Bismarck-Henning Rossville-Alvin Cooperative High School Summer Announcements Friday, August 13th, 2021
Announcements:
If you have emailed or left messages for Mrs. Stephens, please be patient - she is sorting through a lot of emails and phone calls and will get back with you as soon as she can. You can find a copy of the master schedule here: https://5il.co/x50r. Please check this schedule before you contact her. It could answer your question.
If you have not registered for school, please get that done asap!!! Call or email Jenny if you need assistance! You MUST be registered for school and have all fees paid before you can see your schedule! We’re here from 8am-noon Mon-Wed next week. Thurs & Fri morning the office will be closed for building meetings.
Class dues are $25 per year and stay with your student's class throughout their entire high school career (used to pay for Homecoming week supplies, prom, class trip, etc -- anything to do with their class). These fees are paid by each student and are not automatically waived with a fee waiver. This allows your student and their class to participate without having to do fundraising for these events they do as a class. These are included in the fees that should be paid before schedules will open up.
If you have not picked up your Chromebook yet, you can pick those up Mon-Wed of next week from 8am-noon.
The Athletic Boosters are looking for concession workers! If this is something you are interested in, please reach out to Tony Foster at tfoster@bismarck.k12.il.us.
The Parking Lottery is not quite finished yet. As soon as it is, Jenny will send it out to the students.

Schedules are now available to view in TeacherEase. Changes are still being made, so be sure to check your schedule again right before school begins.
Classes and lunch hours have been carefully balanced, therefore, no schedule changes will be allowed. If there is an error on your schedule (such as the ones listed below) please contact Mrs. Stephens to have it corrected.
your schedule is missing a class that is required for graduation
you have a blank period on your schedule
you have not taken the prerequisite for a class on your schedule
you have already taken a class that is on your schedule
Other scheduling information: Seniors who requested Economics may see Personal Finance on their schedule in its place. Personal Finance will count towards your senior social studies credit this year.
Students will need to follow the schedule listed on the first day of school. Any schedule changes will require the student to fill out a schedule change request form. These forms are available outside my office. All requests for a schedule change require a parent signature and a detailed reason for the change. These changes are subject to class availability and approval by Mr. Rademacher. Students have the first five days of school to make these changes.
Please understand that schedules have been created to evenly balance class sizes. Requests to move to a different lunch hour and/or the same class a different period will be denied for that reason.
