2023-24 School Year
BHS Students, Parents, and Guardians,
I hope that everyone will take time over the break to relax and enjoyed time with family and friends. We are half way through the 2023-24 school year and have a lot to accomplish over the next few months. I want to update you on several changes that will be in place as we move forward that will impact the PSAT, SAT, Exams, Senior Exams and Transportation on the days mentioned. Please reference the letters linked below for the remainder of this year and every year moving forward.
BCSD Transportation changes on PSAT, SAT and Exam days
Senior Final Exams Second Semester Only Exemptions
Teachers and grade level principals will be covering the changes for the second semester exam exemptions when we return after winter break. When students meet the state requirements(scores) on all of their Ohio State Tests (OST), they will meet the state graduation requirements to earn their high school diploma. This would include earning at least two or more of the required state seals, meeting competency in English Language Arts II and Algebra. If you have questions, please contact your child's school counselor.
On Thursday, 1/4/24 students will report to homeroom at 7:25 a.m. Students will receive a copy of their new schedule which will include semester classes, new study halls, new lunch periods, and possible options for late arrival or early release. Students, parents, and guardians can also access their schedules in ProgressBook. Schedule changes will not be permitted.
Talk to your child about doing their best in class, completing assignments, and academic integrity. Help them understand why it is important to do their own work and not to plagiarize or copy others work. Any student who uses devices, technology, or other tools to find answers or to submit work, that is not their own, is a violation of the code of conduct. Cheating, using any artificial intellegence, and plagiarism will result in a zero in both content mastery or work habits.
