ASK THE EXPERTS: New BHS Parent Session
Are you a parent of a new BHS student? Have questions only another BHS parent can answer?
Designed especially for new freshmen parents and others new to BHS, join "parent experts" who can give you the low down on what you really need to know and questions about life at BHS. If you have questions about AP classes, IEPs/504s, different fine arts and athletic extracurriculars, we have parents who can answer these questions and more. Join us for an informational session at the Barrington Area Library on Friday 10/8 at 9:30-11 am. Due to library’s COVID space limitations, sign up is restricted to 23 spots - first come, first serve. If we have the demand, we will add a second session.
