Future Eagle Checklist
1. Submit your online registration.
2. Freshmen, review the Class of 2027 Welcome Page (link sent via email). This site contains everything you need to know to get ready for the start of school. Included in this are important dates and information about Chromebooks, the BSHS uniform, summer reading, fall sports and auditions for the musical. All new students, review the Summer Packet which will be sent in June. If you do not receive this information, please contact the Admissions Office (610) 343.6206.
4. Review the guidelines here and purchase a Chromebook. In the summer, freshman and transfer families will receive via email a Sign-Up Genius link for appointments to get your child's Chromebook configured in late August 2023.
5. Optional - Attend a reading test on the Summer Reading books. Check the Summer Packet for your designated time. You do not need to sign up beforehand and may choose to take one, two, or all three tests before the school year begins.
6. In mid-August, you will be sent your class roster to review.
7. Connect with your classmates at New Student Orientation for Transfer Students and Freshman Welcome Night for the Class of 2027 on August 30. Stay tuned for details!
9th Grade Placement*
Level placement for incoming ninth grade students is determined through a careful review of students’ academic transcripts, standardized test scores, and for students coming from our partner schools, recommendations from eighth grade math teachers. If it is determined that a student requires additional testing for proper placement, the Office for Academic Affairs will reach out to schedule the appropriate tests. Student rosters are shared with families in mid-August. If at that time parents/guardians have questions or concerns about a student’s placement, they will have the opportunity to sign up for an appointment with the Assistant Principal for Academic Affairs.
Please note a student’s level placement is not permanent. Ninth grade students placed in the College Prep (CP) level who thrive and express an aptitude and desire to succeed at the Honors (H) level will have the opportunity to change levels during the course selection process for the next academic year.
*Upperclassmen transferring into Shanahan will be contacted by the Office of Academic Affairs to determine class placement.
