Good Afternoon Jaguar Families,

It’s hard to believe that next week will be the start of November. This week our Sophomore and Junior students had an opportunity to attend the first ever Hilliard City School Career Expo. Our students had an opportunity to meet and talk to a number of different trade professionals and learn about possible career opportunities in their future. Our students represented Bradley well and we are looking forward to this event next school year.

I would like to take the time to thank all of our families and staff that have had an opportunity to come out and support our performing arts students this fall. Our band, choir, theatre and orchestra students have done a wonderful job starting off the year with some great performances that many of you have attended. Thank you for your support.

Finally, our football team is hosting a home playoff game against Lancaster tonight at 7:00pm, and the Jaguar marching band is playing in the OMEA State Championship hosted at Bradley High School on Saturday morning at 11:45am. We are looking forward to seeing you at these events.

Have a great weekend and Go Jags!

Counselor News – October 2021

Time is short to finish work on your common application process, remember that November 1 is a deadline for most colleges to receive financial aid.  Your application must be submitted by the November 1 deadline.

Colleges are coming to Bradley to talk about their schools.  Please sign up through Naviance, you will find the dates and time of their visits.  The school counselor web site has a link on how to complete the common application process, check it out.

The school counseling office is offer three groups to support our mental health concerns for our students.  They are the following, if you child might be of interest please contact our mental health specialist, Ms. Burgos and Mrs. O’Neil.

“JAG Social”

This group is for students who are new to Bradley, or are having trouble acclimating, and those who could benefit from opportunities to form connections with peers. This group will be (mostly) unstructured and we will have activities and conversation starters to help with peer connection, bonding, and sense of belonging. This group will take place during/immediately after students’ lunch, so ideally, it should not affect class time.

“Healthy Relationships Group”

This group will focus on ways to integrate healthy communication, boundaries, and conflict resolution into our relationships, while learning how to identify and prevent problematic unhealthy and/or abusive relationship behaviors. This group will also discuss difficult topics such as teen dating violence and assault in all forms. Because of some of the sensitive nature of our discussions, the mental health specialists will be screening membership for this group to ensure a healthy group dynamic.

“Mending Mindset”

This group will be focused on all things anxiety and learning about your mind and how to cope with anxiety.  These groups will be held once a week and will occur during the school day.  During this time, we will focus on understanding what anxiety is, where it comes from, and how to help!  Our topics will include ways to be mindful, ways to use coping strategies in our daily routines, how to problem-solve to help avoid anxiety, and more!

Online Academy Registration for Second Semester

On July 1, 2021, Governor DeWine signed House Bill 110, Ohio’s 2022-23 biennial budget, which contains a number of important changes to laws and programs that impact Ohio schools and Online Academies.

What this means for our families is that beginning with the second semester, students enrolled in our Online Academy (OA) will no longer have their home school named on their official transcripts.  OA staff will be calling all families with Seniors to discuss what this means for graduation.  These students can still graduate from their home school and receive a diploma from their high school, but the official state transcript will say Hilliard Online Academy.  Again, all senior families will get a call beginning next week.

For families interested in the Online Academy for the second semester, the registration window will open up October 25-29.  Many more details will be coming in the following weeks, but we want to give families as much time as possible to plan for the second semester.  As always, you can find more details about course offerings and all things Online Academy by clicking on this OA webpage link.

We would like to announce a new staff appreciation award that will be given to Hilliard City School employees.  The Embrace, Empower & Inspire Award will be presented throughout the school year to staff members who exemplify the values of the Hilliard City Schools and make exceptional contributions to our district.

More Destructive TikTok Challenges

We are asking for our parents help as we hear of more monthly online TikTok challenges. These challenges encourage students to participate in illegal activities such as vandalizing school property, stealing items from their building or committing assault.

Principals are having conversations with students about the consequences of these challenges.  We again are asking for your help in explaining the seriousness of these acts to your student. Vandalism to school facilities or assault will not be tolerated, and students will be disciplined with potential law enforcement involvement.  We appreciate your partnership in speaking with your child about the importance of respecting school property and others.

How to Use Parent Accounts in Canvas

Canvas is the online Learning Management System we use in Hilliard Schools. Some of the ways your child’s teacher(s) may use Canvas are: to provide links and images to important resources, to create online discussions where students can post and reply, and to receive, evaluate, and/or comment on work your child submits, digitally.  You are already enrolled as a Parent Observer in all of your child’s active Canvas courses.  To login to Canvas as a parent observer go to hilliard.instructure.com or click on the link to Canvas from our HCSD Parent page. Your parent observer username and password match your username and password for Home Access Center.  HCSD has already linked your Home Access username and password to your Canvas Parent Observer account. We have also built a Canvas course for parents to learn how to use this great instructional tool.  To Learn More click on this following link: How to Use Canvas for Parents
