2023-24 School Year
BHS Students, Parents, and Guardians,
End of the 3rd Quarter and report cards will be posted in ProgressBook on 3/20/24. Parents and Guardians, please check ProgressBook to help your child/children stay on top of assignments, assessments, papers, and projects.
As we move into the 4th Quarter, please talk with your children about the importance of completing assignments on time and how homework helps to reinforce their understanding of the concepts and skills. With any assignment, it is essential that students critically think and use their own words, thoughts, and phrases when writing and not using technology to generate a response. BHS has tools that we use to check for plagiarism and other forms of generated text.
Any student who uses devices, technology, or other tools to find answers or to submit work, that is not their own, is a violation of the code of conduct. Cheating, using any artificial intelligence, and plagiarism will result in a zero in both content mastery or work habits.
We live in a world that revolves around our cell phones. They are a great tool that allows us to communicate every second of the day. I am asking that everyone please refrain from calling and texting your children during the school day from 7:25 a.m.-2:10 p.m.
Spring Break is March 25 to March 29, if you are considering taking College Credit Plus (CCP), all paperwork must be turned in by Monday, April 1st to the guidance department. If it is not completed and turned in by Monday, April 1st, you will not be eligible to take it next year.
Have a great break!

See Something, Hear Something, Say Something
The Brunswick City School District encourages students, teachers, staff, parents and other members of our community to report any instances of potential violence, bullying, self-harm or any other issue where our students may be at risk. Information about the SaferSchools Tip Line can be found on the Brunswick City Schools webpage. The Brunswick City School District partners with SaferSchools Ohio to provide our families with a free resource for keeping our schools safe. The anonymous tip line service helps alert local law enforcement to potential school safety crisis. By calling or texting the statewide tip line (844-SAFEROH), you can report anything that is suspicious or endangering to you, your friends or your school. The SaferSchools Tip Line accepts calls and texts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Thank you for keeping our Brunswick Community SAFE.
