Homework Lab📚
Welcome back, everyone! We wanted to inform you that the Homework Lab and Testing Center at BHS will be open beginning this week to provide additional support to our students. We encourage you to share this information with your respective classes and colleagues. The Homework Lab will be available on Tuesday and Thursday from 2:15 to 3:15. During this time, students can receive assistance with their homework assignments or seek guidance on any academic challenges they may be facing. To ensure a smooth and efficient process, it is required that students sign up using bookmarks before attending the lab. We recommend that they sign up before 1:00 pm to secure their spot.
We understand the importance of providing academic support to our students, and our staff is dedicated to assisting them in the Homework Lab. If any students require guidance or additional help, please encourage them to take advantage of this resource. Thank you for your cooperation and support in promoting the Homework Lab and Testing Center among our students. By working together, we can ensure that every student receives the assistance they need to succeed academically. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us.
