Spartan Spotlight

Oct 23, 2020

From the Principal

BRHS Families,

As we wind down the first quarter, please be reminded to check Student Vue and Parent Vue for updated gradebook information. It is important to acknowledge that opening school at a distance and distance learning has presented many challenges for everyone. It is also important to acknowledge the significant and positive work of our students and teachers who are doing their best given the circumstances.

We are continuing to adjust as new information and guidance becomes available. This includes Hybrid stages as outlined by LCPS, as well as phased guidance for various activities. When the second quarter starts on Nov 4, we will shift to and ABAB schedule, with Mondays remaining the same, for asynchronous work. Wednesday November 4 will be an ‘B’ day.

Congratulations to Nicholas Mitchell and Alex Rodriguez for being selected as semi-finalists in the National Merit Scholarship Competition.

Also, congratulations to our seniors who were recognized as ‘commended’. A picture is on the BRHS twitter handle, on the BRHS web site.

Finally, please be sure to check our "school updates" link on the BRHS web site.

Thank you, again, for all of your support as part of our Broad Run community.

David Spage

Principal
