PowerSchool Parent Portal Pilot
The Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake School District is
adopting new software called PowerSchool for
managing, reporting, and storing student data. One
feature of PowerSchool is that it will allow
enhanced communication between the school and home
via a
Parent
Portal where parents/guardians can log on to the
system and check their students’
progress at any time. Twenty-six high school teachers have volunteered to be part of a
first semester pilot program for this in order to ensure a smooth transition
for school-wide use of the Parent Portal at
the start of the second semester.
Parents who have received a letter at back-to-school
night with their log-in information can click
Parent
Portal
to set up their account. If you previously created
an account for the spring pilot, you do not need to
create another one. Simply log in, click "Account
Preferences," then click "Students" and then "Add" to add a new student. If your child was part
of the spring pilot, you do not need to re-add him
or her
to your account. Please note that only those
students who have teachers participating in the
pilot received letters with log-in information at
this time.

Class of 2006 members cycling across the USA in
tribute to former class member Eric Zagorda
Four intrepid
members of the Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake Class of 2006
are biking across the USA to to honor former friend Eric
Zagorda, who died of leukemia in 2008. On August 3
they were greeted by a cheering crowd when they arrived at the BH-BL High School
-- one stop in their
trans-continental bike journey to raise money to fight
leukemia.
Friends and family
celebrated the arrival of Alex
James, Joe Pericone, Jr., Brittany Trowbridge, and Colin Utz-Meagher with
a banner, refreshments and bake sale.
Eric Zagorda's father and
several dozen local folks met the cyclists
at the Dollar General Plaza on Route 50 in
order to ride with them for the last mile or so to the
high school. After visiting family here, the bicyclists
will continue their journey to Boston. Mr. Zagorda plans
to join the group for this last 190 miles. So far the
travelers have raised more than $16,000 in contributions
to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
See
the students' blog "EZ Tribute" for day-by-day
descriptions of their trip and lots of
photos. Their adventures have included a few scary
moments, lots of great days and grueling days, plus the
announcement of the engagement of Brittany & Colin.
To get as far as Burnt Hills, the BH-BL alumni calculate
they traveled 4,000 miles in 57 days (plus several days
of rest) -- that's an average of 70 miles of cycling per
day. CBS 6 reporter Jerry Gretzinger
also spent several hours following the cyclists from
Amsterdam to Burnt Hills and filed this story:

BH-BL earns
best graduation rate
in Suburban Council
Once again our high school has tied
with Niskayuna for having the highest cohort graduation
rate among all 13 Suburban Council High Schools.
Data released by the State Education
Department on March 9 shows that 93% of BH-BL and
Niskayuna pupils who started high school in the fall of
2005 successfully graduated with a local, Regents, or
better diploma by August 2009 -- as opposed to pupils
who, after four years, are still in high school,
received an IEP certificate, dropped out, or entered a
GED program.
All 13 Suburban Council schools had
graduation rates significantly above the state average
of 72%, but at 93%, Niskayuna and BH-BL were the best
among Saratoga County
and Suburban Council schools. Data for the whole state
is available at
