As a reminder, Wolverine Guard Awards are for students who donate 100+ hours in a school year from May 1 to April 30. Mid-winter and spring breaks can be a great time to put in extra hours ahead of the April 30th application deadline. For reminders on the WG guidelines and access to the necessary forms, go the WG website, https://www.bellevuehighptsa.com/wp/bhs-ptsa-funded-programs/2020-2021-wolverine-guard/.

As we stated above, we are here to help. We regularly post volunteer ideas in the Bellevue Bulletin, so be watching for those. And don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions about whether a certain volunteer activity will count toward WG or if you need help brainstorming or problem solving or if you have issues with submitting your WG application. We can be reached at wolverineguard@bellevuehighptsa.com.

Athletes for most sports must have a current concussion baseline ImPACT test completed to participate (valid for two years). Sports that do not require ImPACT testing are: Badminton, Drill Team, Swim Only, Tennis, Golf, or Track & Field (except Pole Vault requires the ImPACT test). Students participating in any other sport should be sure they have a current ImPACT test on file. You can see if your ImPACT test (or your sports physical) is expired by logging in to your FinalForms profile (https://bellevue-wa.finalforms.com/).

This is a reminder email to families with students who will be taking advanced placement exams to be aware of the payment deadlines. This year the payment deadline is March 1^st. If you have already made your payment – thank you. The College Board is allowing full refunds if your student decides against taking the exam however we still require full payment for the exams they’ve registered for no later than March 1^st.

How to pay? Similar to last year families will use the “shop method” on our school’s payment processing system. I’ve included the link here; https://touchbase.bsd405.org/ below with detailed instructions as an attached pdf. 

If your student did not register for the exam during the regular registration window and would like to register for an exam, please contact Lynn Semler, AP Coordinator at semlerl@bsd405.org as soon as possible and no later than March 1^st. Exam fees during this late registration period are now $130 per exam.

Students on fee waivers are to notify the school accountant, Cathy Lanning at lanningc@bsd405.org if they intend to take the exam. If notified, fees are waived. If not notified NO Exam is Ordered. Late exam fees are NOT fee waiverable.

Inability to pay should not be a reason for a student not taking an exam. Scholarship opportunities are available for families and students who would benefit from financial assistance but who are not on the fee waiver program. Scholarship forms are included as an attachment. Completed forms to be submitted to either the student’s counselor or Lynn Semler, semlerl@bsd405.org prior to February 12^th .

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. 

*What we currently know. All dates/times are subject to change. For a more detailed calendar, please download this link.

Again, we will keep you posted on any additions or changes along the way. Please feel free to reach out to us at bellevuehs2021@gmail.com if you have any questions/comments/concerns. We would love to hear from you.

If you have not had a chance to donate to graduation events, our page remains open and you can donate here. We are extremely grateful for your generosity and support.
