The short answer is “Yes.” With this year being a completely new format, we are discussing various options we have and what we hope to accomplish during the last week of the first semester. There is a desire for a culminating exam, or project, or extended writing to take place that week so that students have a chance to raise their final grade and demonstrate subject matter understanding. We are working with other TUSD high schools and our leadership team to create a schedule that meets several needs and will share the schedule as soon as we have it finalized.

While remaining physically distanced off campus, PTO continues to bring community together by actively addressing Patriot community needs through dialogue and collaboration! This month, PTO has authorized funds to purchase additional electrostatic sanitation sprayers. This has tremendous lasting impact by keeping shared areas of campus clean and hygienic for every student and staff member. Our special thanks to the amazing BHS Grounds and Facilities team for the incredibly important work they do each day.
