Dear Families and Members of the Class of 2028 and all New Students:
Hello! I hope you are having a great Summer, and I hope this finds you and your families safe and well. Welcome to Brandywine Heights High School! On behalf of all of the staff, we are excited to have you here as you enter 9th grade with us! You are about to become a part of a proud tradition of exceptional learning, a community of incredible students, and work every day with a caring staff that wants you to achieve your very best! We look forward to sharing your accomplishments throughout your time here at the High School and celebrating your continued success throughout your high school journey. Making the transition from middle school to high school is an important, impactful, and incredible time in your life, and I am certain you are ready to take on everything that awaits you during your time here. High School is such an exciting, busy, and enjoyable time as a student, and in my six years here as Principal, I have been so fortunate for the chance to enjoy this part of education with all of our students. I know graduation day in 2028 seems a very long way away, but I can assure you almost every Senior student would tell you to enjoy your time here and make the most of it because it truly goes by so fast, and graduation day arrives before you know it.
I know that we had some time to meet one another and tour the building back in May, but I wanted to give you a chance to visit the school again prior to school resuming on August 21st. As a way of easing your transition to Brandywine Heights High School, and to give you a chance to come and see the building a little, we would like to invite you and your parents to participate in an informal orientation and acclimation session to be held in the High School. This informal event at the High School will allow families to receive their child’s schedule and walk around the building at their leisure prior to our High School Open House and one more time before the school year begins.
Our informal orientation event will be Tuesday, August 13th from 5:30 P.M. to 6:30 P.M. It is not mandatory for students or families, and it is completely optional. You will have an opportunity to pick up your class schedule and tour the building with some of our current students here to assist. As a reminder, there is no formal presentation during this evening; rather, based on parent and student feedback these past few years, we wanted to provide a time for families to walk the building with their children in a more comfortable and relaxed setting as they transition to Brandywine Heights High School. Some staff and I will be here should you have any questions or want to talk about the upcoming year. If you cannot make this event but would still like to have the chance to walk around the building, or if you have any questions, please reach out to the High School and we will be happy to help with whatever you need. Families, we are happy to have you stay to meet our staff during the open house that will begin at 6:30 P.M. here at the High School the same night.
We look forward to meeting each new student as you begin an outstanding high school career and want to wish you the best of luck. We will see you soon!
Sincerely,
Mr. Matthew J. Dziunycz Mr. William S. Ostroski
Principal Assistant Principal
