Cannabis Education Night for BSD Caregivers 11/16
Cannabis in the US and Vermont has been changing rapidly in the last decade. There are new laws, new language, TONS of new research about health risks, a growing list of cannabis products, and increasing potency of cannabis with THC. It can be hard to navigate it all, yet the chances of our kids encountering cannabis in their tweens and teens have increased. Teens and young adults suffer more negative impacts from use, including increased risk of mental health issues, and lowered academic and career success. ParentIN Burlington and the Burlington School District are inviting caregivers and community members in Burlington to join them to hear about the research, trends, and myths related to cannabis use and talk about strategies that will leave caregivers feeling more prepared and comfortable to talk about these issues with their kids and with other adults.
Monday, November 16 @ Burlington High School
5:30 – 6:00 pm – light dinner
6:00 – 7:30 pm – presentation and discussion

Thinking about taking the SAT? 11/7
You can take the SAT right here at Burlington High School!
BHS will be hosting the SAT on Saturday, November 7, 2026, for students who are interested in taking the college preparatory exam.
Why take the SAT? Some colleges consider SAT scores as part of their admissions process, and scores may also be used for scholarship opportunities. If you are considering college after high school, taking the SAT may be a helpful step.
How to Register: Students and families must register online directly through College Board. BHS cannot register students on their behalf. We recommend creating an account with your personal email address!
- Registration Deadline: Friday, October 23, 2026. Seats may fill up before the deadline, so we encourage students and families to register early if they plan to take the SAT at BHS.
- Registration Fee: Students and families are responsible for paying the $68 SAT registration fee unless they qualify for a fee waiver.
- Fee Waivers: Students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch received an email sharing that they are eligible for an SAT fee waiver through their school counselor. Please reach out to your school counselor for assistance.
For registration instructions, test-day information, and other details, visit the College Board SAT website.
Want to prepare? Free SAT practice resources are available through Bluebook and Khan Academy.
