Our Daily Master Schedule
On days when your child's class period states, Teacher Support and Independent/Group Work (asynchronous learning), students need to do the following:
1. Students enter each class period via Clever to get to their teachers' Canvas. The system automatically notes that your child is present in class. The teacher will pull an attendance report from the system and take attendance in Infinite Campus.
2. Students need to view their teacher Canvas for the asynchronous activity and/or assignment. There will ALWAYS be an activity and/or assignment listed there for students to complete during the asynchronous class period.
ELA: Work on Reading Plus. For information on Reading Plus, click on the link here: Reading Plus Information
Attendance
Students are expected to engage with their schedule of courses and classes on a daily basis. To be counted as present or participating, the students must either:
- Complete coursework during the same day the class meets; and/or
- Attend a real-time class session; and/or
- Meet or communicate with the licensed teacher or substitute about their progress.

Link for January's Calendar of Evening Sessions
Burkholder Middle School continues to offer additional support and teacher-led tutoring every Tuesday and Wednesday evenings from 5-7pm.
If your child needs extra support in math, ELA, science, or social studies, be sure to attend these tutoring sessions. Google Meet Links will be shared with your child through Canvas.
We know many of our parents are balancing work/home/and distance learning, so it's important to the staff at BMS to offer more hours of support to our families.
