8/14/2020
Dear Twelve Bridges families,
We are getting close! The first day of school is August 20th. In this email, you will find new information on materials pick-up and our Chromebook distribution. We are experiencing some problems with our student information system and our email lists. I will also post this message on our TBE app and on our school website. If you missed Part 1 of this information, you can check it out here!
Take care and be safe,
Will Middleton

- The district has purchased enough Chromebooks for each student to have their own to use at home. That shipment is expected to arrive in September.
We have a limited number of Chromebooks available right now, so if you did not request one for your child on the Tech Survey (sent out last week) you may have to wait until our shipment arrives. Please contact Mr. Middleton if you need assistance with technology and do not have any access prior to school starting.
Parent Portal Information
Please make sure you have logged on and updated your Parent Portal information. PowerSchool Parent Portal
This includes emergency contacts and important information about your child’s health and education including the best emails to reach you at.
The email you provide in the Portal will help to make sure you continue to receive up to date emails from TBE and the School District. This is our primary means of communication during distance learning so please make sure we can reach you.
The district emailed information out to families that included information about how to access this portal and update the information.
Detailed information and access to the portal can be found here: PowerSchool Parent Portal
The ParentPortal must be updated before 8/17/20 at 5pm, after that, the Portal will shut down and families will need to come to the school office to update their information.
How do I know where and when my child is supposed to go online?
The teachers “officially” return to work on August 17th.
Our first day of school is Thursday, August 20th
Between now and the 18th, you will receive an email from your child’s teacher with their Back to School Presentations.
In their email, you will also find out when you will have the opportunity to meet (likely virtually) your teacher and ask questions.
Typically, the bulk of the live instruction will take place between 8:00-12:30
