NO SCHOOL ON THURSDAY, November 11th in honor of Veterans Day!
Thank you to all of our veterans who have served our country.
Dear BHS Families:
Hope you had a wonderful week. Our final week of the 1st marking period is next week! The marking period ends on November 16th. Please talk to your students about how they are doing and contact your student’s teachers if you have any questions. Quarter averages were updated in SchoolTool on November 1st.
ELEVATOR USE & Bathroom Stall Use at BHS
Please note that the elevator at school is for students with medical or physical needs. Please talk to your student about NOT using the elevator unless they have a medical or physical condition. We need to ensure that the kids/staff who NEED it, can access it, when they need it. THANK YOU!
Similar to the elevators, we are also finding that some students are congregating in the handicapped stalls in various student restrooms in the building.
First, students with physical and medical needs must be able to access the larger stalls in bathrooms whenever they need them.
Second, there should never be more than one student in a stall at one time. From past experience, if we see more than one pair of legs in a stall, that usually means students are vaping which is clearly against school policy. Vaping is also extremely dangerous and bad for teenage bodies and organs like the lungs and brain.
Thank you and Happy November!
Tom

IMPORTANT REMINDERS
GENERAL MASK EXPECTATIONS at BHS
Mandated by the Brighton Board of Education, NYS Department of Health, and the NYS Education Department.
Masks are required to be worn over the nose and mouth when walking or standing inside any Brighton School Building or on a BUS.
Masks may be removed for eating/drinking ONLY, when seated, in the upper GYM, cafeteria, or lower gym.
When walking around for any reason, masks must be put back on. When students are finished eating/drinking, masks must be put back on over the nose and mouth.
While eating/drinking inside, students must distance themselves from other students as much as possible.
If staff members remind you to pull up your mask or to put on a mask inside the building, you must do so. They are just helping to enforce District and NYS Policy for everyone’s health and safety.
Students may remove their masks completely once they go outside to eat or take masks breaks under the tent or outside on campus when they are free and do not have class.
Replacement masks are available that will fit you better. If you need one, I can provide one to you or you can pick one up in the main office, security desks, or health office.
Brighton - Israeli Exchange
Open to all BHS students!
Brighton High School is once again excited to participate in the BHS-Israeli Exchange. This program is jointly sponsored by the Brighton Central School District and the Jewish Federation of Rochester. This is intended to be a strictly cultural and non-religious exchange; any BHS student can participate.
Marla Taplinger and John Clements are the school advisors for this exchange program. BHS students interested in participating in the BHS-chaperoned student exchange trip to Israel during our 2022 February Break should Click here for more information.
Learn About Local Farms and Help Your School Win
The American Dairy Association North East is encouraging students to eat healthy school lunches. They have a video at milkvids.com to help students learn that so much of their food is locally sourced from New York State farms and dairies. After the video plays, it will ask you to enter what school you’re from. If a school reaches 50-100 views by Nov. 18, the school will be entered into a sweepstakes with prizes for the school’s students. Help your school win prizes!
