October 10, 2023
Dear BHS Parents and Guardians:
Tomorrow, Wednesday, October 11th is PSAT/SAT Day at BHS! Students in grades 9-11 will need to have their school provided laptop, charged and ready to use for testing. Students in grade 12 will need to have a calculator for testing. We encourage all students to get a good night's rest, eat a healthy breakfast, and arrive to school prepared for testing. A grab and go lunch will be served.
Buses at dismissal will run on a late bus schedule. Students taking the PSAT will have buses at 11:00 a.m., students taking the SAT will have buses at 12:00 p.m., and any student with extended time will have buses at 2:00 p.m. The late bus routes are attached below for your review. Students will be dropped off at the closest intersection to their house.
