BHHS News Details

Earlier this week the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services updated its epidemic order to allow re-opening of all non-contact sports and activities. Extracurriculars are allowed to resume as long as the activity can be done while wearing a mask and without physical contact.  According to the FAQ provided by the state, "All extracurricular activities are permitted, except those that involve physical contact among participants or where masks cannot be worn.” The new order is effective Saturday, Jan. 16 and will last until Sunday, Jan. 31.  

Clubs and co-curricular activities will be allowed to resume assuming that all of the guidelines in the order can be followed. Please see the Epidemic Order FAQ for further clarification.

The purpose of the Final Experience is to allow an opportunity for students who are performing below their typical or desired level to demonstrate they have met appropriate standards for an improved grade or “Pass” for the course.  The Final Experience will take place January 26-January 29. 

Friday, January 22 and Monday, January 25 are designated as student support days for those pursuing a grade improvement or who need support for the final experience. There is no formal attendance taken on these days except for those students that teachers have requested to see or those students that have requested to see a teacher. Teachers will inform their students of the format for the support days and how to best utilize their time.  

Tuesday, January 26 - Friday, January 29:

This week is designated for the final experience opportunity. Please see the attached schedule for the details of this week. Students will only need to attend the class periods that they are participating in a Final Experience.

During the month of January our school will administer a round of FastBridge assessments. FastBridge assessments are designed to be quick, efficient, valid and reliable.  Universal screeners can help us as educators identify to what extent a problem may be occurring for a specific student.  At the high school level, Fastbridge will allow us to assess in the area of Social-Emotional learning. 

We understand that student success is a result of many factors.  We also understand that behavior and academic success are intimately connected and need to be intelligently addressed together.  We want to take this opportunity to look at the whole child.  

Your child will take the mySAEBRS screener which stands for social, academic, and emotional behavior screener.  The information from these assessments will be used to support your child in the best possible way, while looking at the whole child.
