BHS Happenings

If you haven't already, please make sure you check your child's Quarter 3 Report Card which is now available on your PowerSchool Parent Portal. With just 1 quarter left for the school year, it is important that you know what your child needs to do to finish the year academically strong. Notifications are currently being mailed home for those students that will need to attend summer school due to grades and attendance, please make sure to reply accordingly.

Quarter 3 was another strong quarter for the students at BHS! In total, 208 students made High Honors and Honors for the quarter. We look forward to celebrating this academic accomplishment at our Quarter 3 Honor Roll celebration. Please stay tuned for more details.

The Young Women's Leadership Group led by advisor, Ms. Evelyn Rodriguez and the YWCA took a college tour of Harvard University yesterday. The Young Women's Leadership Program helps youth learn critical life skills through project-based workshops, focusing on financial literacy, college and career exploration, STEM activities, team building and personal leadership development. This college tour provided our students with a chance to explore the different college opportunities available to them.

On April 9th, all students will be testing. Grades 9 and 10 will be taking the PSAT, Grade 11 will be taking the SAT, and Grade 12 will be taking their Senior Competencies and working on their Capstone Projects. All students are required to attend school on this day and will have their attendance counted against them if they do not. There will be late bus runs home at 11:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m., and 2:00 p.m. depending on when you are done testing. All buses will run on their regular bus routes during the morning.

Seniors will meet in the cafeteria to continue their work on several graduation requirements. Students will be working on their capstone project, and be pulled to take their math, reading and science competency assessments. Those required to take these assessments have not met bench mark on either/or of the English SAT, Math SAT or NGSS. Students have been notified by their counselor via email to which subject(s) they need to take. Students should bring a charged device with them to school this day. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Mrs. Trombino at strombino@blmfld.org

We encourage all of our students taking the PSAT or SAT to get a good nights sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and to come prepared to test. Students room assignments will be posted in the main lobby.
