It was great seeing a number of you at parent-teacher conferences on Thursday, but if you didn't have a chance to attend Thursday, there is still a chance to connect with teachers virtually on Tuesday, October 27th.

We will once again be using PTC Fast to allow parents to sign up for times for parent teacher conferences. The sign up for parent teacher conferences can be found here and you do need to sign up in advance.

• You may notice one of your student’s teachers has an alternative schedule for conferences due to extenuating circumstances. Please contact them directly via email with any questions or clarifications.

Simply check the boxes for the teachers you would like to set up conferences with and you will receive an email with the times they are available for conferences. If you select a virtual conference, the teacher will send you an email directly with the link to the virtual conference session on the 27th.

Dear BAS families, staff, and guests,

Action Required by October 30th!

Attention AP Students and Families! We are now entering Step Two of the AP Registration Process, and ALL students enrolled in AP courses must take action before October 30th.

Earlier this fall, students were required to join AP Classroom for each AP course by October 2nd. This step was mandatory for ALL AP students, regardless of whether they planned to take the AP Exam in May.

We are now moving on to the next step: confirming AP Exam participation and submitting payment.

IMPORTANT: Due to a system glitch earlier this year, ALL students who joined AP Classroom were automatically registered to take their corresponding AP Exams in May. We recognize that not every student intends to test. Therefore, ALL AP students must verify their exam registration status for EACH AP course before October 30th.

STEP 1: VERIFY YOUR AP EXAM STATUS

Students must log in to AP Classroom and confirm whether they WILL or WILL NOT take the AP Exam in May.

1. Log in to AP Classroom.

2. Review EACH AP subject individually to verify your current exam registration status.

3. If your status is incorrect, click "Change Status."

4. A pop-up window will appear allowing you to select whether you WILL or WILL NOT take the exam.

5. Make your selection and click "Confirm."

Remember: Students enrolled in multiple AP courses must verify their exam status separately for EACH course. Do not assume your current registration status is correct!

STEP 2: PAY FOR YOUR AP EXAMS (IF TESTING)

If your student plans to take an AP Exam in May, payment must be completed through Parent Connect. Each AP Exam costs $100, unless there is a demonstrated financial need verified through the Food Service Department. AP Exam payments are NOW OPEN! Families do not need to wait until October 30th to submit payment.

To pay:

1. Log in to your Parent Connect account.

2. Click on the Accounts/SBA tab.

3. Select Online SBA Payments (highlighted in yellow).

4. Select your student from the first drop-down menu.

5. Add each AP Exam your student plans to take in May to your cart and complete checkout.

DEADLINE: OCTOBER 30TH

All AP students must verify their exam registration status, and families of students who plan to test must complete payment before October 30th. We appreciate your attention to these important steps to ensure that students are accurately registered for their May AP Exams.

For questions about AP registration, payment, or financial assistance, please contact Jennifer Napuli, AP Coordinator, at napulij@brightonk12.com.

Each year, the Counseling Department puts together a Tutor List to help our BHS students who may be struggling with their academic course work.

The individuals on this tutoring list have reached out and asked to be included as a resource for our BHS students and their families. Qualifications have been self-reported and it is up to the student/family to find the tutor that makes the most sense for them, arrange any meetings, and manage any necessary payments independent of the school.

A copy of the Tutor List for the 2026-27 school year can be found here.

You will note on the BHS Tutor List, there is also information about free peer tutoring that takes place two days a week each week (Tuesdays and Wednesdays). Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have at this point in time.

Attention Seniors! If you need help with your college applications, Mrs. Caverly is hosting a College App Help Session on Wednesday, 10/28 during Advisory in the Collab Lab (D32/34). Stop by during your lunch and come prepared to ask your college app questions!

The 2026–27 Michigan Public Universities Guide to Admissions is now available and is a valuable resource for students and families navigating the college search and application process! This comprehensive guide provides an easy way to compare Michigan's 15 public universities, including admissions requirements, average GPAs and test scores, tuition and housing costs, scholarship opportunities, application deadlines, and campus visit information. Whether your student is actively applying to colleges or just beginning to explore their options, we encourage families to review this resource together and begin conversations about finding the right fit for their future.

October is Michigan College Month, and it is a great time for seniors to submit college applications! Many Michigan colleges and universities do not charge an application fee, while several others are waiving their fees for all or part of October. The attached resource includes participating schools, waiver dates, and any required application codes, including opportunities at CMU, EMU, MSU, Wayne State, and others.

Michigan College Month 2026 Fee Waivers Document

Families of college-bound seniors are encouraged to review the list and take advantage of these opportunities to apply while fees are waived!

October is College and Career Month at BHS! This is a great opportunity to let our students know about many of the options that will be available to them after completing their high school experience at BHS. We will also have a number of different things going on over the course of the month. A copy of the College Month Initiatives Calendar can be found here.

As always, we will work with you/your student if there are extenuating circumstances, but our goal is to have students in front of their teachers as much as possible as we know it increases the likelihood of their success. The full BHS Attendance Policy is outlined below:

Absences:

Each semester, students will be allowed 9 absences. When the absence is excused, the student will be able to make up missed work/assignments/tests without penalty. If the absence is unexcused, the student will not be able to make up missed work/assignments/tests. Once a student reaches 10 absences (excused or unexcused), he/she may enter into a “loss of credit” status. The student will continue to attend class and work towards academic success. If there are no additional absences, the “loss of credit” status may revert back into course credit with the earned grade. In cases of continued but limited excused absences, the student will have the opportunity to appeal the “loss of credit” status, presenting evidence of extenuating circumstances, and possibly have credit reinstated to their grade level principal.

Please note: Excused absences that WILL NOT count in the (9) day limitation are those for documented medical and court appointments, religious observances, funerals, and those for school business and suspensions.

Per Board Policy 5301, the Building Principal or designee may impose additional consequences for excessive absenteeism, consistent with the student handbook or published grading procedures.

Absentee reports will be run by Administration at progress reports and marking periods throughout the school year. Based on those reports, the following will take place.

*Note: 10 or more absences per semester, student enters a loss of credit status (NC). Every 5 tardies = 1 absence.

** Appeal process goes to the Grade Level Principal for potential credit reinstatement.

Tardies:

Students are allowed 3 tardies per semester without a disciplinary referral. Once a student hits the 4th tardy, they will be sent to their Grade Level Principal for a student conference. The next offense will result in making up time during an after school detention. Multiple offenses will escalate the student discipline. A parent phone call does NOT excuse a tardy.

Career Chats give students the opportunity during Advisory to explore different career pathways and hear directly from professionals about their careers, experiences, and advice. These conversations provide students with a chance to learn about a variety of careers and begin thinking about possible pathways for their future.

Please see the Career Chat Calendar 26-27 for scheduled presenters. We are still looking for additional professionals who would be willing to share their career journey with our students. If you know someone who may be interested, please share the opportunity and have them sign up here.

Thank you for your continued support in encouraging students to attend Career Chats and take advantage of these valuable learning opportunities!

For more information, please contact Tanya Clark at clarkt@brightonk12.com.

On Wednesday, October 28th, we will host our next Career Chat in the STEAM Center during Advisory. Maarla Milligan will be at BHS for the U.S. Department of Labor's Veteran Employment Training Service (VETS) to share more information about the military, public service, and government and workforce development. Please share this information with your students and encourage any students who may be interested to attend Wednesday's presentation!

We are excited to announce that we will be celebrating the hard work and academic achievements of our students at the upcoming Academic Letter Lunch! This special event honors students who have demonstrated consistent academic excellence by earning a 3.5 GPA or higher for two consecutive semesters.

Date: Friday, November 6, 2026

Time: During All Lunches (10:42am - 12:15 pm)

Location: BHS Media Center (you must sign in at the Main Office)

During this event, we will recognize these outstanding students for their dedication to their studies by providing them with certificates and lunch. Students should have received their Academic Letters at Registration, a symbol of their achievement and commitment to excellence. We look forward to sharing this proud moment with you and honoring the accomplishments of our students.

*If you did not receive an invitation to this event via email and believe your student met the eligibility criteria, please reach out via email ASAP so that we can ensure an invitation is sent if they successfully met the eligibility criteria.*

If you are interested in getting involved in the BHS PTO or any of their projects throughout the year, meeting information is provided below. You can also contact any of the PTO Officers for more information on all things BHS PTO! The 2026-27 PTO Officers are provided below:

Time: 5:30 pm

Location: Brighton High School Media Center

An informational flyer can be found here.

Brighton High School is collaborating with the University of Michigan-Flint to offer high school students expanded dual enrollment opportunities. The Dual Enrollment Educational Partnerships (DEEP) initiative offers juniors and seniors from partner school districts the opportunity to earn college credit through specially designed, cohort-based programs. These DEEP programs are conveniently scheduled as part of students’ regular high school day and are taught by UM-Flint faculty at local high schools, on the UM-Flint campus, or synchronously online. Most students enroll in two courses each semester - two in the fall and two in the winter - allowing them to earn 12+ college credits in a single academic year.

Students from Brighton High School take courses at the Hartland Educational Support Service Center

(HESSC).

On Wednesday, we held our Fall Senior Meeting to go over a number of items that are important for our Seniors to hear about between now and the end of the year. The slideshow for the meeting with relevant information can be found here.

*Additional items of note:

• On Wednesday following the meeting, students received their cap and gown ordering information packets. Orders can be place in-person (Herff Jones will be on site taking orders on Thursday and Friday of this week), over the phone, or online (website included in slideshow and on cap and gown packet envelope). If they did not grab a packet or their packet did not make its way home, they can pick one up in the Main Office.
• Following the meeting and class picture, students should have also picked up their Senior Class Gifts. If they did not do so for any reason, they can pick up their gift from Mrs. Lundy in Room D47 outside of class time.

Dear Class of 2027 Seniors, Parents, and Guardians,

As you navigate senior year and continue planning for life after BHS, I wanted to share some important information to help you stay organized and on track.

This Class of 2027 Fall Senior Info guide includes important information and reminders related to senior-year deadlines and action steps, college applications and admissions, FAFSA and financial aid, career and technical education opportunities, and other resources to help with planning for life after high school.

Please know that Mr. Evans and I are here to support the the Class of 2027 as you prepare for whatever comes next!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Caverly
Class of 2027 Counselor

Each year we release a Senior Information Sheet highlighting a number of important items that pertain to members of our Senior Class. It highlights important contacts, dates, social media accounts to follow, etc. This year's Senior Information Sheet can be found here.

We also have a Calendar of Events for Seniors that highlights all of the events that you/they will want to add to their calendars so that they don't miss anything throughout the year.

As always, please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

Hello Class of 2027 Students, Parents, and Guardians,

It was a pleasure to see so many of you at the Future Senior Parent Night in the spring. To ensure that everyone has access to the information shared, we’ve included a voiceover slide show and a PDF of the slideshow, as well as some other important information.

Additionally, all Class of 2027 Seniors should have heard the voiceover slide show in their English class at some point over the last two weeks of school.

Below are some important links for Senior year:

Voiceover Slide Show

PDF Slide Show (with active links)

Parchment (transcripts if not using Common App)

Common App

Senior Questionnaire (only needed if letters of recommendation are required)

We know this time can be exciting and nerve-racking. Please know that we are here to help! Mrs. Caverly will be in the office at the beginning of August and Mr. Evans will be in the office throughout the summer.

We are excited to navigate Senior year with all of you!

Feel free to reach out with any questions.

All the Best,

Jennifer Caverly (caverlyj@brightonk12.com) and Matt Evans (evansm@brightonk12.com)

Seniors at BHS typically submit a senior portrait for the yearbook in lieu of their ID photo. Portraits must be submitted to the yearbook no later than November 20 through our photo-sharing site at https://www.yearbooknerds.com/brighton-high-school. Guidelines for portraits are posted on the site (and also provided here). Parents who wish to order a yearbook or purchase a recognition ad for their senior may do so at the same site and can get a reduced price if they order early! The early deadline for senior recognition ads is November 30.

Seniors may opt to sign up for a Portraits by Alex session at the high school for a $50 fee. This session will include a portrait for submission to the yearbook only; digital images may be purchased for an additional fee directly from the photographer. Sessions are offered November 11-12 and may be reserved at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0A45A4AA2AAAF94-63978728-class on a first-come, first-served basis.

As noted above, Portraits By Alex will be at BHS on November 11th and November 12th taking senior headshots for the yearbook. If you are interested in having your students take advantage of this opportunity, they must sign up in advance. The sign up list is provided here.

A few important things to note:

• Payment will need to be made the day of, directly to Portraits By Alex. Payments can be made via cash or check (made payable to Portraits By Alex).
• The $50 fee is a sitting fee that covers the image that is submitted directly to the BHS Yearbook Staff.
• If you would like a digital copy of the image that is taken, you have the ability to purchase it for an additional $100 (the fee will be $150 total). The additional $100 fee can be paid at the same time as the baseline $50 if you choose to take advantage of this option.

The 2027-28 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form is available now at fafsa.gov. Most students can complete the form and see their results in 15 minutes or less! We will be holding a FAFSA Night later this fall with a financial aid representative available to help with the completion of any necessary paperwork.

Additionally, the following resources are available to assist students and families in completing the FAFSA:

• How to Create a StudentAid.gov Account Guide: This step-by-step guide is easy to print and share.
• 2027-28 Preview Presentation: This guide to completing the new online FAFSA form will familiarize you with what’s new and common user scenarios. The presentation can be used as provided at a FAFSA completion event or modified as needed.

If you need any assistance filling out the FAFSA this year, we will have our annual FAFSA Family Help Night on November 11th at 6 pm in the BHS Media Center. We will have an individual from a university financial aid office present to assist our families in hopes that they will be able to leave that night with their FAFSA completed.

If interested, please make sure you register by October 26th. If we do not meet the minimum required number of registrations by that point in time, the session will become a virtual one.

Ticket Sales: the earlier you purchase your ticket, the cheaper it is! It also is a huge help for the planning committee to know how many to expect.

The Liv Co FALL Job Shadow Day is coming up November 4–6, 2026. We now have more than 215 job-shadow opportunities—and that number is still growing! We continue to hear great stories from students who have used Job Shadow Day to confirm a career pathway, make a meaningful connection with an employer, or even land a job.

Registration opens October 14 at 6:00 p.m. As you know, opportunities are available on a first-come, first-served basis across the county, so early communication is important. We want students to have the best possible chance of securing the experience they are hoping for!

Job Shadow Day Description:

BHS, in partnership with Livingston ESA’s Career Development Department, has planned a countywide, bi-annual event, Liv Co Job Shadow Day, on Wednesday, November 4 - Friday, November 6, 2026. This is a one day activity designed to show Juniors and Seniors a bit about what a day in the life of different careers is like. There are many diverse opportunities for students to shadow, ranging from aircraft mechanics to veterinarians to HVAC technicians.

Sign up for students opens on October 14th at 6pm. Students can register and sign up on the same day! Registration involves a parent signature to confirm students' permission to participate. Students can preview the website ahead of time to see what Job Shadow Opportunities are available at the Livingston Career Hub.

Please note that career availability is on a first come, first served basis, so it would be a good idea to have a list of top five choices. Some careers require extra paperwork, so please check that out ahead of time. Extra forms are attached to the Job Shadow Profile. All extra forms are due to the employer via email by October 26th, or the job shadow will be canceled. The last day to sign up for Job Shadows for students is October 26th, 2026.

How Students & Families Can Prepare:

• Discuss Options: Have a conversation this weekend about career fields, industries, or job roles that spark your interest.

• Register Early: Registration opens Wednesday, Oct. 14th on the Livingston Career Hub. Popular placements fill up quickly, so don't wait!

• Complete Prerequisites: Make sure all required permission slips and documentation are submitted by the posted deadlines.

Registration & Support:

• Need help signing up? Check out the Student Registration and Sign up for step-by-step instructions.

Brighton High School will offer the ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) on Friday, December 4th. The ASVAB is a free assessment designed to help students better understand their individual strengths, interests, and potential career pathways. While commonly associated with military service, taking the ASVAB does not require or commit a student to joining the military. Results can be a valuable career-exploration tool for students considering a variety of postsecondary options, including college, skilled trades, career training, and military service.

Additional details and registration information can be found on the ASVAB Informational Flyer here.

Twice monthly NAMI hosts a support group for parents who live in support of their children (ages 12-18) experiencing mental health challenges such as mood disorders, ADHD, autism, self-harm, depression and suicidality. You are welcome to visit their webpage for this month's meeting schedule.

More information on all of the NAMI support groups and classes that are offered right here in Livingston County can be found here.
