As graduation quickly approaches, we are preparing to celebrate the incredible accomplishments of our senior class. One of the most symbolic moments of this milestone is seeing our students proudly walk across the stage in their caps and gowns.

The Class of 2025 is busy raising money to cover the cost of caps and gowns for the entire senior class as well as the cost of their Senior Prom. The BHSPA would like to help the senior class reach their goals and make their graduation memorable.

We are seeking monetary donations to help the Class of 2025 cover the cost of caps and gowns for their graduation.

If you would like to donate, please do so by:

• Venmo: @BedfordHighSchool-ParentsAssoc
• Credit card: https://www.bedfordpco.org/packet/55961335
• Check: Make check payable to BHSPA and drop off at BHS front office or mail to Bedford High School, 9 Mudge Way, Bedford, MA 01730

If you have any questions, please email the BHSPA at BHSBucsparents@gmail.com.

Thank you for being such a vital part of our school community and for supporting our students during this exciting time.

We are excited to announce the upcoming SEPAC College Night on May 5th from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, designed specifically for families of students with IEPs and 504 plans. This event will provide a valuable opportunity for families to engage directly with colleges and learn about the services they offer to support students with learning differences.

We are pleased to confirm the participation of several colleges for this informative evening, where representatives will address important questions regarding how colleges assist students with learning differences during the transition from high school to higher education. Families will have the chance to ask colleges about available support services and resources. The following schools have confirmed their attendance:

• Bridgewater State University
• Curry College
• Dean College
• Johnson and Wales University
• Mass Bay Community College
• Merrimack College
• Middlesex Community College
• New England Institute of Technology
• University of Massachusetts, Lowell
• University of Southern New Hampshire
• Westfield State University
• Worcester State University

In addition to the confirmed colleges, we are hopeful that several other schools will join us for this important event, ensuring a diverse range of options and insights for attendees.

To help us prepare, we invite all attendees to submit any questions or concerns they have about the college transition process. These will be compiled into a document for the participating colleges, enabling them to better address the needs of our families. A second document will also be created, providing families with a guide of questions to ask about accessing support services.

We look forward to seeing you there! For additional information or to submit your questions in advance, please send them to louise_damato@bedfordps.org.

Math: May 20-21 (late arrival for non-test takers)

As most of you know, spring allergy season is upon us and I wanted to remind you to be proactive about your children's allergies. Please have them take their prescribed allergy medication before school, so they will be comfortable for the duration of the school day. Depending on the severity of the pollen allergy, those with seasonal allergies can feel pretty miserable and allergy symptoms can have a significant impact on learning. Please reach out to me if you have any questions.

Thank you.
