As a district, it is our mission to provide a rigorous, meaningful, and well-rounded education that will inspire each student to achieve their personal best. BAS believes that each student and staff member can reach their full potential when challenged to do their best, with an open mind, and with an unwavering commitment to personal growth.

We continue to increase our efforts to support each person's mental health and wellness with resources, time, and experiences. This information and much more can be found on the BAS Wellness & Mental Health website or download the app by typing in Brighton Area Schools on iTunes or Google Play.

Yearbooks are available to order at http://jostensyearbooks.com?ref=A09868116. They will be delivered to your student in May. Order yours now and check something off the list!

There is a helpful feature in Parent Connect that allows you to enter your student’s absence. Simply log into parent connect and click on the link Report Absence. The Report Absence link will open a screen for you to complete. If you have more than one student check the name of the student for whom an absence is being submitted. Add the applicable dates. If you check the All Day flag attendance will be submitted for the am and pm periods. If you do not check the All Day flag times must be entered and attendance will be submitted for whichever periods meet during the time range (based on period schedule). If you use Parent Connect to report your child's absence you do not need to call the attendance line.

We wanted to share a friendly reminder to our families about pets on school grounds. Because our school has a therapy dog, we ask that non-service animals be kept at home. This is for the safety of our therapy dog, Suzie. When Suzie is at school she is trained to do a job. When other dogs are on the property during school hours it is distracting for her and/or could put her in potential danger.

Thank you for understanding.

The Livingston County Health Department will be conducting Vision and Hearing screenings at Hornung. Vision screening will be November, 12th and rescreening on November, 15th.

Hearing screening will take place on February, 13th and February 14th.

Rescreening for Hearing will take place on March 6th, 7th and 10th. Please contact the office if you do not want you child to be screened. Please see attachments below for more information.

Please remember to ALWAYS bring your Driver's License or State ID when picking up your student from the office. There could always be an instance where we have a substitute Security Guard or a substitute in the office that may not know who you are. Thank you for your corporation!
