Station P T O Meetings!
PTO Meeting Schedule 2023

April 11

P T O Sponsored, 8th Grade Parent, BHS Info. Session
Are you a parent of an 8th grader who will attend BHS this fall? After the high school counselors talked to you, do you have questions only another BHS parent can answer?
This informal Q&A session is designed especially for current 8th grade parents and others new to BHS. Join a veteran BHS parents panel who can give you the low down on what you really need to know and answer questions about life at BHS. Whether it's questions about how lunch works, if kids really use their lockers, AP classes, IEPs/504s, different fine arts, or athletic extracurriculars, we have parents who can answer these questions and more.
Join us for an informational session at the Barrington Area Library on Thursday, 2/23, from 9:30-11:00 AM. Due to space limitations, sign-up is restricted to 60 spots - first come, first served. We will also do a livestream on the BHS PTO Facebook page.
