FREE COLLEGE! Okay. So now that we have your attention, we want to make sure you plan to attend the BJSHS Early College Information Night, which is set for next Tuesday, Sept. 26 at 6 p.m. in the BJSHS Media Center. Our presenters will lay out all the ins and outs of our Early College program, including: What's Early College? What's required from students and families? Can students actually graduate from high school with a two-year college degree or skilled trades certification? (Spoiler alert: Yes.) Is it really free for participating students? (Spoiler alert: Yes.) Beaverton Early College represents an excellent and affordable way for your student to get a jump on college, a career, or both at no cost to families. Please plan to join us for an informative introduction to Early College that may just provide exactly what your son or daughter needs to launch a satisfying, successful career. If you have any questions, please contact Misty Johnson at mjohnson@beavertonschools.net or 989.246.3010, ext. 1338. See you then!
CMU audiology doctoral students were at Beaverton high school this week to visit the 9th graders during their project on human hearing! These students had a wealth of information to share with Mrs. Sprague's science classes, and may have inspired some future audiologists! Thank you to the CMU audiology doctoral program for sending awesome groups of students once again! #fireupchips

ACADEMIC AFTER SCHOOL: BJSHS Students, do you need help with homework, writing a paper, or studying for a test? Do you need a quiet place to read? Academic after school begins Monday, September 11th! Grab a snack from the cafeteria and head to Ms. Coughlin's room. It's early in the 1st marking period, but it's never too early to make sure you are staying caught up in all of your classes. Academic after school will run Mondays and Wednesdays in Ms. Coughlin's room and Tuesdays and Thursdays in Mrs. Fischer's room from 3:20-4:20. You will need to make sure you have a ride home. See Mrs. Hargrove if you have any questions!
SAFER AND STRONGER: With the passage of our bond proposal in 2021, Beaverton Schools affirmed its commitment to a safer, more secure campus with the improvements that would follow. Today's safety drills marked another step in honoring that pledge to protect our kids. Students and staff trained to properly deploy The Boot, a system designed to alert the entire campus in the event of an emergency, lock down each building and prevent intruders from entering the classroom. Available in each classroom throughout the district, The Boot is a barricade and alarm system that can withstand 16,000 pounds of pressure while alerting administrators and law enforcement that a lockdown is underway. Today, staff and students observed a safety demonstration and then practiced proper procedures in the event The Boot is necessary. (BES kids also got to meet safety mascot Bobby The Boot.) Learn more about this latest Beaverton Schools safety measure at bit.ly/3qYOCLw and watch this space for more safety information soon. #SafeAndSound #GoBeavers
