An information packed BHS mailing was completed on Friday for all BHS
families.  The mailing is being sent first class so it should arrive at
your home shortly. Please watch for it.   In the envelope you will find
the following information:

1. Seniors. 12th grade families will receive a letter from Principal
Slemp, the dates of senior activities, graduation information, and a
newsletter.

2. Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors. All current 9th -11th grade families
will receive their students’ transcripts, course requests for next year,
and the newsletter.  In addition there is a letter explaining the school
transcript.  Parents should take a moment to review their child’s choices
for next year carefully and quickly as all changes must be implemented by
Wednesday, March 26.  If your child wishes to make changes they should
come to the library computer lab any day after school where a counselor
will be available to help them.

Questions answered (before even asked.)
1. Some students will receive two envelopes. If that is the case, USUALLY
the handwritten envelope has the most up-to-date information. Check both
carefully.

2. If your child receives a transcript and no course selection, USUALLY it
means that the course selection has not yet been made.  Your child should
make selections as soon as possible by going to the Library computer lab
after school. If your child has already made his/her course selections and
did not receive a course request form, please have them go to the computer
lab after school to make sure the information is correct.

3. Your child's requests are not what they asked for.  Two possibilities
here: a) your child made changes after the requests were printed up OR
there was a mistake. It is to catch mistakes  (as well as alert parents as
to their child’s choices) that we are going to this effort—please have
your child come to the computer lab after school to correct the request.

Finally, this mailing was very very complicated. Many thanks to the Front
Desk volunteers who carefully matched transcripts, course requests, and
mailing labels. Also thank you to the Friday PTSA mailing crew under the
leadership of Alisa Gould and Lynn Fuller who pulled the whole mailing
together.   Usually I do not feel that our school is that large--but
during a mailing, there is no doubt.  It would be impossible to
communicate to all our families without the generous support of our
community.

Thank you,
