Good evening, BTW Families,

Tomorrow is a very important day for us at BTW, as we look forward to supporting our Juniors as they take on the ACT! We are hopeful that all are preparing to get a good night's rest. We hope those Chromebooks are on being charged and that your scholar is relaxed and ready for the BIG test! We need to see all 155 amazing 11th graders at 7:15 A.M. Remember, uniforms, Yondrs (with phone powered off), no backpacks or bags. Scholars must bring their Chromebook and charger. By the way, we have purchased snacks for all of our scholars. Please do not bring any foods for snack break. We are on a tight schedule tomorrow.

Parents, we sincerely need your encouragement. Remind your scholar how much the BTW Community is depending on him/her to knock this test out of the ballpark!
ACT...here we come!

Good night, everyone, and I look forward to seeing the Juniors of BTW (all 155) at 7:15 in the A.M.
