Good Afternoon Jaguar Families,

I would like to thank all of our families that donated to assist our PTO’s morning coffee cart for this week. The entire Bradley staff greatly appreciated all of the treats and snacks that made Wednesday’s morning special.

First-quarter report cards will be distributed electronically via Home Access. The first quarter grades will be available Friday, October 21st at 4 p.m. Please review your child’s grades and discuss strengths and areas of improvement in order to set goals for the second quarter. Take time to celebrate your child’s successes and continue to work with their respective teachers to achieve any improvement that needs to take place.

Finally, tomorrow the building will be closed in observance of COTA Day. Please enjoy the great weather and time with friends and family.

Have a Great Weekend and Go Jags!!!

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.

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. Canvas is great for some scores and individual assignment feedback, but HAC should be used for final scores and Grading Period grades. To monitor students’ daily classwork grades, look at the Classes tab.   You can learn more by clicking here.
