Is your child interested in taking classes at Gateway or NKU next year? Would you like to find out more about the dual credit opportunities at BMHS? Dave Pelgen, our Transition Coordinator, will be hosting a Dual Credit Parent Information Night on Monday, March 10th at 6:00pm in the BMHS Library.

Attention all rising sophomores. Did you know that you could possibly take some courses at Gateway Community College that counts both as a credit here at Bellevue and as college credit? Here is what you need to know:

• The deadline to apply is March 15th. Pick up an application from Mr. Pelgen.
• Sophomore students must have a 3.5 GPA.
• You must take an ACT exam and hit at least one of the following benchmarks. Visit act.org to register.
• Math - 19
• Reading - 20
• ACT scores must be reported to the school before the start of the 25-26 school year.
• Bellevue families are responsible to pay the discounted dual credit tuition rate during the sophomore year.

The end of the 3rd academic quarter is quickly approaching. Grades will be finalized by the end of the day on March 11th. 3rd Quarter report cards will go home on March 14th. It would be a good idea to have a conversation with your student about where they currently stand with their grades as we wrap up the quarter.

A large group of our students will be taking the ACT during the month of March. The testing session will begin at the beginning of the school day. It is critically important that on the testing days our students arrive to school on time and ready to go. The testing schedule is below.

• Juniors - March 11th and March 12th
• Sophomores - March 18th and March 19th
• Seniors - March 20th

Our sophomores will be visiting the University of Kentucky on Thursday, March 13th. Students that wish to attend the trip, must turn in their permission slips to Mr. Pelgen by the end of the day on March 10th.
