Please see below for important information regarding testing. The buses run at the typical AM and PM times before and after school on April 15th, 16th, 21st, and 23rd. Students can ride the bus on testing days and wait in the cafeteria until their classes start, or they may show up when their classes begin.

Please note the End of Course Exam schedule as shown above for students. Please also notice that not every mod will take place each day. The mods do not run in consecutive order so as to accommodate the Polaris students' schedule. Please be aware Tuesday, April 28th, unless your student is taking the Biology exam, NO other students should be in the building.

ONLY STUDENTS TESTING SHOULD BE IN THE BUILDING DURING SCHEDULED TESTING TIMES on the 28th. Please look at the exam testing chart above for further clarification. Reminder: Polaris Students, on the days of End of Course Exams, buses for Polaris will run as normally scheduled.

If a student does not have an EOC test, they do not need to be at BMHS during testing. However, if they are taking their normal bus for transportation purposes, students should report to the 1A Cafeteria and remain there. Students are not permitted to walk through the building while tests are being administered.

Polaris Hosts Berea City Schools

Earlier this week, Polaris was proud to host the Berea City School District’s Deeper Learning Summit! Our district leadership experienced behind-the-scenes tours of Polaris and heard from a panel of our AMAZING students as they brought the Portrait of a Titan to life - demonstrating what it means to be Adaptable, Communicators, Critical Thinkers, Empathetic, Innovative, and Leaders.

And as expected…our students SHINED! Thank you to BCSD for the partnership and for allowing us to showcase the incredible talent, voice, and future of these outstanding young people. #PartnershipsMatter #StudentPanel #PolarisMeansJobs

From the Yellow Brick Road to the @titans_studio_ morning announcements, our Wizard of Oz cast is leading the way!
