PSEO
BHS will be having our information meeting for PSEO (Post Secondary Education Option) on Tuesday, February 21st at 7 pm in the Mraz Center. This is a program for eligible 10th, 11th, and 12th graders for NEXT YEAR to gain college credit AT a near by college. This differs from the AP/CIS/Concurrent courses at BHS as the courses are physically AT the college and not on BHS grounds. However, transportation is NOT provided.
This meeting is mandatory for students who wish to participate beginning next fall. Parents are strongly encouraged to join their student as there is MUCH important information shared at this meeting. Parents cannot attend for their student.
This meeting will cover:
*What the program is
*How it works with high school graduation
*How it works with college credits and transferability to other colleges after graduation.
*Differences in expectations - academic and personal
*Difference between Fulltime and Part time participation
*Much, much more
*There will be a panel of current PSEO students to share their experience
*There will be college representatives there from the most attend PSEO colleges for BHS students.
Students should select classes for next year at VA as normal, and is required. A student's semester schedule will be adjusted once the student has locked in courses at the college.
If for some reason the student and parent cannot attend this meeting, please contact your child's VA School Counselor.
