A Message From Principal Wilson:
Parents/Guardians
It was great to have everyone in attendance for Back to School Night last Tuesday. I hope you had a chance to visit with some of your students teachers and was able get an idea of the great experience your child will be presented with while attending Benson Polytechnic High School.
If you get a chance to visit the school please stop by the courtyard to see all the good work that Mr. Ryan (Social Studies Teacher) and student helpers have done in order to beautify the grounds of the courtyard. With the laying of the barkdust and painting of the surrounding area the courtyard is now a great place where students and staff can come and socialize with one another if the weather permits.
Attendance
One of the main reasons students struggle in school is poor attendance. Please help ensure students attend every day and arrive to school on time. We have an automated phone system that calls parents when a student has missed a class. You may also receive a call from teachers and/or administrators when a student is not attending regularly.
Breakfast
All students can get breakfast free of charge. Breakfast will be served from 7:45-8:15. Please encourage your students to arrive to school on time in order to receive breakfast.
Health Science Pathway
Medical professions senior students will be touring all the allied health programs at PCC Sylvnia & Cascade, as well as Mt Hood Community College, next Friday September 27th.

PE/Health
FIT2LIVE&LEARN is off and running… literally. Freshmen are already noticing a significant change in their bodies and mind. It has been a GREAT start of the school year. Please expect to see your students PE clothes on the weekends for laundering. If you want to see if your child has homework in any class, please ask to see his/her planner. It is listed daily.
Keep up the great work! GO TECH!
