Good Afternoon Students, Parents, and Community Members:
We were excited to welcome back all of our students and staff to in-person learning. This September we are able to offer fall sports, after school activities, and so much more that we didn't last year. Students are able to work in groups in their new classrooms and eat lunch in the new Student Commons. We look forward to continuing this momentum and having a successful school year!
Updated School Calendar- FALL SHOW CANCELLED
Student Recognition - Eagle Scout Project

STUDENT VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY
The Bristol Aggie Educational Foundation, Inc. is hosting their 4th Annual Farm to Table Feast here on campus. If you are not familiar, the foundation’s purpose is to support the students, faculty, and administration of Bristol County Agricultural High School by raising funds from private resources to build on tradition, instill pride in the Aggie and cultivate excellence for their students. The foundation has awarded over $100,000 to students and clubs in the last three years. Some of these scholarships went directly to students to purchase equipment for start up businesses or courses for a program to learn something new that is outside of the "traditional" curriculum.
We are looking for student volunteers on Saturday, September 11th. If you are interested please complete this FORM. This fundraiser is the foundation's largest of the year. We are looking for students to help starting at 4:00PM on Saturday and ending around 9PM. You will be helping the caterer set up tables, transport food and or help with directing the folks to parking. Easy-peasy. The hours that you volunteer can be counted toward any community service requirements that you may have. All volunteers will be treated to a pizza kick off at 4:00.
Even if you can't stay the whole time, a little bit helps.
Do you need NHS or FFA or scout community service hours? Here is your chance! Students that did it last year had a great time!
If you sign up, I will be in touch with you the week before the event with more details.
Thanks,
Mrs. V
We would like to remind parents that there is NO SMOKING on school grounds. We appreciate your assistance. Thank you

Mrs. Noel’s grade 9 exploratory students “christened” the brand new Media Center in the Student Commons building this week! They are learning about Google Drive apps and important digital citizenship topics such as digital privacy, digital footprint, and cyberbullying. Group 5 is off to a great start!

Everyone is enjoying the new cafeteria in the Student Commons during this first week of school. A big thank you to the Food Service Staff, the Maintenance Staff, the Admin team, and the lunch monitors for strong teamwork this week in making it a successful new “hub” for dining and important social emotional time!
