the Virginia Department of Education. The Math Standards of Learning (SOL) tests this year are going to be more rigorous than in the past and will require that our students be able to use some new computer tools while taking the tests. Please click the following link to go to the VDOE website which has more information regarding the Math SOL tests. -Ms. Barton
Summer Cheer Camp
Whether you are new to cheerleading or looking to improve your skills, this is the cheer camp for you! Cheerleaders will be grouped by age and skill level so that each girl will have the best possible experience! Don’t miss this fun and rewarding camp with the BDHS Tiger Cheerleaders!!

Lost & Found
Please remember to label all lunchboxes, sweatshirts, and coats. All "lost" items will be discarded/donated on June 8th. Lost & Found is located in the back of the Cafeteria.
Attention Fifth Grade Parents
According to the Prince William County Schools’ regulation 755 1, all students entering the 6th grade must have a Tdap booster before entering middle school in September. This requirement applies to all students that are 11years old and if at least five years have passed since receiving the last dose of tetanus containing vaccine. Please do not wait until next summer. If your child has already turned 11, please bring him or her to receive the Tdap booster. If your child has already received the booster, please send Mrs. Swingle, our nurse, a copy of the record so it can be added to your child’s file. Please be advised that students will not be allowed to enter middle school without documentation of this immunization.
Box Tops Competition
The class that brings in the most Box Tops wins SMENCILS for their entire class!
The final Box Tops Competition for the school year begins today and ends on May 25th. Box Tops are a great way to earn free money for the school by simply clipping and saving Box Tops from products you usually purchase. Please click here for more information.
