WELCOME TO THE 2023-2024 SCHOOL YEAR! |
|
Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year! The BHS PTSA is ready to kick off another year of support for our BHS students, teachers, staff, and community through student enrichment and support, staff appreciation events, a fantastic grants program, and for the first time ever at BHS the award-winning PTSA I-Connect program.
There are lots of ways to get involved, but the first thing you can do is join the PTSA. The PTSA is an annual membership, so at the start of each new school year we invite all new or returning Bellevue High parents, guardians, students, staff, and interested community members to join the Bellevue High PTSA online. Please use the following link to join:
SAVE THE DATE:
Our first PTSA General Membership Meeting will be held on September 13 in the BHS Library in person, and through Teams from 8:45am. Please join us and get to know our PTSA.
We are looking forward to meeting you and to another great school year!

Looking for a volunteering opportunity to support our BHS community?

Students and parents/guardians can now access their class schedules through Synergy via StudentVue or ParentVue. If you need assistance accessing Synergy please call or email Technology Support for Students and Families. Their numbers and contact information are included in the linked website.
During winter and spring registration, we encourage every student to select courses carefully and provide 2nd & 3rd options for their elective requests. Students may not receive every course they have requested, and some priority is given to seniors with specific graduation requirements or limited access to select course offerings.
If you believe there is an error in your current schedule and would like to request a schedule correction, complete the Schedule Correction Request Form linked here. We will review your request and respond as quickly as possible. Please understand that our current staffing and course offerings are based on original requests received last spring. There is no guarantee we will be able to honor a new request, however, errors meeting the criteria included in the linked form will be addressed as soon as possible.
