Dear Parents & Guardians,

Course verification forms will go home with all freshmen today. Please review with your student and sign it before returning to English teachers by next Tuesday, April 23rd. Students must take at least 6 credits and up to 7 credits. If students have 6 credits listed, they have signed up for a year-long study hall. If students have 6.5 credits listed, they have signed up for a semester study hall. To change a course request, please cross through the course you would like to drop and write in a new course beside it. If you would like to change a course to Honors, Pre-AP, or AP, you must turn in an Honors contract or parent override form to change it. As a reminder, course requests are not guaranteed since they are based upon availability at BHS. Lastly, we were informed today that the Culinary Arts course will be full with upperclassmen. If your student chose Culinary Arts 1 as a course for next year, it is advised that they choose a different elective course. Please let me know if you have any questions.

The 10th grade course options and course catalog links are below:

At the Academy, the Family Life window will be designated from April 15– May 15, 2019.

Parents, please remember to check your child’s attendance on PowerSchool weekly, or after you have sent in a note. We have a very small window of time for making corrections, and we want your child’s attendance record to be 100% accurate. Sometimes notes don’t make it to the Attendance Office for one reason or another.
Emails (to vmoser@bartlettschools.org, jtaylor2@bartlettschools.org, or jmcdonald@bartlettschools.org) are always a good way to send a note or follow-up on a written note. Weekly checks will hopefully prevent situations at the end of the grading period, the semester, or the year, where we have inaccurate information and lack the ability to make changes.
Students, you can also monitor your attendance on PowerSchool and let us know about errors. This is good practice for second semester when you want to remain eligible for exam exemptions at the end of the year.

Coach Nebo would like to congratulate Sophie Burke for breaking the school record in 2000 M steeplechase & Distance Medley Relay, Sydney Swift for breaking the school record in Shuttle Hurdle Relay, and Maggie Roy breaking the school record in the indoor 1 mile, Distance Medley Relay, and being in the top 3 in 800 m run and top 4 in 1600 M in the our section. Theses ladies also with the help of Carrie Chalmers will compete for an opportunity to run at State next Saturday May 11 at Arlington at 12 noon.Also want to congratulate Tmirah Albea, Austin Baggett , and Evan Gaines for being a part of the 2019 Unified Sectional champions. These outstanding athletes will now compete at Middle TN State University on May 23rd at Blue Cross Blue Shield State Track Meet. Austin and Evan also won first place at Bellevue Baptist Unified Basketball Championship.

I had the privilege of attending the BHS Band Concert here at the Academy last night. The music was incredible, starting with the Freshman Band, continuing with the Junior Varsity Band, and concluding with the Varsity Band. Well done, Mr. Dodd, Ms. Birmingham, and students.

Congratulations to Amanda Tutor. She is the Teacher of the Year for Bartlett Academy, the High School Teacher of the Year for Bartlett City Schools, and the High School Teacher of the Year for the Southwest Region of Tennessee.

Freshman foreign language students had a great day at the World Language Fair.  Most of all, our students enjoyed the experience and grew because of it.  We had sixteen students from Bartlett 9th Grade Academy participate this year. We received 1st place in the Poster contest (Anastasia Karasev and Dawn Jardinico), 2nd place in the Level 2 Spanish Poetry Division for native speakers (Mariana Balderrama), 3rd place in Level 2 Spanish Poetry (Anastasia Karasev), and 2nd place in the Level 2 Vocabulary Quiz (Allie Knolton).

Freshman Kyla Christopher has been selected to be a part of the Tennessee Summer Music Festival from June 8th through the 15th, at the University of Tennessee Chattanooga.
