10/2/19
Good afternoon, Belmont High School Community!
I am thrilled to announce - and to invite you to - the annual BHS Open House event! This year's Open House will take place on October 10, from 6 - 7:30pm.
This evening will be an opportunity for you to meet the talented professionals with whom your BHS student(s) are working - both this semester and when semester two has begun! Additionally, there will be 30-minute presentations in the high school's cafeteria to allow us to introduce you to various components of BHS's grading practices, to explain what you're seeing on your student's Progress Report (being mailed out this week), to take you through an overview of our student information and grading systems, and to answer questions that you may have on a systems-level.
In addition to our faculty's/staff's making themselves available to you on 10/10, the BHS Counseling Department has been working to invite a variety of local service providers for you to meet! This panel is being arranged to ensure that all members of our community are aware of the array of resources available to families and the students of BHS. After all, it's a collaborative task to ensure that each learner has the best possible opportunity to be successful! These partners include Job Corps, NH Employment Services, the Community Action Program, Work Ready NH, New Hampshire Technical Institute, and Navigating Recovery. We hope to confirm even more prior to Open House 2019!
Here is the schedule for the evening of October 10th:
- 6:00 - 6:30 Resource Fair/Panel in Cafe & BHS Faculty in Their Classrooms
- 6:30 - 7:00 Juniors and Seniors Students/Parents to Cafeteria for Info and Q&A
- (Freshmen and Sophomores/Parents visit classroom teachers)
- 7:00 - 7:30 Freshmen and Sophomores Students/Parents to Cafeteria for Info and Q&A
- (Juniors and Seniors/Parents visit classroom teachers)
As you can see, we have attempted to create a schedule that supports elements of both flexibility and structure, allowing you to move about the building and interact with our faculty for up to an hour (depending on how long you choose to network with our service providers). You also have some direct interactions with building/district administration; I'm thrilled to have an opportunity to meet as many of our parents/families as possible in this, my first year as BHS Principal!
If you are unable to attend the 10/10 Open House, rest assured that you will have additional opportunities to interact with our faculty and staff, including in just a few weeks (October 23, 2019) as the BHS Counseling Department presents a College Admissions Panel to support parents' questions around competency-based grading and admissions processes. More information will be shared regarding that evening shortly! As always, we welcome you to contact members of the BHS faculty, staff, and/or administration to ask questions, schedule opportunities to meet, and to provide your own insights on your student's education!
There is no need to RSVP for the evening of 10/10; we simply (and sincerely) hope to see you there!
See you on the 10th!
Mr. Matthew Finch
Principal, Belmont High School
