Good Afternoon Jaguar Families,

It was another great week at Bradley High School. It is hard to believe that we are beginning the final quarter of the school year.

Please remember to submit a baby picture for your senior. The photos will be used for our end-of-year slideshow, and will be shown during graduation. If your student has not submitted their photo through Canvas, please email their photo to Cindy_Cote@hboe.org.

Finally, congratulations to our art students who had 26 art pieces chosen for the Regional level of the Governor’s Youth Art Show.  The exhibit is at the McConnell Arts Center.  The opening and awards are on Thursday, March 27, 2025.  Our student artists included in the exhibit are Sydney Thress, Adrianna Merriman (3), Meagan Kraft, Emily Kabalan (2), Justin Sasaki, Sara Ahmed, Hanna Hammond (4), Hailey Potts, Lucy Buscher, Adrianna McClung (2),  Allison Mayberry, Faith Michel, Kaitlyn Alig, Lulu Muamar, Kat Oakley, Abigail George, Gracyn Hansley, Matt Sapp, and Jaycie Scorese.

This week, over 400 of our Junior students took the SAT exam on Wednesday. We are excited to see the results and celebrate our students’ growth.

Good luck to Audrey Slivka, Maddie Smith and Kelly Lemons who will compete in the OHSAA State Wrestling Championships at The Schott this weekend. The girl’s bowling team will be competing in the OHSAA bowling state championship today at 10:00 am for the second time in school history. Good luck Kay Butcher, Cameryn Gale, Rachel Johnson, Avery Hinton, Natalee Kamn, and Hayli Patterson.

Finally, as we conclude the third quarter, please review your child’s grades and discuss strengths and areas for improvement 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 be made.

Have a great weekend! Go Jags!!!

Reach Out for Support if Needed

If you’re facing challenges getting your child to school—whether it’s related to transportation, internet access, food, or other issues—let someone at the school know and we can try to help and connect you to resources.

 

Attention Junior Students and Parents

Per Ohio state law, the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce will be paying for one administration of a college readiness examination to all juniors.  For this school year, Hilliard City Schools has chosen the SAT for our students.  On March 5th, all juniors (according to their grade in Home Access) will have the opportunity to take the SAT test at their home building.  This date was pre-assigned by the state and SAT.  Students will report to school as normal, and the district will mimic the administration procedures typically enforced at a national, Saturday administration of the SAT.  Below is additional information that will be helpful on both test day and leading up to test day.  Please contact your building counselor’s office for additional questions or clarification.

Students will NOT need to register individually; we have registered students at the district level directly with SAT.

•  All SAT test security measures will be in place for this state assessment.  Students should be prepared NOT to bring their cell phones into the testing location, and should have proper identification with them. (Current school ID, driver’s license, state ID, etc.)
• Students who are found to be in violation of the “No Cell Phone” rule may have their phone confiscated, and face additional discipline consequences, including possible suspension.
• Students should have done the pre-administration portion of the test PRIOR to test day.  If you have not yet completed this stop and see Mrs. Wintrich in student services.
• Students can bring an SAT approved calculator to the test administration.  There is a desmos graphing calculator embedded in the platform. (Calculator information linked hereLinks to an external site..)
•  Students should be able to see their scores from the state administration in their SAT college board account approximately 2 weeks from the test date.
• Please check the College Board website for specific questions:

https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/Links to an external site.

*Note: this is a remote learning day for all other students so when your test is complete you are free to go home.* The standard time test takes a little over two hours and accommodations if used could add some time to that number.  Once your test has been formally submitted you are finished for the day.

New Preschool Location

As part of Phase 1 of our Master Facilities Plan, we are excited to share that the future home of Hilliard City Schools’ new preschool will be on the Britton Norwich campus, connected to Norwich Elementary. This location will provide a welcoming, accessible space for our youngest learners while keeping them connected to the broader school community.

While this is an important milestone, we want to emphasize that there is still much work to be done. Our team is carefully considering key factors such as traffic flow, parking,  pedestrian safety, playground design, and bell schedules to ensure a safe and efficient environment for students, staff, and families. Additionally, we are working closely with the City of Hilliard and Norwich Township Fire Department to address environmental and safety concerns, ensuring that the project aligns with all regulations and best practices.

Good Afternoon Jaguar Families,

As we head into the long weekend, I would like to thank our families who donated this quarter to the PTO staff coffee cart. Our staff truly appreciates the support shown by our amazing families here at Bradley.

This week Bradley had a great showing at this year’s Central Ohio’s bridge-building competition.  We had 5 teams in the top 10 including 1^st and 2^nd place.  Over 170 teams were registered and attended. Congratulations Jags on this wonderful accomplishment.

On Wednesday, March 5th, from 7:40 am to 12:00 pm, we will administer the SAT to all Junior students. Students not taking the SAT will work remotely from home for the day. We will send more information about the day’s activities as we get closer to the date.

Finally, Bradley High School will be closed on Friday, February 14th, and Monday, February 17th. Students will resume classes on Tuesday. I hope everyone enjoys their time with friends and family over the next few days.

 

Have a great weekend, and Go Jags!

Bradley Theater Presents Our Spring Musical – “Into the Woods”!

While “Into the Woods” draws inspiration from familiar fairy tales, it delves deeper than simple good versus evil. Stephen Sondheim’s masterful lyrics and James Lapine’s insightful book explore complex themes of family, responsibility, and the consequences of our choices. The characters, both human and mythical, grapple with the realities of life – loss, disappointment, and the importance of facing the unknown. “Into the Woods” is a poignant reminder that life rarely follows a predictable path, and that even in the darkest of times, hope can be found.

The Importance of Attendance & Staying Healthy

As we navigate the winter flu season, we want to remind you of the importance of regular school attendance. Every day counts, and showing up is essential for your child’s social and academic growth.

Thank you for your support in balancing health and education!
