Fall Semester Countdown – Stay on Top of Grades & Attendance!

With just six weeks of instruction remaining in the fall semester, it's a crucial time to stay engaged in your student’s academic progress. We encourage parents to regularly monitor their student's grades and attendance. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out directly to your student’s teachers for support. Together, we can ensure a strong finish to the semester!

At BA, we’re excited to kick off Hello Week and Red Ribbon Week back-to-back because both share the same goal: fostering positive relationships and encouraging healthy choices. Hello Week reminds us of the importance of kindness, inclusion, and making everyone feel welcome, while Red Ribbon Week builds on that message by promoting a drug-free lifestyle and empowering students to make smart, healthy decisions.

When we connect with others and feel supported, we're more likely to avoid risky behaviors. Join us in celebrating both weeks by participating in fun events and activities that encourage students to build connections and commit to living drug-free! Together, we can make BA a place where every student thrives.

We are excited to announce that, as part of the Stronger Connections Grant, we will be starting health and wellbeing surveys the first week of November. These surveys will be conducted through advisory and will help us assess the overall wellness of our students and staff. Our goal is to track growth in these areas throughout the year as we work to foster a healthier school environment.

We’ve already seen great results, with discipline data down and academic performance in Common Assessment 1 (CA 1) significantly up from last year. We look forward to continuing this positive trend with your support!

Thank you for helping us prioritize the wellbeing and success of our students.

OPEN TO ALL BRYAN ADAMS GRADE LEVELS! At this showcase, you’ll learn more about the University, our colleges and schools, and the resources and support you’ll receive as a Longhorn. You’ll also be able to attend our application workshop, where we’ll focus on the admission application, essays and resumes, as well as share helpful tips on choosing your major.

Mark your calendars! Seniors will be taking the TSI (Texas Success Initiative) test on October 29th and 30th. This is an important step for students as they prepare for college readiness. Please ensure your student is well-rested and prepared for these testing dates. To help your student prepare, we have curated a special list of resources and practice exams that your student can engage in from home!

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to the Senior Leadership Team for more information.

Thank you for your support!

   Free practice tests available online can help students familiarize themselves with the format of the TSI. Websites like TSI Practice Test provide multiple practice quizzes for both the math and reading/writing sections.
