Dear Parents, Guardians, and Caregivers,
I hope you have had nice Winter Breaks with your students and families. We begin again our Brookline High School efforts in a shortened week and then have about three weeks until Midyear Examinations (Wednesday 1/25 to Friday 1/27). Quarter three starts the week of 1/30-2/3.
We thus return to Brookline High School with a certain amount of urgency (i.e., midyears and end of semester approaching), recognizing our students often return to us with a bit of a post-break malaise. They will let us know that they are tired and unaccustomed to our hours of operation. We will try to remain cheerful and optimistic as we exhort our youthful charges to engage, focus, participate, produce, and the like.
And so we begin 2023, the better half (plus) of the 2022-23 school year. We can do this…
Sincerely,
Anthony
Anthony Meyer
Head of School
Brookline High School

PARENT FEEDBACK NEEDED
The PTO is organizing an opportunity for parents/guardians to give feedback to the plan that BHS administrators have written to guide the school-based response to incidents of hate (racism, anti-Semitism, homophobia, etc.) at BHS. Please keep an eye out in January for announcements in the Blast and from your class reps with the date and time for this event.
If you are interested in helping to plan and run the event, please email copresidents.bhs.pto@gmail.com.

SOCIAL STUDIES EQUITY REVIEW
The BHS Social Studies curriculum is undergoing an equity review, and parent involvement is a critical part of the process. There are two ways for you to engage with BHS faculty, students, and consultants in this important work:
• Respond to the survey that was circulated last week via email - click HERE.
• Participate in a parent focus group in January - fill out THIS FORM to be placed on a list of interested parents. Once the focus group session is scheduled, BHS faculty will reach out with more information. Please note that there may be space constraints, so filling out the form doesn't guarantee that you'll be called.

BASKETBALL RECREATION LEAGUE
The High School Recreation League is designed to bring another fun level of Basketball to High Schoolers looking for something to do in the Winter. This league is for students in grades 9-12 who attend a Brookline public or private school. Grades/genders may be combined depending on registration numbers. Players can fill out their form and make one teammate request. These requests are not guaranteed, but we will try our best to honor them. Teams will have one, 1-hour game per week (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday). It is recommended that each team has a parent volunteer coach, but is not required. Students can register HERE.
