Events for the Week of May 16th
This week is a busy week for students, staff, and families of Bristol Eastern High School. Students who have not taken the Smarter Balanced Assessment yet will be taking the assessment this week. In addition to needing to use the results from the assessment to improve our curriculum and instruction, as a school, we must have a 95% participation rate to meet the goal set by the state of Connecticut. Please ensure that your junior has taken this assessment. AP testing continues this week as students take Statistics, Physics, Chemistry, and Psychology.
Upcoming for student events this week, we're continuing our focus on making healthy decisions. On Tuesday and Thursday there will be presentations and speakers for our students, centered around the dangers of driving while intoxicated or distracted.
We invite you to come to our school on Monday evening for an enjoyable evening of music for our annual Spring band concert. At this concert, a number of our students will performing their own original songs. Please join us at 7:00pm this Monday.
On Friday, we're honoring a number of our freshmen for their accomplishments this year at our annual Freshmen Awards banquet.
For varsity home athletic events this week we have Golf, Boys' Tennis, and Baseball on Monday afternoon. Outdoor track verses Bristol Central on Tuesday, along with matches for Girls' Tennis and Girl's Lacrosse taking place. On Wednesday, softball competes against Platt. On Thursday, our tennis teams compete against Bristol Central and Boys' lacrosse will play BC under the lights at home at 7:00pm. Please come out to support our teams.
Our senior prom will be held Friday at the Aqua Turf. Students who do not have late arrival or early dismissal must be present for three periods of the day on Friday. Students who do have late arrival or early dismissal must stay for all of the classes they are scheduled for, holding true for those students who may be arriving early to take their AP exam that morning. We are looking forward to a safe and enjoyable evening.
Now that the weather is warmer, we'd also like to remind families of the Board of Education dress code. Our aim is to have an environment that reflects the professionalism of the workplace environment that students will enter after high school. Students should not wear revealing clothing, including sheer clothing, clothing that exposes middles or backs, clothes that are strapless, spaghetti strap tank tops, underwear exposed, including tank tops for boys', or shorts that are too short. A good rule of thumb for shorts is that shorts should be longer than or meet the end of students' fingertips when their hands are at their sides. If students are found in violation of the dress code, they will be asked to change into clothing from our BE closet or will be asked to call home to have a change of clothes brought to school. Upon repeated violations of our dress codes, students can have more severe consequences ranging from extended detention to in school suspension. Please help us prepare our students for their future experiences in professional work environments.

Events for the Week of May 4
Smarter Balanced testing for juniors continues this week in students' English and Math classes. AP testing also begins this week with tests in Environmental Science, Calculus, English Literature, and US History. Thursday and Friday are reverse days again for the entire school so that we can accommodate testing students in all four blocks. The periods for Thursday and Friday will start with Periods 7/8, then 5/6, then 3/4, and then 1/2. Our students were great for the first week of testing. You can see juniors making their best efforts and the remainder of our students maintaining a quiet testing environment for their peers. Some lunches will be adjusted only on Thursday and Friday this week. Teachers will be communicating with their students.
This May, one of our clubs, Teens in the Drivers' Seat, will be quite active, reminding students the dangers of driving while intoxicated or distracted. This Wednesday we will be having a guest speaker who will talk with our students about the impact of some of her choices while in high school and college have impacted her life forever. On Thursday, we will be having a health and wellness fair during all of our lunches. Many community health and wellness organizations will be there to speak with students.
Our spring production of Annie opens this week. Don't wait until tomorrow! See it Thursday, Friday, or Saturday! Our students and our staff have been spending countless hours preparing and we are very excited to see the show.
Since we have quite a bit happening this week, I won't run down all of the athletic events but I do want to point out a few. Both softball and baseball play against our rival school, BC, this Wednesday. Come out to see our baseball team at Muzzy at 7:00pm Wednesday. We also have home night games for Lacrosse this week, Thursday for Girls at 7:00pm and Friday for Boys also at 7:00pm.
For parent events, on Tuesday, the Football Booster Club will meet. There will also be a meeting that is mandatory for seniors who plan on attending the after graduation celebration and their families. They will be providing an outline for the evening and will review safety questions and concerns. That meeting will take place at 7:00pm in the cafeteria.
Finally, last but not least, this week is Teacher Appreciation Week. Our teachers work incredibly hard and give of themselves to support our students each and every day. If you've been meaning to send a positive email to a teacher, please take the time to do so this week.
