Winter break is just around the corner, and it’s a good time to review your home Internet security plan and discuss responsible tech use with your student. With a break from school, students will likely spend more unsupervised time using their iPad. If you’ve not already done so, using the iPad’s Screen Time feature to establish web content restrictions, such as limiting adult content, is a great place to start. See here for instructions on how to set up content restrictions using screen time.

Senior SPURS (Student Pride Unites and Rewards Seniors) was developed to reward students for having good attendance, grades, and behavior. Students who meet the SPURS criteria are exempt from their second final exams.

Please view this document for the exemption criteria.

On April 8th, 2025 Juniors will be taking the ACT at Barrington High School. For students or families looking for additional prep we recommend that students use the free resources available from the ACT website.

In addition, many private companies offer fee-based test prep programs. There are a large variety of options that families can look into on their own, one such program is offered by Academic Tutoring & Test Prep. They will be offering an ONLINE prep program in the evenings for 8 weeks leading up to the April ACT, These online classes are open only to BHS students. More info can be found in this Flier.

More info about BHS Standardized Testing is on our website.

The next PTO meeting will be held on January 13, 2024 at 9:15 am. in room C271 at BHS.
