Back to School Night:  We would like to invite all of our BHS families to come and have free hamburgers and hotdogs with us at our upcoming Back to School Night which will be held on September 10th starting at 5:00 pm.  Come and meet our teachers, learn about your student’s classes, and enjoy a free dinner for the whole family.  See the attached flyer for more details.
 
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.
 
Homework Club / Tutoring:  We are excited to announce that Monday – Thursday for the upcoming school year that we will be offering tutoring and homework help after school from 2:30 – 3:30 in room #103.  Please urge your student to take advantage of this resource.  See the attached flyer for more details.
