Updates from BHS Counseling/Guid Dept – Week of June 15, 2020

6/14/2020

 
WE ARE ENTERING THE LAST FULL WEEK OF THE VERY UNUSUAL 2019-20 SCHOOL YEAR. No new assignments will be given to students in any courses this week and students can focus on completing any makeup work in a class or doing optional class options. This will be the last Counseling/Guidance Weekly Update for this school year. Counselors are here to help out, support, and problem-solve with students and parents until June 23, then they too will be off for summer vacation.

Here is a repeat of the final messages to finish out the school year:
End of School, 2019-20 In a typical school year, we lose the last week or so of school for final examinations, make-ups, and a last day of school with brief meetings of each class. News flash: this is not a typical year.
Here is our BHS plan for finishing school that includes important student retrieval of personal items and return of school textbooks, uniforms, and the like.
* Monday 6/15-Friday 6/19: Review and make-up; also, retrieval of student belongings and return of school items. (See below.)
* Monday 6/22-Tuesday 6/23: Last days of school with schedules for all classes to meet:
​
Monday 6/22​                            Tuesday 6/23
10:00-10:45 Z Block                 10:00-10:45 D Block
11:00-11:45 A Block                 11:00-11:45 E Block
1:00-1:45 B Block                     1:00-1:45 F Block
2:00-2:45 C Block                     2:00-2:45 G Block
