Good morning Bengals-
I hope you're all enjoying a restful weekend.  As we head into October, it is crucial that we support all students to meet our expectations around school rules.  Every member of this community is critical, and the more consistency we can find in our messaging, the more we'll accomplish for our students. Consistency is crucial, and your voice can help to shape who we are as a school community.   
  • This week the BHS School Site Council will meet for the first time this year on Thursday, October 1 from 4:30-5:30 in the Library.   
What is the School Site Council?

The School Site Council is the governing/advisory body at each school. The School Site Council is comprised of parents and staff. Parents on the School Site Council are accountable to the School Parent Council and are elected by the School Parent Council of the school.

What does the School Site Council do?

The School Site Council reviews and approves school policy, including such initiatives as parent engagement, hiring, reviewing the Whole School Improvement Plan and reporting back to the School Parent Council and the larger parent body on a regular basis.

What do the School Site Council Representatives do?

The School Site Council Representatives review and approve school policy, fully participate in School Site Council meetings, represent the School Parent Council and report back to the School Parent Council executive committee.  We are actively seeking parents to serve on our SSC.  Please attend this Thursday's meeting for more information.

  • Please continue to encourage students to bring in their one-time $5 Student Activity fee, which enables then to participate fully in extracurricular offerings such as field trips, Six Flags and school dances as well as athletics.

BHS Pic of the Week:
Our own Dan Cuddy recruited about 20 awesome BHS student activists to volunteer at the Brighton Congregational Church last Wednesday to unload food donations for their community pantry.  Thank you to Mr. Cuddy and all our volunteers for your generosity of spirit and your commitment to community!
