New     FOOTBALL GAME "RED OUT FOR HURRICANE SANDY RELIEF"

The Bernards Football Game vs. Governor Livingston High School has officially been scheduled for Saturday, November 10th at 6 pm at New Providence High School.  The Governor Livingston Athletic Honor Society will be collecting cash donations (suggested 3$/person) to provide relief for communities and schools suffering from the devastating impact of Hurricane Sandy.  Bernards and GL fans are encouraged to all wear red as a sign of two communities working together through these challenging times.  I hope that you will come support our Mountaineers on Saturday and participate in the "Red Out for Hurricane Sandy Relief"

NHS PEER TUTORING PROGRAM 2012-13
The National Honor Society members offer an in-school tutoring program for any high school students who need extra help in their classes. Students who need extra help will be matched with a NHS member who will meet them once a week during a shared free period. This weekly meeting will continue as long as the student needing help stays in contact with their matched NHS member. If any student is interested in being matched with a tutor, they are to fill out the NHS Tutoring Form and return it to either Ms. Peppe (tpeppe@shsd.org) or Dr. Hogge (jhogge@shsd.org). Click here for a copy of the form.

ATTENTION SENIORS:  COMMON APP AND NAVIANCE

Please make sure that you create a Common Application account - Mr. Smith sent information to all seniors in early August; if you didn't get that email, please check your Naviance account and provide the correct email address, if applicable. After you create the Common App account, you can then link that account with your Naviance account so that you can request transcripts - there is no more black book! On the Guidance web page, there is a presentation available (TRANSCRIPT REQUEST GUIDE, under the "College/Application Materials" folder)) to walk you through the process of combining your accounts. Click here to access the Transcript Request Guide.
