Welcome to Bend Senior High School!

Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students:

I hope you all had a very relaxing and enjoyable spring break. I cannot believe that we are already at this point in the school year. The next three months will be very busy. This home stretch will fly by and there will be a lot of important items in the weeks to follow. I am excited about the spring sports season and all the activities that happen this time of year. There are too many of those events to list but they are on this website. Please take a look at the calendar of events and join us if you can. I cannot express enough my thankfulness for all the support I have received this year. Bend High is a PHENOMENAL community made up of wonderful students, staff and parents.

END OF 3^rd QUARTER:
April 12^th marks the end of 3^rd Quarter. These are progress grades. Please check ParentVue for your student’s progress. Grades should be posted by Monday April 15^th, if not sooner.

Parent Teacher Conferences:
We will not have formal parent teacher conferences on April 18^th. If you need to speak with a teacher, you can find their contact info on our web site.

MR. BSH:
It is that time of year again. Our very own Mr. BSH Pageant. What a great evening and culminating event. These guys raise a lot of money for a great cause. Please come and cheer on your favorite Mr. BSH participant on Thursday, April 4^th @ 6p in the Auditorium. See you there!

ACT:
What an AWESOME opportunity for all of our juniors. Tuesday April 2^nd is ACT day and we will be testing all of our 11^th grade students. This is the actual ACT that juniors can use for university admission and NCAA Clearinghouse. Best part is that the test is free. There will be a make-up day on April 24^th if students cannot make the April 2^nd date.

PROM:
Friday, April 12^th from 8-11p @ Riverhouse Convention Center

TESTING/ASSESMENTS:
This is a very busy month with assessments of students. We will be administering IB testing, CTE testing, ACT, ACT ASPIRE and not to mention Smarter Balanced. Smarter Balanced is the state test to measure Essential Skills. Students must pass these tests to graduate. If they do not pass they can still graduate by showing proficiency through work samples and/or other testing options. Please ask your students about testing this month.

Even though I enjoy my breaks, it is always nice to come back to Bend High. It is like a home away from home. THANK YOU EACH AND EVERY ONE!

HAVE AN AWESOME APRIL! GO BEARS!
