Our photographers from Dorian have created a Sign Up Genius for students to reserve a time to have their picture taken. This should help reduce wait time. Go to the link below to select a time. Additional time slots will be added if necessary.

Dear Senior Parents,
Happy New Year! We hope that you all had a wonderful holiday break and are easing back into the second half of the school year. We continue to keep our fingers crossed that our Seniors will be back together again. However, we also remain realistic about the many unknowns that continue to challenge us during these times. We appreciate your continued understanding and patience as we get through this together.
Before the holidays, we provided you with an update that graduation is confirmed for Friday, June 18th and that we continue to plan and fundraise for all graduation events: Prom, Baccalaureate, Senior Breakfast, Grad Night celebrations, and Prom & Grad Night scholarships.
Thank you to all those who donated to the Gratitude Fundraiser. We were able to raise almost $4000! We are extremely grateful for your generosity and support. If you did not have a chance to donate during the month of November, our page remains open and you can donate here.
While our awesome Grad Night Co-Chairs are still planning an amazing celebration, we also recognize that there may be a possibility that a grad night event may look very different this year. The Co-Chairs are working hard with several different plans to ensure that we can still honor our Seniors. However, we have made a decision not to sell any tickets until early spring when we can have more confidence in sharing with you the type of event we will be able to hold.
Last week, Dr. Anderson sent an email with a link to purchase Caps & Gowns. Please get your orders in by January 30th (we confirmed that this is the correct date which was different from the email that students received). This is the information needed for your order:

In recent years, the Senior Class has held a Parent Auction as a fundraiser for Prom. With the restrictions in place this year, they have had to reimagine their event and will be hosting an online team-a-thon and Senior Showcase. This will be held on March 1st with a follow-up on either March 3rd or 4th. We will share more details as we receive them, but please be on the lookout for this invitation from the Seniors, and please participate, if possible. It is completely student-led and is the only major fundraiser they will be able to hold for Prom.

Happy new year junior parents!
We hope you had a nice break and were able to take some time to rest after a challenging year. We are starting off 2021 strong with a Touchbase fundraiser from January 18th to the 29th. Simply use the link (which we will provide when we get closer to the fundraiser) to donate any amount of money to the class of 2022.
After facing the many challenges of online school and missing out on quintessential high school experiences over the past year, we want to do our best to make senior year as fun as possible for our grade and put together an incredible prom. Unfortunately, this lost time at school has also meant lost time for fundraising. That being said, we need all of the help we can get from parents to make this dream a reality. We greatly appreciate any amount of money you can donate!
Thank you for supporting your kids through this challenging time! If you have any questions or comments, please email Ruby Mathis at
s-mathisr@bsd405.org
