8th Grade Parent Information Night @BHS

January 25, 2024 By cdabritz

The BHS Counseling department warmly invites Hunt and Edmunds Middle School parents and caregivers of current 8th grade students to downtown Burlington High this Wednesday January 31st from 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm for the 2024 Rising 9th Grade Parent Information Night!

Counselors will provide an overview of the class selection process to help parents/caregivers support their students through the thoughtful navigation of the Program of Studies and getting ready for high school.

Students will be invited to return to dtBHS in the spring for an open house opportunity to connect with the campus and teachers; however, this brief adult-focused session will help outline the semester ahead.

Guests should enter the campus through the main entrance on Cherry St. and meet in the downstairs Music Room (rm.143) for a 6:30 pm start. We look forward to seeing you next Wednesday!
