News and Notes for Brandon High School – Summer Updates
 
 
I hope everyone is having an amazing summer!  It’s hard to believe that we only have 5 weeks left until we are back in session taking classes again.  With our minds starting to think about coming back to school, I wanted to send a quick note with some reminders and information for you to help us all prepare for the upcoming school year, as well as some things that are taking place this summer. 
 
Summer Office Hours:  The Brandon High School main office is open Monday-Friday this summer from 7:00 – 2:00 daily.  Feel free to come in during that time or call us at 248-627-1820.
 
BHS Calendar:  Please see the attached BHS calendar for upcoming important dates and events throughout the school year.  Please attempt to make all necessary appointments at times when your student will be out of school to ensure that they maximize their learning time in school.
 
Daily Schedule:  Brandon High School will be back to our traditional 6 hour daily schedule with school starting each day at 7:25 and ending at 2:20. See the attached daily schedule for a breakdown of what the school day will look like.   
 
Registration Day is August 24th – All students are invited in during registration on August 24th so that they can receive their schedules, take a tour of the building, purchase parking permits, purchase yearbooks at a reduced rate, and get their picture taken for their school ID.  Your online enrollment registration MUST be complete before this date (See attached letter).
Seniors – 8:00 – 9:30
Juniors – 9:30 – 11:00
Lunch – 11:00 – 12:00
Freshmen – 12:00 – 1:30
Sophomores 1:30 – 3:00
 
Enrollment:  Please be advised that ALL families must fill out the enrollment paperwork online for this upcoming school year (even if you have been a previous student in the Brandon School District).  See the attached enrollment letter with further instructions on how to complete this task. 
 
Work Permits:  As many of our students obtain jobs over the summer, please remember that employees mandate that you obtain a work permit.  Please see the attachment for the appropriate work permit based on our age.  You can bring it into the main office for Mr. Stevens to sign during business hours. 
 
Driver’s Training:  Brandon High School partners with Courtesy Driving School for all students looking to take Driver’s Training at any time during this upcoming school year.  Please see their website for more information https://www.courtesydrivingschool.com/
 
Medications:  Will your student be taking any kinds of medications at school (including aspirin, Tylenol, or other over the counter medications)?  If so, these must be kept on file through our main office.  Please bring them into our main office in the prescription bottle or original container that they were bought in and we will dispense these as needed during the school day.
 
Free Summer Lunch Program:  Be advised that our free summer lunch program has been extended, and is available for all Brandon students regardless of your income level.  Please see the attached letter for more information and to answer all of your questions. 
 
Safety Protocols:  Please look for an official letter coming from the Brandon School District later this summer addressing safety protocols.  This will address things like the wearing of masks, cleaning procedures, and overall safety precautions within our buildings.  Your student’s safety is our #1 priority!
 
Fall Sports:  Fall sports begin the week of August 9th.  Please make sure that you have a physical turned into the athletic office by this date in order to participate.  If you have any questions, please contact our Athletic Office at 248-627-1827 or by emailing Athletic Director Chris Deines at Cdeines@brandon.k12.mi.us.  Also, please visit our website at www.brandonblackhawks.org.
