SCHOLARSHIP UPDATES Posse Scholarship Semi-Finalists
POSSE is a foundation where partner colleges have agreed to give students a full-ride! Students must go through a series of activities, interviews, and other components in order to receive the POSSE scholarship. Students must display that they have certain characteristics like leadership, a good academic record, passionate, driven, collaborative, and tenacious to receive the scholarship. Let's celebrate these Seniors!

TARDY SWEEP UPDATE
Tardy sweeps have shown great improvement; however, we still have students who are arriving late in the morning.
ATTENTION: Please strive to drop off your child or arrive to BA NO LATER than 8:40AM. This will ensure we can get everyone in on time and safely.
Seniors & Juniors MUST REPORT TO THE FRONT ENTRANCE.
Freshmen and Sophomores MUST REPORT THROUGH THE COUGAR DEN.
Starting 9/11/2023 all students who arrive late and are not in class by 9:15AM will receive a tardy sweep. Random tardy sweeps will be run throughout the week.
Students who continue to arrive late to class will face disciplinary consequences.
Any student not in full uniform (including ID) will not attend class until we have confirmed the student’s active enrollment and provide the student with a modified uniform loaner shirt and lanyard attire indicating the student is an active member of the Bryan Adams community. Students must provide collateral to use the loaner shirt.
Students can also buy a uniform shirt (cash only) in B108.
Students must begin to build habits and be accountable for daily expectations. Check your student’s attire daily and be available if we need to contact you regarding your student’s attire.
Students who continue to violate the dress code policy will face disciplinary consequences.
