Welcome Back
We are looking forward to welcoming our students back on WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2, 2019. Please enjoy what is left of your winter break!! We have 17 days left in the second marking period and the first semester. Finish strong Bengals!
Blake HS Writing Center
The end of the semester is approaching, and most students are dealing with at least one challenging writing assignment that is due before the end of the semester. Students who are dealing with procrastination, writing blocks, confusion about their assignment, grammar issues, disorganized writing, or most any writing issue, can get one-on-one help (almost but not quite guaranteed – depending on the turnout) on Tuesdays and Thursdays at lunch in D253, where Mrs. Healy and Ms. Linkletter of the English department, along with Blake’s English National Honors Society writing tutors, are available to assist.
