BHS Students, Parents, and Guardians:
Parent teacher conferences are Tuesday, November 7th from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Conferences are in person and are on a first come first serve basis. From 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., no conferences will be held to provide a lunch break for all staff. If you have specific questions and need to schedule a conference, please email your child's teacher. Emails can be found using this link: Staff Email Again, it is on a first come basis. It is a great opportunity to meet with the teachers and discuss grades, progress, and resources they can provide. We look forward to seeing you at conferences.
Veterans Day is Saturday, November 11th. As you drive down 303, the Hometown Hero Banners recognize Veterans from our community who have served our national in the Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, Navy and Space Force. I want to thank the Veterans from VFW Post 9520 and the American Legion Post 234 for supporting our schools. They present the colors every Friday night during football season, they have purchased new flags for the building and stadium, and new flags for our classrooms.
I would like to thank the BAF, Brunswick Athletic Foundation, for making a donation to cover the cost of student tickets to most sporting events this year! Thank you for supporting our student athletes and our students! A huge shout out to the BBPO, Brunswick Band Parent Organization, who volunteer their time to run the concession stands at Brunswick Automart Stadium and for your commitment to help all of our kids on and off the field!

See Something, Hear Something, Say Something
The Brunswick City School District encourages students, teachers, staff, parents and other members of our community to report any instances of potential violence, bullying, self-harm or any other issue where our students may be at risk. Information about the SaferSchools Tip Line can be found on the Brunswick City Schools webpage. The Brunswick City School District partners with SaferSchools Ohio to provide our families with a free resource for keeping our schools safe. The anonymous tip line service helps alert local law enforcement to potential school safety crisis. By calling or texting the statewide tip line (844-SAFEROH), you can report anything that is suspicious or endangering to you, your friends or your school. The SaferSchools Tip Line accepts calls and texts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Thank you for keeping our Brunswick Community SAFE.
