Course Changes:
We would ask that all students look at their courses for the second semester live on Powerschool as some courses have been changed already, and to consider any course changes they may be hoping to make. If students have a course change to make, students will need to fill out the Google form. Please check your cloud email for the course change link.
Grade 10 Double Time Math:
There is some room for students who are interested in taking grade 10 double time math next semester. If you are interested, please see Mr. MacDonald
Grad Photos:
This is a reminder to grade 12 students that Heckbert’s Photography will be here on Friday, Jan 10th at lunch time in Room 111 to take graduation picture orders. This is the only day that they will be at the school to take orders. A minimum payment of $100 is due with any order. If a student is not able to order by Friday, they can still order pictures at any time by contacting Heckbert’s Photography directly, but this is the only day that they will be at Bluefield to take orders. Students do not need to include their Student ID# on the order form. If you have any questions, see Mrs. Coughlin.
