Good afternoon, BTW Families,

ATTENTION: Parents and Scholars (Juniors and Seniors):

Please see the Alabama Graduation Requirements - Option A and B. I have provided discussion to both classes regarding the importance of tracking their coursework and achieving CCR. Magnet program participants are encouraged to follow Option A. Copies of the documents that were discussed can be accessed by clicking the link below. These documents are also available at the information station in the BTW Lobby.
Please email me your questions or concerns. Our goal is 100% CCR and 100% Graduation Rate for Booker T. Washington Magnet High School, where there is "Excellence In All Things".

Sincerely,

Dr. Ruffin

Good morning, BTW Families,

We are most apologetic for the unusual traffic delay this morning. We are working diligently to implement measures to expedite our intake process and to ensure scholars unload under coverings in the event of rainy weather. We understand that traffic on the first day of school is usually delayed, but we are committed to ensuring we provide the safest and most effective traffic procedures for our scholars and parents.

Sincerely,

Dr. Ruffin

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Thank you so much for your email. My name is Dr. Tandrea Elmore, and I am excited to introduce myself as the new School Counselor at Booker T. Washington High School. I’m truly honored to join the BTW family and to support our incredible scholars throughout the year.

If you're reaching out regarding your student's schedule, please know that our guidance department is actively working to ensure that every student has a schedule—though it may be temporary—on the first day of school. Our priority is to make sure that each student has a classroom to report to during every class period, not only for accountability purposes but also to ensure they feel welcomed and confident as the year begins.

As we finalize student placements, we anticipate a number of schedule changes over the next couple of weeks. We kindly ask for your patience and understanding during this time of transition.

Thank you for your continued support. I look forward to partnering with you to help our scholars have a successful and rewarding school year.

Warm regards,
Dr. Tandrea Elmore, LPC, NCC
School Counselor
Booker T. Washington High School
