Brown City Jr/Sr High School Families,

Welcome to a new school year! We are incredibly excited to have students back in the building. The building looks great, the gym finishes have been great to see students enjoying, and we are exited to have some of the new equipment in the building from the $400,000 CTE grant we received, along with the $50,000 MiSTEM mini grant. Look for more updates soon as the grant projects take shape.
 

In this issue:

Picture Day

Fall pictures will be conducted by Marion's Studio on Wednesday, September 9th. Career Center students should try to arrive early to have their picture taken before heading to the Career Center. Pictures will begin for them at 7:30 AM. Picture order forms were given to students in 7th Hour today to take home. Additionally, pictures can be ordered at this link. http://marionsstudio.hhimagehost.com/BROWNCITY20262027

Parent Square

We are excited about the possibilities of our new communication tool. We will continue to get to know it and increase our use to better engage everyone as we move through the year. If you haven't already, we encourage you to download the "Parent Square" app from your favorite app store. You should have received an email to sign up to your email included in Skyward. If you didn't receive it you can contact the HS office to update your email address.

Parent Square Calendar

The most common question from families regarding the new app has been how to access the district calendar on the website like they did in the old app. To add events to your ParentSquare calendar, you need to join the appropriate groups. Directions to join groups via the mobile app and web browser are included below.
