Bismarck-Henning Rossville-Alvin Cooperative High School Announcements Tuesday, September 27th, 2022
Announcements
Parents/Guardians, Grandparents, and community members are invited to attend a “Keeping Our Kids Cyber Safe” presentation by nationally recognized Detective Richard Wistocki. It will be held in the Wilcox Gym on Thursday, October 13th, 2022 from 6:30pm-8:00pm. Students are encouraged to attend and bring their devices. See the flier here.
Seniors - are you ready to start filling out college applications and don't know where to start? Our ISAC rep and Mrs. Stephens will be available today during 8th hour and advisory period in room 610 (skinny hallway behind JH) to help you. Bring your Chromebook. Several schools are waiving their application fee so it's a great time to apply just to see what scholarships you may qualify for. You can also get help setting up your Parchment account to send/receive transcripts.
Picture retake day is Monday, October 17th. Order at inter-state.com/order - code 72304SA.
Just a reminder on college days - if you would like for it to not count against your attendance, you must fill out the college Day form and turn it into the office before your college day.
