WELCOME BACK MESSAGE
It is hard to believe that the first day of school is just a little more than two weeks away! We hope everyone is having a great summer and that you have had plenty of time to relax and enjoy time with family and friends. As we look forward to welcoming our students, we wanted to update you on a few important announcements for the beginning of the school year.
Student Schedules
Student schedules will be available online Monday, August 4. To access your student's schedule, log into your Infinite Campus parent portal and select the schedule on the left navigation bar. If your Infinite Campus account is disabled, it is because you have not completed your student's online registration for the upcoming school year.
Please contact the Registrar, Stacey Lidbury, for assistance at: 847.842.3296. Due to construction currently underway at BHS, if you need to contact your child's counselor, please do so via email. Counselor's office hours begin on Monday, August 12.
First Day of School
The first day of school is Monday, August 19. We will be running a special schedule to kick off the school year with longer passing periods and time for school announcements.
Bronco Blast Newsletter
Our weekly Bronco Blast will be sent out every Friday school is in session. Our focus for the "Blast" is information that is relevant to the majority of our BHS family. We will utilize Infinite Campus messaging for more targeted information. You can stay connected with us on social media: Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
We look forward to a productive year of empowering personal excellence in every learner.
Sincerely,
Steve McWilliams
Principal
