- Date: December 14th, 2023
- Time: 6:00 PM

Summary:

Anxiety is a fact of the world we live in. It comes in many shapes, forms, and fashions and can interrupt the daily routine of our children. In turn, it can interfere with the daily advance and growth within family systems. However, the ability to recognize, cope, and move past the disruption that anxiety attempts to cause is within all of us. Join us as we discuss the ranges of anxiety, its impact, and how to effectively assist your children in managing it.
New! Fall Semester Exam Schedule
New! 6th Annual Raffle Fundraiser
New! Common App Deadline

January 1, 2024 Deadlines for College Applications:

Attention seniors! BHS counselors, teachers, and faculty do not work over holiday breaks. As some of you know, January 1, 2024 is a big deadline in common app. We will get these school reports and recommendations done before we leave for the break on December 15, 2023 but any requests that come in after December 15 will not be done until we return on January 3. See Mrs. Ankrom or Mrs. Vencill with questions.
New! Senior Mid-Year Reports

Attention Seniors: Mid Year Reports: Some colleges require a "mid-year" report which is a transcript that includes Fall semester grades. These will not go out until mid-January because grades need to be finalized and GPAs need to be recalculated. (This happens the first two weeks after the break through the central office.) Please be patient; we will get them uploaded in common app asap. For colleges that are not on common app that require a mid-year, please use the Order a Transcript website and select "end of term".

Updated! Checkpoint Driving Classes
A Checkpoints driving course will be offered for students who are interested in obtaining a parking permit. This is the approved driver safety program for Williamson County Board of Education policy 6.311 that students must complete before obtaining a parking pass.

The course is designed for students who have been driving for less than a year or have recently obtained their driver's license and must be attended by both the student and at least one parent / guardian. Throughout the course, a parent-teen driving agreement will be developed by each family.

Upcoming sessions:
- November 9, 7:00 - 8:00 PM
- November 27, 7:00-8:00 PM
- December 7, 7:00-8:00 PM
To register for one of the above sessions, check the BHS Checkpoints Registration page (requires a WCS Gmail account to register). More information and a Zoom link for each session will be sent upon registration. Families are strongly encouraged to log on 5-10 minutes early. During each session, cameras must be turned on to verify both student and parent/guardian are in attendance for the entirety of the program.

If there is not a current date posted that works for your family, the course may be taken through any WCS school.
