SCHOOL THEME FOR 2020-2021 One Team, One Dream...We Are ALL in This Together! SCHOOL MOTTO It is great to be a Bradwell Institute TIGER…within every TIGER is a GRADUATE! School Spirit differs from place to place because of the people. It has to come from the heart, and if there is no heart, there is no school spirit. It is the positive attitude our students, faculty, and staff have about our school. School spirit is the attitude students and teachers have about Bradwell Institute as well as their attitude toward each other in and out of the classroom. When positive school spirit is promoted, students are motivated to work harder, academically and athletically. OPEN DOOR POLICY The administration is committed to being available and accessible to all stakeholders. If there is an issue that you are unable to resolve, please call and schedule a time that we may meet with you. We do ask that you schedule an appointment as the administration spends the majority of the instructional day supervising instruction. Scheduling an appointment will ensure that the administration is able to meet with you without interruption. Appointments are made for the same day or the very next school day. Emergency situations will garner immediate attention. SCHOOL PURPOSE Your child’s education and safety are our primary concerns. Please understand that all policies and procedures are designed to help meet both academic and safety expectations. We understand that some may seem inconvenient, but with the large number of students on campus, they are necessary to maintain a safe, orderly, and educationally sound environment for all our students. We ask for your support of these policies and procedures as we strive to maintain a school in which all students learn to their maximum potential. 3 Alma Mater Bradwell, we will always love thee, Always true we'll be. And there'll never be another Like B.I. to me. Alma Mater, thee we honor: You are dear and old And your name we'll ever cherish, Hail the blue and gold! 4 STUDENT ARRIVAL AND DISMISSAL Students at the high school should not arrive on campus more than 20 minutes before the first bell and should leave campus not later than 10 minutes after the last bell unless participating in a school-supervised activity approved by the principal or his designee.
