Getting Started: A few helpful things to know
During the summer, before the High School start, we encourage you to start here:
- Read the Welcome Book: it contains all the BHS secrets.
- Subscribe to the PTO Newsletter: We send a weekly newsletter to stay connected with all the parents. Subscribe and stay informed during the year.
- Know your class representatives: they are volunteer parents that will help you along the way.
- Learn about the Aspen Parent Portal: Is the easiest way to access student information, view and print progress reports and report cards, and view student records. Here is a web page with more information and help logging in.
Clubs and Activities: Help your student get involved!
Brookline High offers a wide range of clubs and activities that cater to all interests—from the Arts to STEM, and even community service opportunities.
