Principal Notes

Hello, BHS students and families!

Our school year is hitting its stride as we enter our fall Homecoming Week! Our homecoming events are a hallmark of our school community and a time I look forward to every year. I look forward to the week and to celebrating our district with you over the coming days. Go Blue Devils!

As you may or may not know, Brockport High School is in the process of an assistant principal search to fill the position left by Mr. Benzan. In the interim, we are happy to have Mr. Don Voorheis serving as Interim Assistant Principal. You can contact Mr. Voorheis or any main office team member at the number below.

As always, please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or if we can support your student in any additional way.

Homecoming

As we approach our Homecoming next week, I want to share with you the details and plans for the week below.

On Friday, September 29th, we will run a modified day schedule to accommodate a pep rally to end our day. All students will go to their respective advisements at the end of 4th period and wait for the announcement that will dismiss their class to the stadium. If you have an ACE, please escort them to the stadium and stay with your students.

·

**Students report to ACE and wait to be called down to the stadium.

To help with bus times, students will be allowed to bring their belongings with them to the stadium. Dismissal will be from the stadium to buses.

AM WEMOCO students should report to the LGI for the 4th period timeframe after they return to BHS at approximately 10:25am.

Brockport High School One School One Book Project!

We are thrilled to be working with Jason Reynold's text, For Every One as this year's One School/One Book initiative. Mr. Reynolds will be helping us kick off the initiative with a short video we will watch on October 26th in ACE, and then joining us for a live virtual visit on November 16th. The book explores universal concepts such as ambition, perseverance, self-belief, and the power of community.

The books are available "for every one" through Sora, on Classlinks. More to come soon on this exciting school-wide project!

PM WEMOCO Transportation Schedule

Students and families,

Thank you for your patience as we align our transportation schedule to best support the students in the afternoon WEMOCO programs. Beginning Monday, September 25th, our buses transporting students to this program will leave Brockport High School on the schedule below:

Students transitioning from a study center should leave class at 11:25am and move directly to their bus for an 11:35am departure (Bus 1 & 2).
Students transitioning from Lunch2 will have a “WEMOCO Priority” pass, allowing them to move to the front of the lunch line so they can be on the bus in time for an 11:35am departure (Bus 1 & 2).
Students transitioning from a 3rd period class should leave class on time for an 11:40 departure (Bus 3).

Thank you, and if you or your student have questions, please contact Mr. Pincelli at Brockport High School.

We welcome students, parents and guardians, and school counselors to attend the Virtual Service Academy Information Night and meet representatives from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, U.S. Air Force Academy, U.S. Coast Guard Academy, and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.

This event is an opportunity to learn about the unique academic and career opportunities offered through our nation’s service academies. Students who attend the service academies graduate with a top-tier education, strong leadership experience, and a commission as an officer. Moreover, they will join a proud tradition of leadership and selfless service to our nation. A panel of Academy representatives will provide an overview of the admission process, daily life of a cadet/midshipman, and various paths to officership.

Please RSVP to secure your seat(s): https://www.eventbrite.com/e/virtual-service-academy-night-tickets-718663701477?aff=oddtdtcreator.
