School News

On June 1, 2012, 8th grade students will be attending an orientation program at BHS.  Students will be introduced to members of the high school staff and administration while becoming familiar with various aspects of high school life.  Click here for more information.  It is our hope that this program will assist students with the transition process and help them to begin their high school experience with confidence and enthusiasm.  Please note that 8th graders go directly from their homes/buses to BHS that morning. Eighth grade teachers will meet our eighth grade students at the high school for their return trip to BMS at 9:45 AM.
 
Parents of current 8th grade students are cordially invited to attend 8th Grade Parents Night on June 6, 2012 from 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM in the PAC at Bernards High School.  Click here for a letter from Ms. Cooley, BHS principal. The presentation will highlight the positive atmosphere, varied extracurricular offerings and expected protocols of the high school.  The high school administration will share their philosophy, which will enable new high school students to transition well into the high school and to achieve success once they are here.  Parents will also be treated to a tour of the facility following the presentation.
 
SHEF has initiated its 4th annual end of year Staff Tribute Program where parents can make a donation to SHEF in the name of a SHSD staff member.  Mail your donations by May 25th.  Click here for further information and the donation form.
