Brimfield applies the same health guidelines to every student. When a child shows symptoms outlined in our policy, we have to follow those steps, even if the child is usually healthy or eager to stay home. Brimfield doesn’t try to determine whether a student is ‘faking’ or not. If a child reports or shows symptoms that meet our health guidelines, we respond according to policy to ensure everyone’s well-being.
Today is an Early Dismissal kids are out at 1:50!
Tomorrow is Adam Sandler Day (we are participating with the HS Homecoming theme) Here are some ideas!
Good afternoon Brimfield,
Next week, our grade levels will compete against one another in a variety of Homecoming activities to earn points toward the Homecoming title. Points can be earned through lunch and gym activities, dress-up day participation, creating the most entertaining skit, and designing a fun and vibrant class poster.
The Homecoming Dance will be held on Saturday from 7:00–10:00 p.m. Tickets are $20 and will go on sale during lunch on Monday. If a BHS student plans to bring a date who does not attend BHS, an approved dance permission form must be on file by Wednesday.
Our Homecoming basketball game will be held on Friday vs. Lewistown. This game will also serve as our Buckets for Bizosky Boys’ Basketball Memorial Game. We hope to see you there in support of our students and community.
Homecoming Dress-Up Days
Tuesday, 1/20 – Pajama Day
Wednesday, 1/21 – Blackout Day (wear black)
Thursday, 1/22 – Adam Sandler Day
Friday, 1/23 – Wear your Grant shirts (or wear blue)
Community Service Graduation Requirement
As part of our first goal of being decent human beings, BHS is bringing back a longstanding tradition. Beginning with the 2026–2027 school year, students will be required to complete community service hours as a graduation requirement.
Students will be expected to complete an average of 10 hours per school year, resulting in:
40 hours for incoming freshmen by graduation
30 hours for next year’s sophomores by graduation
20 hours for next year’s juniors by graduation
10 hours for next year’s seniors by graduation
A community service tracking form was shared with students this week so they may begin earning hours now if they wish. Completed forms should be submitted to grade-level sponsors and will be placed in students’ cumulative files for safekeeping.
Scheduling Update
Scheduling continues to move quickly at BHS. Our original goal was to have current sophomore schedules completed by mid-February and current freshman schedules completed by mid-March—and we are happy to report that we are ahead of schedule.
All current juniors and sophomores have already received their schedules for next school year. Sophomores received their junior schedules on Wednesday, and many took advantage of the new Advanced Placement opportunities being offered. Registration materials for current freshmen will be distributed in early February.
Attendance Reminder
Please help us maintain strong attendance by scheduling appointments and trips outside the school day whenever possible. The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) factors attendance and chronic absenteeism into school ratings, and all absences—excused or unexcused—count toward that calculation.
That said, we understand we are in the midst of flu season. If your student is running a fever or experiencing flu-like symptoms, they should remain home.
ACT / PreACT Testing Date
Please mark your calendars: the state-required ACT for juniors and PreACT for freshmen and sophomores will take place on Friday, April 24. Seniors will not be in attendance on this day. It is critical that all freshmen, sophomores, and juniors are present and on time. We will continue to send reminders as the date approaches.
