Today will be early dismissal at 1:53 p.m. and NO SCHOOL TOMORROW, Friday, October 23rd.
TODAY, the 8th graders only will be taking the PACT. The PACT includes four tests that cover English, Math, Reading, and Science. The PACT helps students explore their academic strengths and interests and provides information that can help them as they begin to make the transition to BHS. Last week during their SEL lesson with Mrs. Burris, 8th graders learned about test taking strategies and how Thursday will help prepare them for taking the PACT and ACT at BHS.
Please encourage them to do their best on Thursday!
