ATTENTION JUNIOR HIGH AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AND GUARDIANS, attached is an announcement with information about parent-teacher conferences this year.

Many of the juniors will be taking the PSAT. This test is a pre-SAT test and will also consider them for National Merit recognition based on their score. Wish them all good luck!!!!
There will be a mandatory HS cheer leading meeting on Monday, October 5th. It will be held at the Beecher City High School library from 5 - 6 pm. Any HS girl interested in becoming a cheerleader needs to attend the meeting.

The sophomore biology classes and 7th grade science class started the year off with a botany unit. They did several nature walks on the school campus learning how to identify trees. They enjoyed completing their leaf collections and constructing their display posters. Many students said that now when they look at a tree they cannot help but try to figure out what kind it is.
SENIORS: The state of Illinois is requiring all students to either complete the FAFSA form as part of their graduation requirements or sign a waiver declining to apply. Members of the Illinois Student Assistance Commission will be hosting a Google Meeting to assist parents and students in completing this process. Students and parents should have received an invitation to the google meeting on October 15. Members of the ISAC team are hosting the meeting and they will take you step by step through the financial aid process. For more information, please contact Mrs. Keller at tkeller@beechercity.org.
