VIRTUAL ACADEMY 2012-13

SHEF has awarded BHS a grant to help subsidize a "Virtual Academy at BHS" - an opportunity for our students to enroll in online courses that we do not offer in the Program of Studies. The administration has decided to open the first spots to the rising seniors. The information packet and application form are on the Guidance webpage on shsd.org - you'll be able to find an overview of the program, the requirements, a list of available courses, and an application. The administration will review applications in early June, so that notifications can be given by the end of the school year when you'd need to register for the online classes. If you have questions, then please contact Mr. Smith.
