BRHS Celebrates Our Students!
Wild weather
How is this for a rainbow?
PARENT INFORMATION
Almost 1/2 Way!
On January 23rd, each student will have a new plan folder/contract for CC4. The plan folder has a place at the top where the HR teacher and student place the credit goal and how many total credits are needed to graduate. We have six credit checks a year. This means our seniors will have three credit checks left to graduate on time and our juniors will have nine, and sophomores have 15. Every student's credit goal is different.
Parents you can check your child's credit progress by logging in to Synergy.
STUDENT INFORMATION - CURRENT
FAFSA Requirement
NOTE: If your parents are not comfortable doing this with us, the FAFSA can be completed at home. All you need to do is bring in the "Congratulations, your submitted your FAFSA" email to Mrs. Lee-Briggs. Students will earn Guidance credit for completing this task.
Spirt Day is coming ... January 20th
NEW Homeroom Activities for Part 2 of CC3 will start on today (Monday)
Typing.com - Have you taken the three-minute quiz?
Our district has purchased a subscription for typing.com for all students. You can log into the program through CLEVER and take a short 3 minute test to see your typing speed. You can also use this program to earn Guidance/Elective credit. Another use for a typing score is to include it on job applications or resumes. Typing is a skill that will help you in whatever you do. Talk to your homeroom teacher about getting started on typing.com.
