It’s time for spooky season! Bellevue High is celebrating Halloween this year with a crazy costume contest during 2nd period team classes on October 29th. Make sure to turn on your cameras because the most participated class gets a shoutout on the ASB Instagram and the Bellevue Bulletin.

Also, from October 28th-30th there will be a pumpkin carving expo at Bellevue High School, so we welcome you to drop off your coolest pumpkins in front of the school so they can be collected and displayed!

The College Board will be supporting "in person" Advanced Placement testing at schools this May. They are also planning to have a "contingency" testing option if schools face closures due to safety concerns.  To assist students and families CB is waiving exam cancellation fees and unused exam fees. As a result of this, we can offer a later exam payment due date to BSD families; March 1, 2021 instead of October 30th.  

Should you have any questions or need additional information please email, Lynn Semler, BHS AP Coordinator at semlerl@bsd405.org

Deadline for submitting your entries is Friday, November 20, 2020, 6 PM. Given the impact of COVID-19, the Reflections program will be run virtually this year, so we’ll accept virtual submission only. However, the actual physical art work will need to be submitted for the national entry subsequently. Visit Bellevue High PTSA Bellevue High PTSA website to learn more.

Bellevue leadership is excited to introduce the Bellevue Bulletin, a student-oriented newsletter sent out weekly to all staff and students. It will serve as a resource where they can find information on class fundraisers, club meetings, application deadlines, and more all in one place. If you have news relevant to students that you would like to submit to the Bulletin, please follow the LINK.

We are Team 949 Wolverine Robotics, and we are having a parent information night THIS FRIDAY (10/30) at 7pm on Microsoft Teams. For parents who have children new to the team, or for parents/guardians interested in helping the team out, this is a great chance to learn about what we do and what we are looking for. For returning parents, we will take this opportunity to update everyone on what this season is going to look like.

The meeting can be joined through this link. If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at contact@team949.com. 

At our school, the funding supports Signs of Suicide. Mental health counseling and screening are provided with all 7^th and 10^th grade students screened in health, helping students to balance strong academic and personal well-being. At elementary schools the funding supports computer science programming, books to reflect our cultural diversity for our classrooms and digital libraries, and training for our teacher. This year is unlike any other and with your help, BSF is also funding these critical programs; technology support needed for every child to thrive, childcare for essential workers and children facing homelessness, and Family Connection Centers to provide food and rental assistance guidance.

In addition to supporting your PTSA, I hope you’ll consider donating to the Foundation, if your family is able. Whether you can give $5 or $500, your contribution helps our students receive the best possible educational outcomes.

Please take a look at the attached slides with information about program support provided by the Bellevue Schools Foundation. You can learn more at bellevueschoolsfoundation.org.

The Bellevue Schools Foundation’s Annual Clickathon event will be held October 27^th and 28^th. All donations over $100 made on these two days will be matched 1:1. Our goal is to raise $350,000 from parents like YOU. Public funding is not enough to fund the exceptional programming that makes Bellevue Schools the best in the Nation. Donate here or at BellevueSchoolsFoundation.org to fund the following programs in our schools:

TEDxYouth@BellevueHighSchool is the only youth-led TEDx chapter in Bellevue. We aim to spark nuanced discussions in the world via inspirational and educational presentations. TEDxYouth@BellevueHighSchool was founded on the belief that young peoples’ voices are worthy of being heard, and to give young people a platform for change. Around 73% of the population has a fear of public speaking from underlying fear of judgment, the majority being young people, but many assert that they lack an environment where they can express their opinions. We offer a platform that encourages youth to raise their voices confidently.

This year’s theme is The World Is In Our Hands. Our event is an ongoing, virtual event where speakers of all ages and backgrounds present their opinions on global issues while also developing hope and dreams for the future. We hope to inspire students and the global community through meaningful, in-depth discussions. Notable speakers include Taylor Jones, Associate planner with the City of Fife, Mark Perez, Author and Speaker, and Jonathon DeYoe, author of the 2017 Amazon Bestseller Mindful Money.

Applications to become a speaker for TEDx Speaker is on our official website. Anybody with a story is eligible to apply. Member applications and sponsors are also open and welcomed.

We are accepting speakers on a rolling basis. People can click here to apply to become a speaker.
