Dear Parents,
We are excited to be hosting this year's Back-to-School Night on Thursday, September 22nd. One of the highlights of our year, Back-to-School Night is an opportunity for us to share with you all that BHS has to offer.
The evening will begin with a voluntary meeting for parents at 6:30 pm in the Auditorium. We will explain the Back-to-School Night program and hear from our community partners, the Briarcliff Manor Education Foundation (BMEF), Parent Teacher Association (PTA), and the Briarcliff Booster Club.
Beginning at approximately 6:55 pm, parents will be instructed to follow their child's schedule according to the timetable below. Our teachers will showcase their talents and expertise through brief presentations outlining curriculum and classroom expectations.
Please note that we will be following a Day 1, Semester 1 Schedule:
Period 1 7:05 - 7:15 p.m.

In preparation for Back-to-School Night, if you have not already done so, we encourage you to create a Parent Portal Account. This account will provide access to your child's Schedule, Progress Reports, Report Cards and class attendance. You may access the Parent Portal registration process via the Briarcliff website at www.briarcliffschools.org. When you open the home page, select the Parents drop-down at the top of the page. Select HS Parents, then esd Parent Portal, click Parent Portal Registration F.A.Q. and follow the directions. If you have any questions regarding the Parent Portal, please contact Ms. Caroline Saldanha at csaldanha@briarcliffschools.org or Mr. Noah Hart at nhart@briarcliffschools.org.
Kindly access the Parent Portal and print out a copy of your child's schedule to follow on Back-to-School Night.
