On Friday, March 27th, Q3 report cards became viewable in Infinite Campus. Please make sure you are keeping up with your child’s grades and attendance through the Campus Parent app. With less than two months to go before the end of the year, it is crucial students are staying focused on both their academics and attendance.

Spring has sprung! – Dress Code Reminders

As we start to experience warmer weather into the spring, it is important that we share reminders about our dress code, which is listed clearly in HCPS Board Policy 4316. Some highlights of the policy that we have seen an uptick in lately include tube tops, spaghetti straps, crop tops, and revealing shorts and skirts. None of these items are allowed. Additionally, we have seen an increase in clothing with drug and alcohol brands or references. These items are also not allowed.

Please help us by helping your child make the right decisions before leaving the house in the morning. We thank you for your cooperation and support in upholding Board Policy.

Interested in taking BRCC classes next year? Fill out the interest form by Tuesday, March 31st to be considered!

Class of 2026 Corner – Important Senior Information

  • As a reminder, any senior who fails a class needed to graduate due to being over the 5 allowable absences per class will not walk the stage at graduation. They will, of course, still receive their diploma, but they will not be able to attend the ceremony on May 22nd. In order to avoid this, please make sure your senior has recovered all attendance overages by attending Saturday School, morning attendance recovery, and/or after-school tutoring.
  • Beginning April 1st, Ms. Gamez will be contacting seniors to sign off on their diploma information. This is extremely important in order to make sure diplomas are printed correctly. All sign-offs must be complete by April 8th. See Ms. Gamez for questions.
  • This is the LAST CALL for seniors to fill out the Senior Survey. This is incredibly important, as district email access will be closed after graduation, and we need to be able to contact our Class of 2026. Additionally, it helps us collect important data for our counselors. Please fill this out THIS WEEK if you have not already done so, seniors!
  • If you are not already a part of our Class of 2026 TeamReach group (seniors and parents), it is crucial that you join. Important information will be pushed out using this platform, and the join code is East2026. Important senior dates have been added to the calendar in TeamReach as well.
  • Scholarship season is in full swing for our Class of 2026, and two more scholarships are now accepting applications: the AXEL Scholarship and the Camp Glow Scholarship. Please check your grade-level and scholarship Google Classrooms for more details.

Semester 2 Attendance Recovery

Attendance matters. Please make every effort to be at school every day. Missing school means missing valuable instruction.  Should a student go over 5 absences for one or more classes, they will have the following opportunities for attendance recovery throughout the semester.

  • February 14
  • February 28
  • March 7
  • April 11
  • May 2
  • May 9
  • May 16

Saturday School requires advanced sign-up and costs $20 per Saturday. Students may earn up to 6 hours of attendance recovery per Saturday.

Morning academic recovery advertisement with details and stack of books with coffee Morning Attendance Recovery will be offered twice per week this year on Mondays and Tuesdays from 6:45-7:45am in Mr. Rotton’s room (B-2). Morning recovery begins March 9th. No advanced sign-up is necessary, and no students will be let in after 6:45am. Please make sure you have things to work on during this time.  Each morning recovery session recovers one absence.
