Happy Friday!

Dear Community,

I am writing on this fine fall Friday (say that three times quickly) feeling energized and inspired.  We are fresh off off a strong week, rich with ideas and enthusiasm.  We had a wonderfully positive School Site Council meeting last night during which our student leaders presented some genuine insight into the day-to-day experience for students as well as some solid ideas around parent events.  More to come there.  School Site Council meetings are open to the public.  Please see the calendar on the BHS website for upcoming meetings - the next is Dec. 7th at 4:30pm.

Today marks the end of the first grading quarter.   We plan to mail the first quarter report cards home the week of 11/19.  No need to wait for the mail.  You may view your student's performance on the student information system.  You can also view other information involving attendance and discipline.  Follow this link for information signing up.

Lastly, we're going to Harvard!  58 deserving freshman will visit Harvard University next Friday. They will tour the campus, visit the natural history museum, and eat lunch in the dining hall with current Harvard freshman.  This is all part our partnership with Harvard and a program called Project TEACH.  Kudos to our young scholars!

Enjoy the long weekend!  Happy Veterans' Day!

Best,
Pat

P.S.  Tomorrow is the deadline to sign up for the December SAT.  A final reminder.
