Good Afternoon Jaguar Families,

Homecoming is here! Tonight’s homecoming game against Upper Arlington High School starts at 7:00 p.m. The homecoming dance is tomorrow, September 24th, from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m on the football field. Students, please remember to download your ticket and bring a picture ID.

I ask all of you to please talk to your sons/daughters about drinking. Many students may be asked to attend parties before and after the dance. If your child is attending a party, please make sure there will be parent supervision and that there is no drinking. A simple phone call can save a life. We want all of our students to have a great weekend, and it’s critical that everyone remains safe.

This past Saturday, the Bradley Marching Band competed in the Bands of America Regional Championship held at Fortress Obetz. The competition consisted of 23 bands from around Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky. Bradley was one of the 12 bands that scored high enough in prelims to be named a Finalist, and ended up finishing 8th in Finals.

This was the 5th time Bradley has competed in a Bands of America event, and the 3rd time they have advanced to finals.

Their next competition is Saturday, 10/1 at Tippecanoe High School in Tipp City.Congratulations to the students and staff of the Hilliard Bradley Marching Band.

Have a Great Weekend and Go Jags!!!

Parent Help with Home Access Center

Home Access Center Gradebook – Although many scores for student work can be found in Canvas, we want to remind families to use Home Access Center as the definitive source for student grades.

To monitor students’ daily classwork grades, look at the Classes tab.   You can learn more by clicking here.

Good Afternoon Jaguar Parents,

It was another great week here at Bradley High School. We continued to be impressed with the work our students and staff are doing inside and outside of the classroom.

Next Wednesday, September 14, we will be holding an open house here at Bradley high school.  From 5:30pm-6:00pm we will hold a senior parent only meeting hosted by our college coordinator Mr. Tom Woodford and Assistant Principal Mr. Cort Hamilton in the PAC to talk about the college admissions process and senior dates. Beginning at 6:00pm we will hold a traditional open house where parents will have an opportunity to walk your students’ schedules and meet their teachers from 6:00pm-7:30pm. Make sure to print a copy of your students schedule. Paper schedules will not be provided. Click the following link to view the class schedule for the night.

We would like to recognize our acapella group Shades of Blue. In March, Shades of Blue was invited to perform at the National A Cappella Convention in Orlando, Florida. They were featured on the high school a cappella showcase presenting a three-song set. Over the next few weeks, Shades will be releasing the videos from that performance. Their performance of Gold featuring Audrey Brown is currently available on YouTube! You can watch it here! https://youtu.be/WXrO1oqkjfk

Finally, I would like to thank Assistant Principal Mr. Walton and our staff for putting together a successful Club Fair today during our lunch periods. It was great to see our students and staff working together to increase involvement in the many school clubs and activities that we have to offer here at Bradley.

Thank you for your continued support.  Have a great weekend and Go Jags!!!

Parent Help with Canvas

Canvas is the online Learning Management System we use in Hilliard Schools. Your child’s teacher(s) may use Canvas in a variety of ways.  Some examples are: to provide access to important resources, to create online discussions where students can post and reply, and to receive, evaluate, and/or provide feedback on work your child submits digitally.  As a parent, 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 www.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.
