Good Afternoon Jaguar Families,
I would like to thank our families who donated to assist our PTO’s morning coffee cart this week. The entire Bradley staff greatly appreciated the treats and snacks that made Wednesday’s morning special.
The Bradley Marching Band gave another superior performance Saturday at the Buckeye Invitational at Ohio Stadium. They again received Superior ratings from all seven judges and finished 7th out of 31 competing bands.
Your last chance to catch the entire competition show, “Waiting on the Sky to Change”, will be Saturday, October 26th, at Bradley in the OMEA State Marching Band Finals; the band will perform at 1:30 PM.
On October 23rd, we will administer the PSAT10 for all sophomore students and the NMSQT for our pre-registered junior students. On this day, we will operate on a testing delay schedule.
Finally, the building will be closed tomorrow in observance of COTA Day. Please enjoy the great weather and time with friends and family.
Have a Great Weekend and Go Jags!!!
ATTENDANCE
When students go to school as much as possible, they get to be a part of all the learning and opportunities that come with going to school.
The Ohio Statewide Family Engagement Center at the Ohio State University provides additional information (➡️ linked here! 💻) on the benefits of good attendance, as well as tips for families; in addition to English, this resource is also available in Arabic, Chinese, Dari, English, French, Haitian-Creole, Nepali, Russian, Somali, Spanish, Swahili, and Ukrainian.
Advanced Placement (AP)
AP (Advanced Placement) Exam Registration is now open! If you (or your student) are currently in an AP course, please register to take the exam on MyPaymentsPlus. Taking the AP Exam and getting a qualifying score helps students save time and money by earning college credit or advanced placement, which allows them to skip introductory college courses. Most colleges grant credit, advanced placement or both for qualifying AP Exam scores.
- The registration window is 9/25/24 – 10/25/24
- Each AP exam is $99
- Students who qualify for free/reduced lunch have a fee of $53 per exam
See Mrs. Buscemi or Mrs. Wintrich in guidance with any questions!

CCP Scheduling – Columbus State
Scheduling will begin on Monday, October 21 for fall. CSCC will like all schedules completed by December 9. Also, all students taking classes at CSCC may have seen the below image pop up in their account. Please complete this form, but understand this does not change the fact that Hilliard will continue to pay for fees. CSCC’s billing department put this out and it has caused a lot of confusion.
Understanding College Loans meeting – October 29 at 6:30pm at Darby!
Most students will have some form of student loan after attending college. It is important for students/parents to understand how student loans work and what their payment options are after graduation. This meeting will help everyone better understand how student loans impact the student and family.

**Physicals must be updated prior to participation. Upload two forms from the physical — Physical Exam Form and Medical Eligibility Form — to the parent’s Final Forms account (paper physicals will not be accepted).
**Both athlete and a parent/guardian must sign all forms in Final Forms.
**Participation Fees may be paid beginning November 1 and must be paid prior to the first competition through your MyPaymentsPlus account. All athletes, including free lunch, must complete the payment process through MyPaymentsPlus. Free lunch must check out through MyPaymentsPlus by paying $0 payment. Fees must be paid prior to the first competition.
ATHLETES MAY NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE COMPETITIVE SEASON UNTIL ALL OF THE ABOVE IS COMPLETED.

Get Familiar with the Canvas Parent App
Hilliard proudly adopted Canvas as our Learning Management System (LMS) about 10 years ago before many universities (like OSU and BGSU, just to name a couple). Fast forward to 2024 and you’ve likely seen or heard that many K12 institutions, and a myriad of colleges and universities, have also adopted Canvas. We are proud of the work our district has done with our online presence for our students, teachers, and also parents/guardians. While it’s not perfect, the Canvas Parent app has come a long way with how observers can see and better understand the tasks that are assigned to their student(s) as well as feedback being provided to them from their teachers. Canvas continues to work with districts like Hilliard to constantly improve the app experience for all of its users.
Because of our partnership with Instructure (the parent company of Canvas), we have also been able to work closely with their developers of the Parent Canvas app to make it what it is today and we warmly promote the app with our parents. If you don’t have it, we recommend going to the iOS App Store (for Apple users) or Google Play Store (for Android users) to get it and sign in to begin seeing your child’s online school environment and their progress in their Canvas courses.
