Good Afternoon Staff,
It was another great week at 2800 Walker Road. As we head into fall and the final week of the first quarter, I want to emphasize the importance of staying focused on academics. Please take time to talk with your child to ensure that all assignments, assessments, projects, etc. are complete before the end of the quarter Friday, October 11th. Remember that you can look up your child’s progress using Home Access anytime, so you never have to be in the dark about your child’s academic status.
Parent-teacher conferences will be held on Wednesday, October 16th. Please click the live link for signups or go to the Hilliard Bradley homepage. To schedule a conference, please click on a teacher’s name. We ask that you sign up for only one-time slot per teacher. Directions for signup are available on the sign-up page if needed. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to call the main office at 614-921-7400.
Beginning tonight, Hilliard Bradley Theater presents Eurydice. Please support our program and the outstanding students who have worked hard on this production. Eurydice runs on October 4th and 5th.

What is the Impact of Rising Home Values & House Bill 920 on District Revenue
Since 2016, home values in our district have increased by 89.1%, but district property tax revenue has only risen by 14.3%. This is due to House Bill 920, which was passed in 1976, which protects homeowners from significant tax increases. Unfortunately, this growth is partially offset by a $4 million reduction in state funding this year. Click HERE for more details in our Issue 39 FAQ’s.

Satisfactory student attendance is not necessarily perfect attendance, but is a 95% or better attendance rate.

Good Afternoon Jaguar Families,
It was another good week here at Bradley High School. Our students are getting settled in and doing a great job in their classes.
Next Wednesday, September 11th, we will host our annual Club Fair in the gymnasium. Please talk to your students about the importance of joining a club or activity at Bradley.
Next Saturday, 9/14, at 3:35 p.m., the Hilliard Bradley Marching Band will compete at the Hilliard Invitational in the stadium. Please come out and support our students as they put on an excellent show for our community.
Finally, homecoming will be held on Saturday, September 28th, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. on the football field. Homecoming is a Hilliard student-only event. We will share more information in the upcoming weeks about the parade, spirit week, and other activities.
Have a great weekend, and Go Jags!!!
Shout out to our Jag Times broadcast team who kicked off Start Strong September with our building-wide “Hats Off to Perfect Attendance” challenge. We encourage your students to join us and tune in to the daily news for multiple opportunities to win a Bradley hat and other prizes!
Did you know?
It’s a common misconception that missing 1 to 2 days a month is not a big deal. Actually, absences can add up quickly. A student missing 1 to 2 days a month can end up with as many as 18 days of school missed over the course of the year. That’s the equivalent of over 3 weeks of school missed!
Bradley Attendance Pro Tip:
As much as possible, schedule appointments outside of the school day.

Important Technology Reminders
Summer HomeAccess updates and the Technology Protection Plan (TPP) – If you haven’t done so already this summer, please check HomeAccess to confirm your contact information is up to date. It is especially important we have an accurate MAIN/PRIMARY phone number listed as well as an e-mail address for you. We synchronize this information across many of our systems and use this contact information to keep you up-to-date as well as important notification messages, like snow days! You can also view and sign off on the student handbook and purchase the Technology Protection Plan for any student in grades K-12. August 19 will be here sooner than you think, so why not do this all now, and not have to worry about it before the first day of school? Here are some links to help:

Canvas Accounts for Parents & How to use Canvas as a Parent or Guardian – Canvas is the online Learning Management System we use in Hilliard Schools.

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.
