SAT PREP COURSES WILL BE OFFERED
SAT PREP English and Math will be offered as a full year pass/fail elective credit during period 4 this year. These classes will better prepare our students for the SAT which is the state of Maine educational assessment and very important for college acceptance. Mrs. Pelletier is teaching the English class and Mr. Cowing will teach the math class. We are very excited to offer these classes during the school day, we did offer the two last year after school and our numbers were very low.
FALL OPEN HOUSE
We will have a Fall Open House this year instead of our customary spring Open House. We feel it is important that parents/guardians have a chance to meet their child's teachers and know expectations before we get too far into the school year. Parents/guardians will go through a modified version of their child's schedule so you can meet the teachers and as questions you may have. The open house is on Wednesday September 21st from 6pm-8pm.
FRESHMAN DINNER
Our annual freshman dinner will be on Wednesday September 21st at 5:00pm in the BHS gymnasium. This is a good time for parents/guardians to get to know your child's teachers and we can answer any questions you may have.
DAY 1 CELEBRATION
BHS is going to celebrate the beginning of the school year on September 7th with many educational and fun activities. Students should dress to be outside and in casual clothing so they can enjoy the events.
POSITIVE BEHAVIOR INTERVENTION SYSTEM
Our new Assistant Principal/Athletic Director Mr. Hatch is introducing a new behavior program. The philosophy of the program is to reward good behavior and to encourage students to make good decisions. We hope this new program will limit class/school interruptions so students will be in a learning environment at all times.
Thank you for all the updates!
