Welcome to Bend Senior High School!

Message from the Principal

Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students:

This is my last message of 2019, and there seems to be so much to do and to accomplish before school lets out for Winter Break.On my way to Bend High today, as I thought of that long to-do list, I took my foot off the accelerator for a moment and thought “why the rush?” I was reminded to slow down and enjoy the spirit of the season and all the great students, staff, parents and community we have here at Bend High School. Bend High is a special place and one of PHENOMENAL culture! I wish you all a safe and happy holiday season! May you too take a moment to let off the accelerator and enjoy your family and friends this time of year.

We had a VERY successful Fall Sports season. Our teams accomplished awesome things and we are so proud.I would like to congratulate ALL the fall athletes and coaches.YOU ARE A TESTIMATE TO BEND HIGH!You epitomize character and what it means to be competitors! Thank You!

Items of interest:

• Winter Sports: Our Winter season is here and I encourage you to see if there are any activities that might be a fit for your son/daughter. Sports/Activities this season include:Nordic Skiing for boys and girls, Alpine Skiing for boys and girls, Basketball for boys and girls, Swimming for boys and girls, Wrestling, Bowling, Equestrian
• Future Center: It is safe to say we have one of the best Future Centers in Oregon. A huge thank you toes out to Tami Holt, Anita Moore and parent volunteers. If you are a parent of a senior, they have already been informed and mentored through the center. However, there are a number of opportunities for college scholarships that are available in the Future Center that they may not be aware of. Please encourage your son/daughter to make frequent stops in the center to get updates on the most recent opportunities.
• Holiday Music Performances: Wow…if you have not come to one of our Holiday performances, put it on your calendar this December!

Band December 10^th at 7:00 pm (Auditorium)

End of Semester: The end of the first semester will be Friday Jan 31^st (no school). During the week of Jan 27^th – 30^th , though we will be on a normal bell schedule, we will be asking teachers to administer a culminating activity.. Permanent grades will be issued at the end of 1^st Semester.Until then we are asking you to look at ParentVue for your son or daughter’s progress grades.If you have any questions about how your student is performing in class, or ParentVue has not been updated in awhile, please do not hesitate to call or email your student’s teacher.
