August 2018
Welcome to the 2018-2019 School Year, Tigers! We are excited to begin another fantastic year at B-EHS, preparing ALL students for college – 1, 2, 4 or more! The 20182019 school year is set to build on the work that we have done around creating a culture of college- and careerreadiness, while continuing fantastic opportunities like the October 10th “Super Wednesday” PSAT test for all 10th and 11th graders, the Smarter Balanced Assessment for 10th graders in the Spring, and the Washington Comprehensive Assessment of Science for 11th graders in the Spring. Our focus this year continues to be connections – connections with students, parents, and partners throughout the community. Through our strong connections, we encourage all students to attend school each and every day. We have systems designed to connect with our 9th grade students, supporting them throughout this pivotal first year of high school. Strong connections support equity, providing a high-quality education for all students, preparing them with the skills to succeed in college and in careers after high school. Our goals emphasize that B-EHS graduates will be equipped with the fundamental skills to succeed in continued education or training beyond high school. As a reminder, B-EHS operates on an alternating Block Schedule. Students are enrolled in eight classes, with four classes meeting each day for just under 90 minutes each. Periods 1-4 are on Blue Days. Periods 5-8 are on Gold Days. This schedule increases opportunities for students to take courses that meet their particular goals and needs. Students will attend Advisory and then all 8 periods on Wednesday, September 5th – the first day of school. The first Blue day periods one through four – will be on Thursday, September 6th. This year we will continue our Wednesday Tiger Time (every Wednesday beginning September 12th and running through May 29th), providing an opportunity for B-EHS staff members to collaborate, review student achievement data, and plan together, while also providing students an opportunity for extra tutoring or to participate in clubs or activities. On Tiger Time days, students will be dismissed from their last class period at 1:30pm. While busses will be available to transport students home, we encourage students to take advantage of this time to get extra assistance from our support staff with homework, projects or assignments. We will also have several clubs or activities available to students. Busses will be available at 2:30pm, as well. Picture Day & Schedules All students are required to have their photo taken for ASB and school safety procedures. Students are not required to purchase pictures. Here are the dates/times for Picture Days: • • •

Schedules will be available online via Skyward’s Student Access for all students. Additionally, students will receive a copy of their schedules in Advisory on the first day of school. Students who have outstanding fines from last school year will need to settle these fines before they can purchase an ASB card. Fines can be paid with the ASB Bookkeeper in the Athletic Office. Athletic Office hours are noted below. 1

Counselors We welcome two experienced counselors new to our B-EHS Counseling team this year. In addition to our long-time B-E counselors Laural Ringler and Darcy Taylor, we welcome Kip Jones and Ellen Masten to our staff. Here’s how students will be served: • • • •

Counselor appointments are available for those students with “See Counselor” noted on their schedule. Students may be scheduled into particular courses based on their prior academic performance, state test scores and/or teacher, parent, counselor, or administrator recommendation. Schedule changes after the first two weeks of the semester will be made for extenuating circumstances and with administrator permission only. Please fill out the online form or contact Ms. Padilla at 757-3354 to schedule an appointment. Counseling Office hours are noted below. B-EHS makes every effort to help all students meet the state standards for achieving a high school diploma. Additional information to note: •
Freshmen Orientation for ALL 9th GRADERS: Orientation is scheduled for August 29th from 9:00am – 12:00pm. Activities will include school pictures, ASB and Yearbook purchases, school tours, ice breaker activities/mentorship program, club fair and schedule distribution. Students are encouraged to arrive early, as activities will begin promptly in the Gym. We strongly encourage all incoming 9th graders to attend.
•
ASB Cards ($35.00) and Parking Permits ($20.00) may be purchased in the cafeteria on Picture Day (one check made out to B-EHS, please). Students may come into the Athletic Office to purchase their ASB cards and parking permits prior to picture day, if they choose. All students driving to school must purchase a parking pass. Students are prohibited from parking on the south side of campus (on or south of Victoria St.) As parking spaces are limited, preference will be given to juniors and seniors who have a valid driver’s license and proof of insurance on picture day.
•
Yearbooks: Students may purchase a yearbook on Picture Day for the discounted price of $50.00. The yearbook captures memories of the entire school year - all the sports, clubs, activities and academics. Yearbook prices will increase to $60.00 after January. A single check can be used to pay for the ASB Cards, Parking Permits, and Yearbook.
•
Senior Portrait Deadline: The deadline to submit senior portraits to the yearbook this year is Wednesday, October 31st. Digital pictures should be 1.75" wide by 2.25" high at 300 dpi. Digital pictures can be emailed to yearbook@be.wednet.edu. Students may also drop off a print in the Athletic Office.

Tiger Tips for Success •
Read through the Student Handbook – Students will receive their handbooks on the first day of school. These handbooks are filled with information on everything from attendance procedures to dress code policies.
•
Time in class is valuable – We work bell-to-bell during each class period. Encourage students to make the most out of each class period.
•
Attendance Every Day! – Students who miss school – whether excused or not – are at a higher risk for failure. Encourage students to be in class every day and ensure that vacations, appointments, etc. do not conflict with the student’s school day (7:50am – 2:30pm).
•
Independence and Responsibility – Students need to have a working alarm clock (maybe two or three alarms spaced around their room!). Students love to use the excuse that "my mom/dad did not wake me up." We want to remove excuses and promote student independence and responsibility.
•
Morning Routines and Breakfast – We encourage students and parents to map out their morning routines, minute by minute. Make expectations clear and make sure everyone is on the same page. Be sure to allow time to eat some breakfast. Studies consistently show that students who eat breakfast learn faster and retain more information then students who do not eat breakfast. A good morning routine starts with some work the night before – make sure that the lunch is made, the clothes are laid out, and the homework is in the backpack.
•
Television and Video Games – Take the TV and video games out of the bedroom. Students need their sleep to be successful in school. There are good programs to install on computers that limit game time and Internet access. Make sure all devices are powered down and shut off at about 10:00pm.
Remember, the 4 years of high school will solidify a student's trajectory for the next decade. The investments made now will pay off in dividends for their future personal and financial independence. Looking forward to this school year together,
