Senior Year concerns
Spring is upon us and with that comes college acceptance letters, future
planning and parties. Senior year for many is year of mixed feelings such
as anxiety, hope, and elation. In addition, many celebrations are for
honoring accomplishments and hard work. Unfortunately every year we hear
about young people getting injured or fatally wounded as a result of
festivities getting out of control.
Below is a link to the program website for Students Against Destructive
Decisions(SADD). The article "Already Gone: A Parent’s Guide to Surviving
Senior Spring" by SADD Director Stephen Wallace, M.S. Ed.
Mr. Wallace validates concerns and offers great advice to parents about
how to manage this time of year with your soon-to-be high school graduate
and college freshmen.

Useful information
From the Student Assistance Program (SAP) @ BHS
School is back in session, which naturally carries a mixture of stress and excitement for everyone involved. But for some students who struggle with psychiatric, social, and learning difficulties, making the transition back to school is much more of an arduous event for them, as well as their parents.
Follow the link below to a brief article from PBS.org discussing how to help young people with getting back into the classroom.
