Family Engagement
Phoenix Families ~ Research suggests that family-school partnerships not only strengthen families and increase student achievement, but also improve schools and build healthy communities. Students with engaged families, regardless of demographics, are more likely to develop confidence, have better social skills, earn higher grades and test scores, have fewer behavior problems, graduate and go on to post-secondary studies. @EducationFL @FloridaLottery #EngagedFamiliesFL #FLedu ~ Principal Fernandez

Interested in Traveling Abroad During Spring Break? The deadline to sign up for the trip to France and Spain in March of 2023 is fast approaching, as ACIS must finalize all flight space by November 17th. Please contact Mrs. Caraballo (ecaraballo@bdchs.org) as soon as possible if you would like to join the group. Also, keep in mind if you would like to use your own travel points, you could save up to $1,000 by selecting the non-fare option and join the group at the first hotel in Paris.

Veterans Day
A Message from Principal Fernandez: Dear Parents, Here we are in November and with it comes all the excitement the upcoming holiday season brings. It is a busy time and the perfect time to begin to reflect on this year. Multiple holiday breaks are beginning to happen and we want to make sure everyone remains focused to end the semester on a positive note. Life at school has been very busy. Many of our fall sports have come to an end and most of them had a record-breaking year. In addition, we have numerous students who participate in sports at their home school and their performance has been amazing. Make sure to check out our web page for constant updates. The campus has also been abuzz with the perspective student open house, PAC meetings, college and career night and many other events for clubs and organizations. Last month we received notice that we were one of five highs schools in Hillsborough County designated a “School of Excellence” by the Florida Department of Education. This designation comes as a result of us improving to an A rating and maintaining that rating for multiple years. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the faculty, staff, students and parents for their continued support. This recognition would not have been possible without your continued support. Progress reports are quickly approaching and grades will be updated in CANVAS by the end of the day on November 11th. Conference night will be held Monday November 14th. Teachers will be reaching out if your student’s grade drops below a 70%. Arrival to school has shown some improvement and we have been keeping an eye on traffic situations to accommodate late arrivals. Your support with getting your student to school on time is greatly appreciated. Classes begin at 8am and late arrivals disrupt instructional time. Please make sure to bookmark our website. There you will find day to day updates on events going on at BDCHS and other important information. You will also find a BDCHS app in the Apple store and coming soon to the Google app store. Important Dates: November 11 Veterans Day – School Closed November 14 Conference Night – 4-6pm November 18 Teach In November 21-25 Fall Break November 30 Prospective Student Open House Once again, thank you for your continued support as we “Continue the Tradition of Excellence”. Sincerely, Cheryl Fernandez Principal
