Good Afternoon Jaguar Parents,

Next Monday, Bradley High School will be closed in observance of Martin Luther King Day.

On Tuesday, January 17, Beth Weinstock of Birdie Light will talk to all of our 10^thand 11^th grade students about the dangers of fentanyl. Ms. Weinstock lost her son to an unintentional fentanyl overdose in 2021. Her presentation will focus on prevention and awareness of this dangerous drug.

Mark your calendars NOW to join us for a Cross District Rivalry Basketball Game vs. Hilliard Davidson HS, Friday, January 27, 2023.  Both schools will be uniting to celebrate our Military Recognition Night during the varsity game.

Invite as many Bradley and Davidson supporters to recognize Students, Parents, Grandparents, Neighbors and Friends of both schools who are currently serving, have served or will serve as well as support our efforts in pursuing a Purple Star School designation.  ALL Military branches will be recognized this evening.

Have a great three-day weekend and Go Jags!!!

Military Appreciation Night – Basketball Game – Friday, January 27, 2023

We will be offering the Chuck a Duck 50/50 Raffle that evening with funds to be donated to a Military Cause, and hope that our Hilliard Community will come out to support this fundraising opportunity.

In addition, we are offering a Spirit week leading up to the Friday night game, designating Friday as our “camo” day.  We would love to have you join us for that theme on Friday night in our stands.

Hello Bradley families! Please consider helping the PTO with raising funds to continue our support of Bradley High School students and teachers.  Go to the bottom of the PTO website for directions to the 2 simple ways you can help.  Also, be on the lookout for a sign up to the next coffee cart in February.   We hope to see you at our next meeting on January 17, at 5pm in the front office conference room.

Thank you for your support!

Purple Star School

Bradley High School is in the process of applying for our Purple Star School designation from the Ohio Department of Education. The Purple Star Award recognizes schools that show a major commitment to students and families connected to our nation’s military. Schools that earn the award will receive a special Purple Star recognition to display on site to signify our continued commitment to recognition, fund raising and student support services for those families and students who serve or have served our country.

It is IMPORTANT that we capture you or your student’s (both past and present) military branch for future events and recognition.  As a part of these efforts, we have created a Military Resources webpage, a space for our military families to find resources. We invite you to visit the webpage and take a look around. Please fill out the form at the top of the page if you have any military experience you’d like us to recognize.

Parent Voice in Health and Math Curriculum

The Hilliard City School District’s Curriculum Department is in the midst of a multi-year curriculum revision cycle for several content areas. An important part of this process is seeking input from our parents on what is important to them in each content area. The district is seeking input on two content areas, Health and Wellness and Math.  You can read the Health and Wellness course of study by clicking here. If you are interested in providing feedback in regard to your child’s Math curriculum, please click this link and respond to a brief, two-question survey.

Parent/Guardian Book Selection Exemption Form

If you wish to request that a book or resource, not be checked out to your student from their Innovation & Discovery/Media Center, you must complete an exemption form.  You can access more information and the form by clicking here.  Each submitted form will accept up to 10 book titles/author’s names.   This exemption form is for the current school year, and will need to be filled out each year.

Good Afternoon Jaguar Parents,

Our first week back from break went well. Freshman, Sophomore and Junior scheduling meetings will begin at the beginning of February. Please talk to your students about their class choices to make sure they are making the best decisions when scheduling their classes. As we begin to build Bradley’s schedule for the 2023-2024 school year, it is important that our students make informed scheduling decisions.

Grade cards will be available January 10th. Please review your child’s grades and discuss strengths and areas of improvement in order to set goals for the third quarter. Take time to celebrate your child’s successes and continue to work with his/her respective teachers to achieve any improvement that needs to take place. This is also a good time to re-emphasize your expectations for your child for the remainder of the school year.

Finally, congratulations to Tiffany Thomas who was named the OCTELA Outstanding Language Arts Educator in the high school category. We are lucky to have Ms. Thomas as a member of our staff and we look forward to her continued success.

Have a great weekend and Go Jags!!!

Hello Bradley families! Did you know that PTO offers a $1000 scholarship to a graduating senior?  Did you know we also support families in need as well as have a hardship budget for times when teachers need special items. In the past, we have helped a class cook a Thanksgiving dinner to enjoy together.  We have also supported students who need one class to graduate through the Keystone credit program.  We provided cookies for the Celebration of Excellence and for each Senior in the spring!!  However, we are struggling to fundraise the needed money to keep these things going!  There are 2 simple things you can do to help…and it costs you nothing!

First you can link your Kroger Plus card to the Hilliard Bradley PTO. Second if you shop using Amazon, you can link your account through the Amazon Smiles Rewards Program.  Go to the bottom of the PTO website for directions.  These are two simple ways to help us get the funds we need to continue to support these (and other) needs in our Bradley community!

We will be selling spirit t-shirts at some of the home basketball games.  We have an order form ready so pre-orders can be made.

Lastly, our next meeting is January 17, at 5pm.  We hope to see some of you there!  Thank you for your support!  Brooke Germaine

-Students are not required to be here until their scheduled exam.

-Students are not required to stay after the last exam of the day.  Students will be allowed to leave after the last exam of the day at 11:00am.  If students exit the building after 11:00am, they will not be allowed to re-enter unless approved by the administration.
