High School Highlights
Weekly Updates from Big Walnut High School
August 18, 2017
WELCOME BACK!!!!!
Week one of the 2017-2018 school year is in the books! BWHS welcomed teachers and staff back on Monday and students on Wednesday. It was great to see the building open and full of life again! We are very excited for another successful school year with your students. Please be sure to check out High School Highlights each week for important information about academics, athletics, extra curriculars and all things BWHS! We will do our best to keep you informed with everything you need to know.
The format of the newsletter will change slightly this year. The top items are those that pertain to the school as a whole and/or multiple grade levels. If we have announcements or information specific to one grade, we will include that at the bottom, clearly labeled with the appropriate class. Hopefully this will make your reading of the newsletter more efficient!
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 7:15 and 3:15.
