Academic Counseling
Hello, BHA Families-
We hope you are doing well and enjoy this beautiful. Spring weather!! The end of quarter 4 is quickly approaching and I wanted to send you a quick message to be mindful of your attendance and grades. As a reminder, here is the list of when Office Hours are held.
For students who need to recover Integrated Math 1, Integrated Math 2, English 1, or English 2, your counselor will be sending out notifications soon with all the details. Keep an eye out on your StudentSquare for information!
Friendly Reminder- PSSPs are graduation requirements. If you are not eligible to present your PSSP, it will be recorded on your transcript until cleared. This means you will be considered off-track for graduation until it is cleared :)

See Something. Say Something
Our mental health team wants to remind you that BHA has a "See Something, Say Something" program, where students, staff, parents, and community members can use the link below to share safety concerns confidentially with administrators and mental health teammates at Ben Holt College Preparatory Academy. Submissions are regularly reviewed and responded to by administrators and mental health therapists. There is a place to upload files if you need to share screen shots or documents with our team. This link is not intended for emergencies, so if you need to report an emergency, please call 9-1-1.
Here is the link to BHA's "See Something, Say Something" program.
Thank you for your partnership in keeping our community safe.
