BHS Happenings

We are just 10 days away from the first progress reports of the year. Progress Reports will be available for parents to view on their PowerSchool Parent Portal app on September 29th. If you have not already created a PowerSchool account for yourself, please make sure to get that done. This is the only way to view your child's Progress Reports and Report Cards, besides being a great way to monitor your child's daily grades and attendance. The end of 1st quarter will be here before we know it.

The BHS Guidance Department will be hosting college visits for juniors and seniors. College visits will be held in the Guidance Conference Room and students will need to sign up to attend through Naviance. Check out the calendar below to see what colleges have representatives visiting BHS in the coming weeks.
