High School SPORTS Pictures have arrived. If you ordered a Fall Sports Pic, stop by the Athletic Office and pick up your envelope.
Fall Sports Awards program WILL be held on Monday, November 2nd; however, we will NOT have a General Assembly after all. Each sport will meet in their own location around the school. Varsity Letters will be presented with other teams awards by the coach. Information about your Team Award location and time will be made available soon. Stay tuned.
We have had a number issues starting before and continuing until after fall break. The following is a summary attempt to keep our school community fully informed:
• One KG staff member tested positive. The entire grade-level, both staff and students, are being quarantined until October 27th.
• One second-grade classroom, staff, and students are under quarantine until October 26th.
• Two additional elementary staff members and one middle school staff member have tested positive. The timing of fall break precluded contact tracing.
• Due to a positive result by an 8th grade student, 12 students have been quarantined due to contact tracing.
We will continue to work with the MCHD and attempt to make the best decisions for the health of our students, staff, and community.

Basketball Cheer Tryout Announcement
Basketball cheerleading will look a little different this year due to COVID-19. Because of social distancing protocols, we would like varsity and JV teams to stay smaller. Depending on how many individuals tryout, there may be a chance we have two different cheerleading teams that will alternate cheering home games. Given the indoor venue for basketball games, our conference and opponents are prohibiting cheerleaders to perform at away games.
Although this season may look different than any before, we are still hoping for a fun cheerleading basketball season!
Basketball sideline cheerleading tryouts will be the following days and times:
Tuesday, October 27th: 4:30-6:30
Thursday, October 29th: 3:30-6:30
Tuesday will be a clinic day where the cheerleaders will learn a new cheer, chant, and review jumps and motions. Thursday, the cheerleaders will try out applying those skills.
Any cheerleader interested in trying out, must complete the registration at: CHEER before October 27th. We will be meeting in Gym A on both try out days.
If any cheerleaders have questions, they can email Head Coach Ali Matteson at amatteson@bps.k12.in.us.

We were informed this morning that a staff member has tested positive for COVID-19. Additionally, this person works closely with all kindergarten students. As a result, the MCHD has asked us to have all KG students quarantine for 14 days. To clarify, the quarantine is only for your KG child. The rest of your family is not required to quarantine form the public. At this time, we are asking parents to pick up your KG child before 3:15 dismissal today.
These students will not be allowed to ride the bus home or attend Boys and Girls Club. Students may be picked up at door 9. Students may return on Tuesday, October 27th. Teachers are sending home iPads and instructional materials with the students today and will be sending an email with more information about instruction soon. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility during these challenging times.

Parent Teacher Conferences are beginning tonight. Depending on your wireless carrier, our school phones may not show as our school number. If you get a call close to your scheduled time, please answer the call.
Today we were notified that one of our second-grade teachers has tested positive for COVID-19. In an abundance of caution, we are recommending that all students in this classroom quarantine fourteen days. It is our hope that our masking efforts will prove successful there be no further spread of the disease. We will continue to work with MCHD and take any additional steps they recommend.

Today, October 9th, is the final day for Mrs. Mallory Ulch to serve as the Administrative Assistant in the front office of Bremen High School. Mallory has been employed at BHS since January of 2017, and she said this about her departure: "Bremen is an AMAZING community and we couldn't have asked for a better community to live. My children will continue their education at Bremen, we aren't moving away, so please, keep in touch. I pray you all have a blessed rest of the school year."
Certainly, Mallory's personal/professional skills will be sorely missed by her school family. Please know that Mallory's replacement, beginning on Mon., Oct. 12th, is Karina Jimenez. Karina is a 2017 graduate of Bremen High School.
