COVID Update:  We are proud of the fact that Brandon High School has not had to shut down their face-to-face learning as other districts in the area have had to.  This is a tribute to our students, parents, and community for being safe and following all safety precautions.  So that we can keep our school safe and enact all protocols, please let Principal Dan Stevens know if any of your family members become symptomatic, or test positive for COVID over Spring Break.  Mr. Stevens can be reached at dstevens@brandon.k12.mi.us.
 
Graduation Update:  As of right now, graduation this year will take place on June 6th at 2:00 on the Brandon Football Field.  Please stay tuned for details including how many guests each graduate will be able to invite.  We are awaiting more clarity from the Governor’s Office on what we can and cannot do on graduation day. 
 
Upcoming Testing Schedule:  April is the month that we proctor all of the state and federal mandated standardized testing.  These tests are mandated, so please make sure that your students are in attendance on the days below.  This testing is both for Brandon Learn From Home students as well as those attending face-to-face. 
 
Tuesday, April 13th -  All freshmen and juniors will attend school on this day for PSAT 9 and SAT 11 testing.  Sophomores and seniors will do asynchronous learning from home on this day. The day will start at its normal time (7:20) and release when testing completes around 11:30 for freshmen and around 12:30 for juniors. Students are free to drive home, or get picked up once testing is complete.  If students are in need of bussing, they can stay at BHS until the regular release time of 1:50 and ride the bus home with middle school students.
 
Wednesday, April 14th – All sophomores and juniors will attend school on this day for PSAT 10 and Work Keys 11 testing.  Freshmen and seniors will do asynchronous learning from home on this day.  The day will start at its normal time (7:20) and release when testing completes around 11:30 for both groups of students.
