Orientation Day - Monday, August 15th
Hello BK Parents and Students!
 
The new school year is just around the corner and we wanted to let parents and students know more about the first day and week of school.

This will be a staggered start day for each class:
 
SENIORS
8:00 AM – 11:30 AM -- Meet as a Class in the Carley Center (lunch on your own)
 
JUNIORS
8:00 AM – 12:00 PM – Meet as a Class in the REG (lunch on your own)
 
SOPHOMORES
9:30 AM – 1:00 PM – Meet as a Class in the Cafeteria (lunch on your own)
 
FRESHMEN
8:00 AM – 1:15 PM – Meet as a Class in the Cafeteria (lunch provided, bring laptops)

All Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores will be going through a series of rotations that include safety and security measures, academic expectations, pictures, lockers, schedules, parking permits, archiving old files, etc.

Freshmen will also learn about our safety and security measures, academic excellence, and community time; however, their day will look a little different. They will be given an introduction course on Schoology and Google Apps. Freshmen will also get to go through a quick “meet and greet” with all of their teachers. We will be providing lunch , in the cafeteria, from 11:30pm to 12:00pm for the Freshmen only. 
School Photos
Most Freshmen had their school and yearbook photo taken at Freshman Academy. All other students, and any Freshmen who have not already been photographed will have their school photos taken on August 15th.

Pictures can be ordered through Parker Portraits:

ACTION ITEM: Fall 2022 Community Time Survey
Students and Staff. Please complete this form to help us make placements for Fall 2022 Community Time assignments. Please choose your top 6 interests based on the list provided. Do not choose the same thing more than once and do not just choose what your friends choose.

Community time was a new initiative for the 2021-2022 school year with a focus on Belonging. For the 2022-2023 School Year, Community time will take place once per week on Thursdays for 40 minutes for the duration of the semester. All students will participate in community time and will have choices on which community they belong to based on their interests. Faculty will serve as mentors and guides for the communities and will also be placed in communities based on their interests.

Please complete this form completely as soon as possible. 


Additional Information for August 15th

  • Freshmen and New Students received their class schedules at Freshman/New Student Academy. Any Freshman/New Student who did not receive a schedule will be able to get one on August 15th.
