BPHS Parking Pass Information
BPHS Parking Pass Information (click link to pay online)
Beginning next week, we will begin placing stickers on vehicles belonging to students who have not purchased a parking pass.
If you plan to drive to school, please make sure you have purchased a valid parking pass. Students should also ensure that any outstanding class dues or debts are paid.
We have provided multiple reminders and warnings to students who are parking on campus without a pass. Moving forward, vehicles that continue to park on campus without a valid parking pass after receiving multiple warnings may be subject to booting or towing in accordance with school parking procedures.
Questions regarding outstanding dues may be directed to:
Mr. Booth
Counseling
Seniors! Did you know that Brooke Point is lucky to have the services of Cherice Taylor, a Germanna College and Career Advisor? Ms. Taylor works out of the Counseling office and meets with students who need assistance with navigating the postsecondary world, figuring out how to connect their interests to a career, and even registering for classes with Germanna for Fall 2027 (spring time-frame). Check out her AUGUST tips and SEPTEMBER tips!
Wellness Room:
The WELLNESS ROOM will be open starting Monday, August 31!
Here is the procedure for students:
- Students will request to go to Wellness Room through their teacher
- Teacher will write a pass to Counseling
- Student will sign into Counseling
- Student will be escorted to Wellness Room by counselor
- Student will be sent back to class by counselor via written pass
On Mondays, we will have MINDFUL MONDAYS. Counselors will be supervising the room in all blocks already. Once students sign into Counseling, they will get a colored Wellness Room pass from Ms. Wynne and walk down to the room. Students, come check it out!
SchooLinks:
Seniors! Some of you have already looked at SchooLinks last spring via Counseling classroom lessons, but we wanted to share this college application guide as some of you are already preparing your college application lists.
SchooLinks is how we send transcripts and letters of recommendation, so it's going to be imperative to use it in conjunction with Common App/Black Common App/Coalition/other college application platforms for those of you applying to college! (PSA we won't be sending transcripts to colleges until mid-September -- they will not be ready until this date).
SchooLinks isn't just for colleges -- you can look up careers, including those in the military, as well as watch videos from real professionals in specific fields.
Counselors will begin meeting with seniors individually in September to review graduation requirements, post-secondary plans, and answer any questions you have :) We'll also be in classrooms earlier in September to give an overview of procedures.
To log into SchooLinks: log into Clever --> scroll down under “More Apps” --> click on SchoolLinks.
Prepare for 3E Day!
Stafford County Public Schools is excited to announce our 2nd Annual 3E Day on October 13, 2026!

AP Testing Information
AP Classroom Reminders
By now, all students enrolled in an AP course should be registered in their AP Classroom using the join code provided by their teacher. Being registered gives students access to AP Classroom resources and helps make sure they are included in the AP Exam registration process.
If you are having trouble logging in to your College Board account or joining your AP Classroom, please reach out to Mrs. Papas, AP Coordinator, at papasab@staffordschools.net. She will be happy to help
