Financial Aid Night FAFSA

The FAFSA application will open on October 1st for submission for all graduating Class of 2022 members. On Monday, October 3rd, the BBHHS School Counseling Office and College Now will host a Financial Aid Night (FAFSA NIGHT) at 7:00 p.m in the High School Auditorium to help families understand how to complete this form. This program is targeted primarily at parents of Seniors, but all BBHHS parents are invited to begin learning about applying for financial assistance for post-secondary educational opportunities.

A financial aid officer will be present to help families navigate common financial aid forms (FAFSA and the CSS Profile) required for obtaining financial assistance from the Department of Education for post-secondary learning. The financial aid officer will help families to understand this process while also providing tips for applying for scholarships and other merit-based opportunities for college assistance.

A Livestream viewing will also be provided to families who may not be able to attend the informative in-person session. 

Interim Grades

We have reached the midpoint of the first academic quarter for the 2022-2023 school year.  Teachers will be actively updating ProgressBook over the next week in order to provide the most accurate update information on your child's academic progress thus far this school year.  We encourage students and parents to login into ProgressBook by the end of next week in order to best assess their child's current academic achievement.  If, after reviewing ProgressBook you have questions or concerns, please contact the appropriate teacher for further information and clarification.
