News and Notes for Brandon High School for the Week of August 26, 2019
Welcome Back: Please see the official Welcome Back Letter that is attached for information about the upcoming 2019 – 2020 school year. Student Schedules: If you missed registration, you will be able to access your student’s schedule through the parent and student portal starting Monday, August 26th. If you have a scheduling change request, please make sure that your student fills out the schedule request form in the Counseling Office. Please be patient with our counselors as they make these adjustments. Seminar: The big buzz this year is about our our newly developed seminar class that all students will have on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please see the attached seminar information that will give you more information about this class and what your students will be doing during this time. Freshmen: The first day of school will be freshmen orientation led by our teachers and Link Crew students. All 9th graders will be able to go on a tour of the building, find their classes and lockers, and get many other pieces of information that will help them to be successful. The only thing they will need on this day is a pen or pencil. College and Career Readiness Presentation: Parents of the Class of 2020! Please consider joining us after you complete Back to School Curriculum Night for the Parent College and Career Presentation. This final year marks the end of your student’s high school career and we want them to be ready for their futures! Last year we began discussions with your students about plotting their individual paths forward. Now we lock onto those plans and help them take real steps toward their goals - whether that is learning how to fill out college applications and scholarships, exploring the military, or finding an apprenticeship for one of the great trades programs. We’d like for you to receive all the same info as your students so you can guide them along. The event will begin at 6:15 PM (September 10, 2019) in the PAC. Juniors: We are once again offering the NMSQT / PSAT test on October 16th to all Juniors. This test is highly recommended as it is a great way to prepare for the SAT in April, and is used to identify Merit Scholars throughout the state in which scholarship money can be obtained. The cost is $20.00. Please make sure that you turn in the attached form with payment to the Counseling Office by September 13th. Medications: Does your student have any medications (including over the counter) that they will need to take during the school day? If so, please bring the medication into Brandon High School and fill out the form that allows for us to administer it during the school day. It is against BHS policy for students to be taking or possessing any medications on their own during the school day. Thank you for your cooperation with this. Upcoming Events to Place on Your Calendar Now: September 3rd – 1st Day of School September 10th – Back to School Night (See Flyer) September 10th – College and Career Readiness Presentation September 27th – ½ Day of School October 2nd – Official School Count Day October 5th – Homecoming Dance October 7th – Picture Retakes October 8th & 9th – Parent Teacher Conferences October 11th – No School October 16th – NMSQT / PSAT testing for Juniors October 24th – FAFSA Parent Workshop October 31st – ½ Day of School November 1st – End of 1st Marking Period Have a Great Day and GO BLACKHAWKS!
