I would like to personally welcome you to another great year at Brandon High School where meeting the educational needs of all students is our number one priority!  I am looking forward to a great year.  Please check your email weekly for this News and Notes update to receive current information regarding your student’s education. 
 
9th Grade Orientation:  Orientation for all 9th grade students will be this week, Tuesday, August 30th from 8:00 – 12:00.  Our amazing Link Crew cannot wait to meet you!  Please wear comfortable clothing and be ready for an exciting day!
 
Attendance:  The fewer absences your student has, the more successful they will be in school.  Please make sure that you are attempting to make all appointments, vacations, and other various activities around the school schedule.  However, in those times where your student is absent, please make sure that you are calling our attendance line to excuse them.  This line can be reached 24 hours a day at 248-627-1825.
 
Arriving at BHS:  Please take weather, heavy traffic, and other variables into consideration when dropping your student off at BHS in the morning.  Students are expected to be in their seats ready for class at 7:25 am each morning. 
 
Medications:  If your student will be taking any form of medication during the daytime at BHS, please make sure that you come in and fill out the proper forms as well as give us the medication that is to be administered.  These forms must be updated yearly.  Please be advised that no medications (including Tylenol, Ibuprofen, etc…) are allowed to be in the student’s possession at any time.
