Please be aware that while this is the tentative schedule for next year, it may be adjusted over the summer to balance classes and accommodate changes resulting from summer school. I would like to thank our Bret Harte staff for working so diligently over the last two months with students and families to give them the best course schedule as possible. We are aware that some of the student choices for next year's courses for may have changed. To request a schedule change, each student must complete a Schedule Change Request Form (available electronically using the attached file or in paper at the school front office), including the reason for the request and parent/guardian signature. Non-essential requests, such as: to be with friends or to change teachers, will not be granted. All requests must be made the first two weeks of the school year to receive consideration, unless the reason for a change is based on an inappropriate placement and should be submitted to Ms. Sherryl Godfrey.

COUNSELING + WELLNESS: "Hi Bret Harte families, For the sake of simplicity, I decided to combine the final two surveys into one: Survey #3: Student & Family Engagement (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc2X2jlK_okC7swNyV5Koj-COYv8HwykPQGYNcBcp-0uQvVlQ/viewform). The survey is brief, anonymous and should only take a few minutes to complete. The results will help us to serve students in the best way possible. We really want to hear from you! To be entered into the drawing for either a gift card or a family pass to the 2024-2025 athletic season, email me after completing the survey (cgavan@bhuhsd.net). This will be the last chance for an entry into the prize drawing. (Remember to email me for prize entry because the survey is anonymous.) Thank you! Warmly, Colleen Gavan, cgavan@bhuhsd.net, 209-736-8354, Student & Family Engagement Liaison”

SAFETY ALERT: "Dear Families and Staff, At Bret Harte Union High School District student safety is our highest priority and we wanted to update everyone regarding a generic email that was received by multiple school districts and county offices across the state, including Bret Harte. The politically motivated email refers to a bomb threat if certain prisoners are not released. While this does not appear to be a credible threat as it was generic email received by many districts across the state, the four school districts of Calaveras County, are taking proactive, cautionary steps in response. District Superintendents have been in direct contact with the Calaveras Sheriff’s Department early this morning and they have additionally contacted the FBI regarding the bomb threat. The District has already completed a sweep of the campus and are also working with Angels Camp Police Department. Districts are notifying all staff to have a heightened alert for today and report anything that is suspicious or unusual to administration so it can be reported and followed up on by the Sheriff’s department.
We anticipate a normal operating school day, and by taking these extra precautionary steps, reinforce our priority to student and staff safety." - Bret Harte Union High School District
