CLASSES RESUME

TUESDAY, JANUARY 3rd!

Happy New Year

The Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School faculty and staff wish you a very happy and healthy new year! We appreciate your continued support and look forward to serving the communities, especially Brecksville and Broadview Heights students and families, in 2023.

We also wanted to share the most recent CAPA newsletter with families directly, as at-risk behavior related to substance use is elevated with many New Years' Eve gatherings and parties. Please take a moment to review this month's community newsletter, as it includes many talking points that you can use with your student to help combat underage substance usage. Help keep all of our Bees safe and start the new year in the healthiest way possible!
