Snow Day plan for the 2022-2023 School Year
Dear BHS Families and Students:
BHS School Synchronous Day Schedule for 2022-2023 for Snow Days and Cancellation of School Days
As noted in the District’s 2022-2023 School Calendar, we will have ONE snow day/school cancellation day this school year. Classes will NOT be held on the first day where classes are cancelled. However, should the District have to cancel classes for more than one day, BHS students will have LIVE synchronous classes via ZOOM/Schoology links with their teachers. See attached schedule for such a scenario.
Teachers have already communicated their SNOW DAY Zoom or Schoology links with students. An Parent Square message, robocall, and e-mail will be sent to all families in the event school buildings are closed. If students downloaded the Student Square app, they will also get a TEXT message from Dr. Hall.
The following EXPECTATIONS are for all high school students:
- Bring home computer devices if we suspect a possible snow day may be called.
- Check teacher’s Schoology pages for a SNOW DAY ZOOM link ready to go for SNOW DAYS.
- Sign onto ZOOM links and attend all classes for the entire class period as per the SNOW DAY Schedule.
- Turn on Cameras so that proper attendance can be taken.
- Actively participate during the lesson.

OPEN/CLOSED CAMPUS & MAIN ENTRANCE AND EXITS
OPEN/CLOSED CAMPUS & MAIN ENTRANCE AND EXITS
We are proud to maintain our tradition of open campus. This is a privilege granted to Brighton High School students and should be respected. It can be revoked and/or restricted by administration and/or by parent request. The District’s K-12 Safety Committee has recommended that we implement additional sign in/out procedures along with one point of entry during the school day. Students will be required to sign/swipe out when leaving the building during regular school hours at DOOR #1.
BHS will continue to have an OPEN CAMPUS periods 5,6,7 (11:35-1:58) for ALL students.
- Students with free periods during this time are welcome to leave campus. Students may lose this privilege for academic and/or behavioral reasons. Students are not allowed to transport other students in cars during the school day.
- ONLY seniors will be allowed to leave campus periods 2 and 3 if they have a free this year.
- During closed periods 2 and 3, students in grades 9-12 may sign out of the building, go to the back TK9 field area, and MUST remain ON CAMPUS to study, eat, or socialize, unless campus is closed for security reasons.
- Campus is closed periods 1, 4, and 8, and ALL students must remain in school unless leaving for an appointment or signing out for an early dismissal.
- From November 28th – April 15th each school year, students will not be allowed to leave the building except during OPEN CAMPUS periods.
- Students will be able to continue to go outside during FLEX from 11:01-11:31 to eat, socialize, study, or use the field area for sports.
- Students will continue to sign in/out from the attendance office if arriving late to school or leaving early for appointments and exit through DOOR #1.
FAMILIES – if you DO NOT want your child to have OPEN CAMPUS privileges, please notify their assistant principal.
