Happy Friday!


Dear Community,

One full week down.  Things could not be better.  Well, actually they could. They always could.  Nonetheless, I am thoroughly impressed with the way your sons and daughters and the professionals here have ushered in the new school year.  Most of our fall athletic teams have already had at least one contest. Clubs are beginning to reconnect and organize for the school year.   Further, today is the first of many school spirit days.  I love seeing all the orange and black around campus. The big bus Brighton High is rolling forward!

Next week is a busy one.  Among many other things, 9th graders will in engage in predictive assessments.  This process allows us to determine students’ strengths as well as the areas in which they need improvement.   Further, the staff will have its first academic case management meetings.  These are meetings wherein teachers of the same grade level come together share ideas about how to help individual students succeed.  I share these two features with you to underscore just some of the efforts in which we engage to help our learners grow.  This is a partnered effort.  I welcome you to contact your student’s teacher if you have any particular questions or concerns.

Mark you calendars, the first Brighton High “Back to School Night” is on October 17th from 5-7pm.

Have a great weekend!

Best,
Dr. T
