Happy Thanksgiving from Big Walnut High School
It was a jam packed week at BWHS, despite the weather throwing us a few curve balls. Next week will be a short week with our Thanksgiving holiday. There will be no school Wednesday, November 21 through Monday, November 26. Students will return to school on Tuesday, November 27. Then it will be a short 3 weeks until Winter Break. Planning ahead, our semester exams will be given Friday, December 14-Wednesday, December 19. There will be no school for students, beginning Thursday, December 20.
As always, please don't hesitate to reach out to your child's teachers, school counselor or the administration if you have any questions or concerns. Feel free to contact the main office at 740-965-3766 between the hours of 7:00 and 3:15.

Updates from the School Counseling Office
Sophomore Pre-ACT results:
All sophomores should have received their Pre-ACT results during class meetings last week. Families are encouraged to go over these results together as there is some valuable information for students regarding predicted ACT performance and possible career and interest paths. If you have any questions about your results, or if your student did not receive their results, please contact the school counseling office.
Sophomores to Visit DACC:
Our entire sophomore class will visit the DACC (Delaware Area Career Center) on Tuesday, November 20. This visit is an opportunity for all sophomores to see what options are available to them for their junior and senior year and decide if applying to the DACC is the right choice for them.
FAFSA Completion Nights:
OSU Marion will be holding a number of FAFSA Completion Nights for parents to complete their FAFSA application. These events are FREE and open to all parents regardless of high school attendance or college attendance. Parents must register prior to the event due to limited space. Click HERE to register.
