Just a reminder that Parent University is coming up this week! Parent University was designed to help parents learn about course selection and career planning in our high schools. We'd love for you to join us and would be glad to meet you and answer your questions. Most sessions are designed for parents of 8th graders, but new sessions have been added this year for parents of students in grades 5-7 who want overview information earlier. Please note that some sessions are more pertinent for students in grades 9-11. All are welcome, and families may attend either evening at BHS or BWHS. Both high schools will have leaders present at both events. Please call 479-254-5008 if we can answer questions about this event. We look forward to seeing you!
