Special communication for 8th Grade parents regarding summer camps
We’ve had a few questions regarding summer camp dates and the addition of snow days to the end of the middle school calendars in some districts. I want to assure those students who are registering for summer camps that there will be no penalty whatsoever for missing a day or two of camp due to the last day of school being pushed back in the middle school district. Additionally, we strongly support junior high students finishing the school year in school as a priority over camp. As sports camp dates are district dates, and many of the middle school districts that feed into D214 have completed their school year by June 8th, we are not changing the start of summer camp dates.
Summer camp information and registration, athletic and academic, can be found along the left hand side of our homepage http://bghs.d214.org/
BGPA Post Prom Communication
**The BGPA is sponsoring something new, different, and REALLY FUN for AFTER Prom. Start planning NOW for a fantastic POST Prom event at Pinstripes in Northbrook. For $35 students will be picked up by coach buses at BGHS and transported directly to the Prom. After the Prom you will be transported to the Northbrook Pinstripes via the coach buses.
