News and Notes for Brandon High School for the Week of November 23, 2020
 
 
Back to All Virtual:  As you know, we are back to all virtual classes through at least December 8th.  We will keep you updated on this with constant communication between now and then.  In the meantime your student should plan on attending all classes virtually according to the days and times below and on the attached calendars.
 
It is imperative that your students log on to these classes, complete all assigned homework, and be in constant contact with their teachers if they are in need of extra help or have questions.  These classes will continue to be graded with letter grades, so these few weeks learning virtually could make or break their semester. 
 
In an extenuating circumstance where your student can not make their classes, please make sure to call the attendance hotline to let us know at 248-627-1825.
 
If your student is in need of additional help, tutoring, or other academic support please get a hold of our Academic Coordinator Derek Mohamedally, who would love to be of help.   He can be reached at dmohamedally@brandon.k12.mi.us.  For all technology or internet related issues, please contact our technology department at help@brandon.k12.mi.us or by calling them at 248-627-1800 (ext. 1036).
