Good Afternoon Jag Families,
I would like to thank everyone who came out to support our students’ performance of Eurydice. It was wonderful to see many of our families, students, and staff during the troops’ first-weekend performance of the school year.
Parent-teacher conferences will be held next Wednesday, October 16th. Please click the live link for signups or go to the Hilliard Bradley homepage. 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.
On October 23rd, we will administer the PSAT10 for all of our sophomore students and the NMSQT for our junior students who have pre-registered. We will operate on a testing delay schedule on this day. We will send out a separate email with more information next week.
Finally, next Friday the building will be closed in observance of COI Day. Have a great weekend and Go Jags!
ATTENDANCE
Did you know?
Did you know? Chronic absence in Ohio is a student missing 10% more of the school year for any reason. Research shows that missing 10% of the school year, or approximately two days a month, negatively affects a student’s academic performance.
Advanced Placement (AP)
AP (Advanced Placement) Exam Registration is now open! If you (or your student) are currently in an AP course, please register to take the exam on MyPaymentsPlus. Taking the AP Exam and getting a qualifying score helps students save time and money by earning college credit or advanced placement, which allows them to skip introductory college courses. Most colleges grant credit, advanced placement or both for qualifying AP Exam scores.
- The registration window is 9/25/24 – 10/25/24
- Each AP exam is $99
- Students who qualify for free/reduced lunch have a fee of $53 per exam
See Mrs. Buscemi or Mrs. Wintrich in guidance with any questions!
