Good Afternoon Jaguar Families,

It was another great week at 2800 Walker Road. I would like to begin by thanking Kathie Daniel, Karen Poling, Jeff Shumaker, Victoria Bradley, Stephane Shumaker and all of the families that donated items to help celebrate our teaching staff during teacher appreciation week. The food, drinks and other gifts that were provided to our teaching staff were greatly appreciated.

Senior parents, Wednesday, May 15th – Friday, May 17, is senior IPAD and key card turn in days. Bradley seniors will return their IPADS and key cards to the Media Center.

Next Friday, May 17th, is the senior’s last day of school at Bradley High School. The day will be full of events for our class of 2024 and we are looking forward to celebrating with them.

On Thursday, May 23rd, we will hold a senior breakfast beginning at 8:00 a.m., followed by a MANDATORY graduation practice from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Bradley field house. At the conclusion of graduation practice, seniors will be released for the day.  More graduation information can be found on the Bradley Graduation Information website and Schottenstein’s Family Guide to Graduation.

Have a wonderful weekend!  Go Jags!!!

 

Senior iPad Turn In

Senior iPad turn in will be May 15-17 in the media center. We will have you come through during your English 12 classes on May 15th and 16th. If you do not have an English class here at Bradley you will need to bring your iPad to the media center sometime before your last day, May 17th.

You will turn in your iPad, case, charging brick and charging cable.

iPads will be inspected for damage and any billable damage will need to be paid before you receive your diploma. If you know now that you have a damaged iPad we ask that you come to the media center ASAP to get that bill taken care of.

If you have any questions, please stop by the media center.

Important: See these directions if you are interested in taking any of your Hilliard data (Google drive/L drive, etc.) with you after graduation. The last day you will have access to your account is JUNE 27th, 2024.

Attendance message 

With only three weeks left in this school year, we want to offer a final thank you to our families for your commitment to helping us reduce our chronic absenteeism this year. We saw profound effects — both in academics and behavior — from students being in school regularly.  We hope your final days of the year are filled with fun and celebration, but also that students continue to hone their ability to gather, analyze, and evaluate information to problem solve and make informed decisions now and in the future! vimeo.com Check out this video to learn how and why being a Critical Thinker, a skill highlighted in our Portrait of a Learner, is key for the workforce, particularly in the field of architecture.

Senior parents, as we continue to go paperless, please access Canvas and the “Class Of” pages to get information about senior events. Please click the followinglink for information about senior activities and graduation.

It looks like a beautiful weekend ahead, and as we head into warmer days; I want to emphasize the importance of good attendance for your child. Each day at school is like a building block for their learning journey; every missed day can make a difference.  Not only does regular attendance help them academically, but it also shapes their ability to work well with others and communicate effectively. These skills are essential for their future success, whether it’s in the classroom or beyond.

Our community determined that being a Purposeful Communicator is a crucial skill for future success, which is why it is part of our Portrait of a Learner. Click here to hear from Kelli Barnes, a Hilliard parent and pharmacist, about how good communication is integral to all relationships, inside and outside the workplace.  Thank you for continuing to partner with us this year to instill good student attendance habits.

Have a great weekend!  Go Jags!!!

Good Afternoon,

It was a great week at Bradley High School. I would like to begin by congratulating the Bradley Winter Guard, under the direction of Ms. Watts, who completed their season last Saturday by capturing the Mid East Performance Association Scholastic Regional A Class Championship at the Nutter Center. The HBWG placed first out of 13 groups and, for the first time at championships, was unanimously 1st among all five judges. This is the Bradley Winter Guard’s 3rd MEPA championship (2019, 2023, 2024). Congratulations, Audrey Ahrens, Catherine Dorrian, Aly Galore, Natalie Huot, Emily Jefferson, Bex Lawrence, Tiffany Mam, Sophia Manring, Hailey Phillips, Grace Savage, Laura Togni and Emily Yu.

Next week, we will celebrate military appreciation week with a Purple Up Spirit week. We will have daily Spirit themes and host our Second Annual Muffins and Military event next Friday, April 19th. We will start at 7:45 a.m. and have various speakers until 10:15 a.m.

Next Tuesday, we will call the senior class to the gym for cap and gown pick-up. This will be the last large group meeting for seniors before we begin the pre-graduation celebrations in May.

We will administer the US History, Government, and Biology Ohio State Tests next Wednesday, April 17th. Please click on this link for more information. Spring 2024 OST Communication.

Next Friday and Saturday, the Hilliard Bradley Theater presents Sponge Bob The Musical; the show will run on April 19th and 20th. The performance on Friday will begin at 7:00pm, and Saturday’s performances will begin at 2:00 and  7:00 pm. Tickets can be purchased through Local Level. The link is on our website at www.bradleytheater.com

Finally, ​​our students and staff started counting down until the last day of school. We are so close! We encourage you to keep up the good work of having your child in school every day. Already, you have helped us stay on track for our year-end attendance goal.  So far this year, we have seen a drop in the percentage of students missing ten or more days from 57% to 52%! The number of students who are chronically absent this year is just 39%. We still have work to do, but we are grateful for your partnership in prioritizing school.

I hope everyone can spend some time with friends and family this weekend. Go Jags!
