News and Notes for Brandon High School for the Week of August 21, 2017
 
Welcome Back Letter:  Please see my attached official Welcome Back Letter for all parents.  I can hardly wait to get the 2017 – 2018 school year rolling.
 
Registration:  Registration for all high school students is this week!  It will take place on August 22nd for 10th and 12th grade students and on August 23rd for all 9th and 11th grade students.  At registration you will be able to receive your class schedule, get your locker assigned to you, purchase parking permits, get your yearbook picture taken, and buy this year’s yearbook at the lowest price.  Both days will run from 8:00 – 11:00 and from 12:00 – 3:00.  Call the main office if you have any questions.
 
Important Registration News:  All paperwork for registration will take place through the Parent Portal this school year for all students.  See the attached directions to walk you through the process.  Your student will not be allowed to get their schedule or purchase a parking permit until this is completed.  Please call Sue Duggan at 248-627-1866 if you have any questions, or need your login name and password. 
 
Homecoming:  Homecoming tickets and shirts will be on sale at a reduced price for all students that would like to purchase them during our registration days.  $20.00 gets you both a shirt and a ticket.  Hurry before we run out!
 
Fines:  Do you have book fines or past money due to Brandon High School or the Athletic Department?  If so, you will not be allowed to pick up your schedule or purchase a parking permit until this is taken care of.  Call the main high school office if you have any questions.
 
Juniors:  Once again this year Brandon High School will be administering the NMSQT / PSAT test for all Juniors on October 11th.  This test is not mandatory, but highly suggested.  Please see the attached letter and sign up form for more information.  The deadline to sign up is September 14th.
 
Advanced Placement Classes:  A reminder to all students that signed up to take Advanced Placement classes to make sure that they are completing their summer homework.  In most cases, we will not be allowing students to transfer out of these classes. 
 
Yearbooks:  Please see the three attachments concerning yearbook purchases and senior picture information.  If you have any questions about this year’s yearbook, please contact Kristen Kelsey at kkelsey@brandon.k12.mi.us.
 
Medications:  Please be aware that any and all medications (including over the counter medications such as Tylenol, Advil, etc.) must be kept in the main Brandon High School Office at all times during the school year.  If you have medication that your student may be taking while at school, please fill out the attached form and bring it into BHS with their medication. 
 
Parent Workshop:  Oakland Family Services will be offering a Parent Workshop open to all parents for free on three separate dates.  Please see the attached flyer for more details.
