Parents must enter the student's absence in the Infinite Campus Parent Portal prior to the absence. Please indicate that the absence is for a college visit. The absence will initially be posted as unexcused. Once the counselor receives this College Visits Form completed with proof of attendance, the absence will be changed to excused. Students are eligible to take up to 5 approved college visit days each school year. Proof of attendance is required.
This is a reminder that during school hours all visitors to BHS, (including parents, siblings and meeting guests) must enter through Door 1 (Main Street Entrance), check in at the security vestibule with photo ID, and wear a visitor badge/lanyard while on school premises. Visitors are expected to follow all school rules, sign out, and return their badge/lanyard upon leaving. In order to meet with staff, visitors should schedule appointments in advance, at a mutually agreed upon time.
According to preliminary results, voters in the Barrington 220 community approved a $64M bond referendum earlier this week that will significantly improve the BHS campus! Click here to read a message from Dr. Craig Winkelman, Superintendent of Schools.
Veterans Day is a U.S. legal holiday dedicated to American veterans of all wars, and Veterans Day 2023 will occur on Saturday, November 11. In 1918, on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, was declared between the Allied nations and Germany in World War I, then known as “the Great War.”
Commemorated in many countries as Armistice Day the following year, November 11th became a federal holiday in the United States in 1938. In the aftermath of World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day became known as Veterans Day.
November is federally recognized as National Native American Heritage Month (NNAHM). During this month, American Indian and Alaskan Natives are honored and celebrated for their rich and varied cultures, traditions, history, and societal contributions. NNAHM gives us an opportunity to become more educated about Native Americans, increase our knowledge of unique challenges faced by this population, and better understand how historical trauma—such as colonization and genocide—has impacted Native peoples.
