Hi BAS Families! We are gearing up for PINK WEEK, and there is a LOT happening. See the recap of our social media posts, as well as our sign-ups for donations. Please consider clicking on the links below if you are interested and able to help our cause. Thank you!!

~BHS Leadership Class

Specific opportunities to get involved include:

- Donating items to be sold at the concession stand

- Donating items for the bake sale throughout the week

- Donating items for the Teacher Pie in the Face

- Volunteering to work the concession stand (all or part of game)

As many of you know who have experienced it, Pink Week is one of the best weeks of the year at BHS and it is here this week! Our entire school and the Brighton community come together through both school and community-wide events to raise money for the Trinity Health Cancer Center in Brighton. We appreciate any and all support this week as it is a fantastic opportunity to raise money for a great cause and to keep funds local! We also have shirts available for purchase via the BHS school store, The Paw, as well as through Ivory Vines.

The week's events are outlined below:

• Monday 9/16 - Powderpuff Football Game at BHS Stadium @ 7pm. $5 entry fee. All are welcome and encouraged to attend! Tickets can be purchased at the gate or digitally in advance. *No Athletic Passes accepted. This is a charity event.
• Wednesday 9/18 - Pink Run/Walk 5K/1K
• Friday 9/20 - Pink Out Football Game; Survivor Ceremony on the field at halftime
• All Week (9/16-9/20) - Bake Sale and Pink Week Prize Raffle at all lunches, Teacher Lockup

As mentioned previously, BHS' school store, The Paw is OPEN for Pink Week. We are no longer taking pre-orders online, but the remaining inventory will be sold in The Paw this week.

Link to order BHS Pink Week Items from The Paw

As always, 100% of proceeds generated by The Paw from Pink Week items will go toward BAS' donation to the Trinity Health Cancer Center in Brighton.

One of our Title Sponsors, Ivory Vines, also has a number of Pink Week items available for purchase. Apparel can be purchased online via their online store, with additional items available for purchase in-store. Online store purchases need to be made by 9/13, but in-store purchases can be made throughout the week.

We hope to see you at the week's events!

Our students have been working hard to prepare and fulfill all Pink Week pre-orders that were completed online. If you are a BAS employee and selected to have your items delivered to your school, they should have already been delivered. All pre-order pickups, as well as new purchases, can be made this week, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday during all lunches (until 12:00).

*If you do not have a BHS student, or are planning to pick up the order yourself rather than having your student pick it up, let us know and we can have your items available for pick up in the Main Office. Contact The Paw via Dr. Clark with any questions or to have your order available for pick up (clarkt@brightonk12.com).

During the Pink Out Game (Friday, 9/20) cancer survivors and people currently battling cancer are invited to come on the field at halftime and release balloons for cancer awareness. There will be a table at the front where individuals can check in and cancer survivors and those currently battling cancer get into the game for free. The informational flyer on the Pink Week Survivor Walk can be found here.

If you would like to sign up to participate, please do so using the QR code on the flyer itself or you can do so through the link provided.

In addition to participating in BHS' Pink Week events, we are also offering businesses the opportunity to serve as Pink Week Sponsors or make donations to our Pink Week Raffle. If you or someone you know may be interested in participating in either of these opportunities to support a great cause, feel free to share our Pink Week Sponsorship and Donation Flyer.

BHS students who attended Registration in August should have received their Student ID card. The bar code on that ID card is not working correctly. As a result, all students who currently have student ID cards will need to swap them out for a new one this week. The new student ID cards will have a barcode that will allow your students to scan in/out for attendance purposes if they ever find themselves coming in late or leaving early. Athletic Passes will be transferred over to students' new ID cards upon pick up. The Student ID swap out will take place on Monday and Tuesday outside the cafeteria during all lunches.

We have 2 quick reminders as it relates to transportation to and from Brighton High School for this school year.

• The Transportation Department would like to remind all students riding the bus that they are assigned to a specific transfer bus to take them from BHS to Scranton in the afternoon. If you could assist us in reminding your student(s) to take their assigned bus to Scranton, the Transportation Department would appreciate it. If they do not know what their transfer bus number, they can ask their bus driver and they could share it with them, or you could contact the Transportation Department directly.
• If your student rides their bike or a scooter to/from school each day, they may like to know that we have a bike rack on the side of the band room in between the building and the cafeteria. They are able to lock their bikes/scooters to it. Doing so will assist us in keeping sidewalks and walkways clear as we have had students leaving them on the grass and/or blocking part of walkways the first few weeks of school.

The Athletic Department has asked that we remind everyone of the Brighton stadium rules in advance of this week's athletic events. They are listed below:

• Children in 8th grade or younger are not admitted to events without a parent or another adult
• No re-entry to the stadium
• No outside food, drink, or containers are allowed
• No tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, or other illegal substances are allowed on school property
• No backpacks or large bags are allowed and purses and packages may be inspected
• No animals or pets are allowed in or around the stadium

As a reminder, just as it was last year, all tickets are purchased digitally. Tickets can be purchased online in advance or can be purchased the same night of the event you will be attending.

As part of our building practice, we will NOT release information about your student(s), other than Directory Information, without your permission. For parents or students over the age of 18 who wish to prohibit the release of Directory Information or restrict the release only to military recruiters, you must fill out the attached form and return it to Sheryl Hemphill (either in person or at hemphills@brightonk12.com) no later than Friday, September 27th. More information as to what is considered Directory Information can be found on the form itself.

As you already know, students had their school pictures taken at Registration in August. The photography company (schoolpictures.com) provided students with an "Online Code" that is unique to the particular student and allows parents (or the students themselves) to view their picture and determine if they would like to purchase a picture package or not. Many of you purchased pictures in advance of Registration, and if you did, this does not apply to you. If you have not purchased pictures yet and/or would like view your student's picture, you will need their UNIQUE Online Code. If your student does not have the code that was provided to them, we can provide you with that information. In order to find out the specific code for your student, please contact either myself (evansm@brightonk12.com) or Amie Konieczny (konieca@brightonk12.com or (810) 299-4106) and we would be more than happy to assist.

If your student missed Registration, or they are not happy with the picture they took at Registration, they should plan to take advantage of Picture Retake Day on Tuesday, October 15th. Students who missed Registration and would like to get a Student ID Card can either wait until Picture Retake Day, or they can stop into the Main Office before school, after school, or during passing time, to get a picture taken for a Student ID Card.

Our Yearbook students are already busy capturing moments and memories to create a keepsake that you and your students will look back on for many years to come. Get ahead now and order your yearbook today! Prices will begin to increase after October 1, so take advantage of this deal now!

Yearbooks are available for order at https://www.yearbooknerds.com/brighton-high-school

Senior parents, consider purchasing a personalized yearbook ad for your student to allow for a personal message with your favorite photos! Yearbook ads can be purchased from the same site listed above.

As mentioned above, all 9th graders will be attending a presentation by OK2Say on Wednesday, September 25th during their Advisory period. The OK2Say program is housed within the Michigan State Police Headquarters.

The OK2Say program has shared the information below with us in regards to the program as well as the presentation they will be providing to our students:

Being a student in today's world is a challenge to say the least! Our goal at OK2Say is to help schools in their endeavor to educate students about the importance of making safe and wise choices in a technologically evolving society.

Students are empowered to stand up for student safety by reporting threatening behaviors in a way that keeps the student safe. The program focuses on the issues students face including bullying, cyberbullying, mental health, suicide warning signs, self-injury, sexting, dating violence, sexual abuse, the dangers of drugs and alcohol, and threats of violence. Students are reminded to pay attention to what is going on around them. If they see something that does not seem right, students are encouraged to step up and speak out.

We do not traditionally advertise for away sporting events throughout the year, but we do want to bring one to your attention as it is in support of a charitable cause. Our Brighton High School Varsity Football Team is currently scheduled to play at Hartland High School on Friday, September 27th at 7 pm. If you are considering attending, please see the message below from Hartland High School and their Gold Out Committee:

We are thrilled to announce our upcoming annual Gold Out game, where Brighton will face Hartland. This event is not only a highlight of our sports calendar but also a meaningful fundraiser for C.S. Mott Children's Hospital’s Oncology and Hematology Departments.

Our Honorary Captains represent both Hartland (HCS) and Brighton (BAS) school districts, underscoring the collaborative spirit of this event. The Gold Out game is about more than just the competition on the field; it’s a collective effort to support children in our communities who are affected by childhood cancer.

As part of the event, we will be hosting a “rush the stands", where Hartland students will be collecting donations for Mott during the game. To add a fun twist, we are organizing a friendly competition between the Hartland (blue and gold) and Brighton (orange and black) communities to see who can raise the most funds. We will have this announced after the halftime show.

Each year, the Livingston County Health Department conducts vision screening for all of our 9th grade students. This year, vision screening will take place on Wednesday, October 2nd and Thursday, October 3rd. For additional information please see the Vision Screening Information for Parents.

As a reminder, unless we are notified in advance that you would not like to have your 9th grade student screened, they will be included in the vision screening for the current school year. If you would like to opt your 9th grade student out of this year's vision screening, please contact either member of our building medical staff. Their contact information is listed below:

BHS PTO is an active part of your student’s overall high school experience. In addition to others, the BHS PTO proudly supports the following activities throughout the school year: educational student assemblies, Academic Letter, Academic Wall of Fame, Freshman class activities, staff and student appreciation events, financial support for student-run after-school clubs and organizations, and the Senior Picnic. All activities are supported through the generosity of BHS families. If you would like to donate to the BHS PTO, you can do so here.

Our PTO at BHS has already been hard at work this year supporting BHS staff and students in a variety of ways, including a student lunch treat on Thursday of this past week! Coming up, PTO will be supporting our teachers by providing them with a meal before Parent/Teacher Conferences on October 17th. Please see the message from PTO regarding this below:

The PTO will be hosting a dinner for BHS staff during conferences on October 17, 2024. If you would like to help, please review the available slots and click on the button to sign up. Please indicate in your sign-up what type of soup and/or salad you will be bringing so we can avoid duplicates. A few vegetarian and gluten-free options would be wonderful!

Please drop all perishable items to the HS Main Office before 1:00pm on the day of event. Please drop all non-perishable items at the HS Main Office anytime prior to the event date. Thank you!

The "to-do" list for a Senior (and Senior parent) is a long one. There are three important tasks to ensure each Senior is honored in the 2024-25 BHS Yearbook. Seniors must submit their Senior Headshots to the yearbook by October 31, along with a list of Senior Activities. Parents may also buy an "ad" to recognize their special Senior. If you do not have a photographer submitting pictures on your behalf, students will have the opportunity to have Portraits by Alex take their Senior picture on either 11/13 or 11/14 for $50. Senior Yearbook Recognition Ad prices go up by 12/2. Of course, Seniors will also want to order a yearbook as a treasured memento of their Senior year. Take care of all three tasks at once at https://www.yearbooknerds.com/brighton-high-school! Order your book by September 30th to get the best price!

Brighton High School Yearbook Flyer

We have gotten a number of questions regarding the 11/13 and 11/14 dates for Seniors planning to get their Senior Headshot taken by Portraits by Alex at BHS. To clarify, these dates ARE correct. They come later once we have had a chance to go through all submissions and determine who has not submitted a Senior Headshot yet in case they still want to do so. It gives us the opportunity to reach out to students and parents and Portraits by Alex submits the images directly to the yearbook company all at once in bulk.

If you are wondering how to sign up to have your student's Senior Headshot taken on the 13th or 14th by Portraits by Alex, there will be a Google sign-up that is sent to students at the end of October. Students need to sign-up through their school Google account. If you are interested, please look out for that email in October.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

This summer, Mrs. Richards sent out the BHS Bulldog Senior Bulletin. It includes information on the college application process, including tips for completing applications, admissions essays/personal statements, and letters of recommendation. Mrs. Richards also shared information about the Michigan Achievement Scholarship and Community College Guarantee that you may find useful as you investigate postsecondary options available to your student.

In addition to this, each year the Senior Class Council produces an information sheet that is a one-stop shop for all things Senior year. View this year's Senior Class Council Information Sheet here. We would encourage you to have your student follow the social media accounts listed and also join the Remind App listed at the bottom of the page based on their last name to receive updates over the course of the year.

You may not be able to apply to some schools via Common App, or you may make the decision to apply directly to a certain school via their website. You will, however, still need to submit a copy of your transcript as part of the application process. For prospective college athletes, you will also need to send a copy of your transcript to the NCAA Eligibility Center to ensure you are eligible to compete. If you need to send a copy of your transcript to a school for any reason, you have the ability to submit a request via Parchment. All schools have the ability to receive transcripts through this method. Directions for how to create an account and request a transcript be sent via Parchment can be found here. Please do not request transcripts be sent to a personal email address via Parchment. We can get your student a copy of their transcript, but we do not utilize Parchment to do this. They can stop in the Counseling Office at any point in time to receive a copy of their transcript directly.

We are regularly looking for potential scholarship for our students to help offset the cost of any type of postsecondary education our students pursue. One of these options is the scholarship directory. Within this directory, you can find scholarships available for a variety of different categories. Scholarships specific to this year's Seniors can be found here. You will find scholarship information for a multitude of scholarships dated as far out as August 31, 2025. You may also be interested in some of the Michigan-specific scholarships listed as a separate category. This page is one of many resources available for students when it comes to potential scholarship opportunities so we would encourage you to check it out! Our counseling website also includes pages for both local/state and national scholarships that your student may apply for.

If you need to meet with your student's Grade Level Principal for any reason, please don't hesitate to reach out. If your student has a 504 and returned to BHS this fall, you should have received an additional communication offering you the opportunity to have your student's support plan continue as written, or the chance to meet to address any necessary changes. If your student has a 504 and is a Freshman, you have received an additional communication asking you to set up a time to meet to discuss the plan in greater detail, in order to help facilitate a smooth transition to a new environment this year. To contact your student's Grade Level Principal, please see the information below:

As a part of the BAS Strategic Plan, we are always trying to find ways to maximize and support student growth. One of many ways we do this is through the Brighton Area Schools App. This app can be downloaded for free on iTunes and Google Play. It is loaded with resources for students and parents. In addition, consider using the "Your Best, Your Growth, Your Future" part of the app to submit a goal and receive 1:1 support and feedback to help you achieve it! The app will also allow you to receive notifications on what is happening throughout BAS and be updated on future events and information.

As a district, we are increasing our efforts to support the mental health and wellness of our students, families, and the community by focusing on relationships, student wellness, and increasing a mindset for learning and growth. Additional resources and information can be found on our BAS Wellness & Mental Health website.

Each week, we will be sharing out a weekly tip/resource with our families. This week's tip:

"We Can Learn a Lot From a Pencil"

Each year we remind students of the importance of finding ways to get involved within their school community. In addition to being academically engaged, another excellent way to accomplish this is through participation in BHS athletics or extracurricular clubs. We share this information now as many of our fall athletics teams have tryouts/practices prior to school starting. The same is true of some of our clubs/teams. For more information on these groups, please see the information below:

After numerous deaths throughout Livingston County that were attributed to drug overdoses, the Big Red Barrel Project was created as a place to allow community members to safely dispose of their unwanted medications. Since it began, the Big Red Barrel Project's efforts have resulted in the secure and environmentally safe disposal of over 30 tons (or 60,000 pounds) of drugs.

Volunteers will be set up at BHS Football games on September 20th and October 25th with the goal of providing attendees the opportunity to dispose of unused medications/sharps/etc. safely. For more information on the Big Red Barrel Project, click here.

We are excited to announce an incredible opportunity for students (6th through 13th grade) to become part of a dynamic and transformative program - the Michigan Chief Science Officers (CSO) Program.

Students are strongly encouraged to register in advance if they plan to attend. For more information, or to register to attend, click here.

On September 28th, Veterans Connected will be holding their 4th Annual Ruck To Live Event. This year, Veterans Connected is making a special effort to include civilians in the remembrance as they recognize that mental health is a concern for all of us, not just the veteran community. In addition to their 8 Mile Ruck, their 1 Mile Patriotic Family Walk is perfect for everyone in the community to support each other in raising awareness for this crucial cause. It is filled with educational and patriotic displays of our nation's history, military branches, our flag, Pledge of Allegiance, and more. They have partnered with several civilian mental health and suicide prevention organizations for this event and would like to see the event grow even more this year. This year, they will also have elementary-aged children lead the Pledge Of Allegiance prior to the beginning of the closing ceremony, roughly around 12:30pm as another opportunity to get involved.

For more information, or to get involved with this upcoming event, please see the information below:

The High School Outreach Officer of the Society of Women Engineers at U of M has reached out to us with a unique opportunity for our 11th and 12th grade female students who may be curious about studying STEM fields in the future. They are hosting a Shadow Day in which students will get the opportunity to shadow SWE members for a day and experience a day in the life of a Michigan engineer.
