Good Morning Eagles! Just a couple of quick updates for the week listed below.
Wednesday Guidance: With our new schedule on Wednesdays, teachers are sending many direct messages to students who are missing assignments or are showing signs of struggle. Despite these specific communications, we had very low attendance in our short class sessions for support last week. If you receive a message from your teacher to attend on Wednesday, please do so. If you receive a message from your teacher regarding missing assignments, please use this day to complete them. Additionally, it is important to know that for all students (even those that are caught up) this is not simply a day off from school. All students should be checking Canvas and completing required readings or other tasks outlined in order to be ready for classes on Thursday.
As a reminder, the schedule for Wednesday is as follows:
- 10:30 – 10:50 Period 1
- 10:50 – 11:10 Period 2
- 11:10 – 11:30 Period 3
- 11:30 – 11:40 BREAK
- 11:40 – 12:00 Period 4
- 12:00 – 12:20 Period 5
- 12:20 – 12:40 Period 6
- 12:40 – 1:00 Period 7
Teachers are also available for individually set-up appointments before 10:30 or after 1:30 on these Wednesdays as well.
Masking Guidelines: Although there have been recent changes in state guidance regarding masking, the guidance for schools is that we will continue to follow current Ready Schools Safe Learners SSL guidance for social distancing and mask-wearing for the remainder of this school year.
End of Year Updates:
- Similar to last year, our End of Year ceremonies will be done virtually, in video format.
- 8th grade families- please refer to the most recent e-mails that went out this week.
- Yard signs- If your family is interested in a yard sign purchase, please contact Anne Westerhoff for more information.
- The last day, Thursday, will be a shortened day. I will give updated info regarding time as I have it.
Jobs in BLP: There are lots of opportunities in the school district for jobs this summer and next year. If you or someone you know is interested, please encourage them to apply! JOBS link
