Good Afternoon Jaguar Families,
Homecoming is here! Tonight’s homecoming game against Upper Arlington High School starts at 7:00 p.m. Due to potential rain storms, the homecoming dance will be in the gym tomorrow, September 28th, from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. Please remind your students to download their tickets and bring a picture ID.
I ask all of you to please talk to your sons/daughters about drinking and drugs. Many students may be asked to attend parties before and after the dance. If your child is attending a party, please make sure there will be parent supervision and that there are no drugs or alcohol. A simple phone call can save a life. We want all of our students to have a great weekend, and it’s critical that everyone remains safe.
Parent-teacher conferences are on Wednesday, October 16th, from 2:45-7:00 pm. Please go to the Hilliard Bradley homepage and click the signup link that will go live at noon next Wednesday, October 2nd. To schedule a conference, please click on a teacher’s name. We ask that you sign up for only one-time slot per teacher. Directions for signup are available on the sign-up page if needed. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to call the main office at 614-921-7400.
Have a great weekend! Go Jags!!!
Attendance
We have been focusing on good attendance patterns in the district, but what exactly is a satisfactory attendance rate? Satisfactory student attendance is not necessarily perfect attendance, but is a 95% or better attendance rate. As we are nearing the end of Start Strong September, we want to remind families that although our goal is 95% or better, we want 100% of our students to be successful!
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!
