A Note from Mrs. Tate
May 1, 2020
Dear Elementary Parents,
Thank you for your support of our staff who go above and beyond to ensure your students’ needs are met. As you know, Governor Greg Abbott ordered that all schools remain closed for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year with the continuance of distance learning. Distance learning for BISD will conclude on our final instructional day, Thursday, May 21. The next three weeks will be structured in the following way: the introduction of new course content will end on Friday, May 8; for May 11 – 21, students will be engaged in lessons that will be geared to enrich their grade level knowledge.
Assignment details for next week will be posted to your child’s SeeSaw or Google Classrooms by the end of the day Friday, May 1. All content course assignments have been designed to be completed by Friday, May 8. For those students with limited/no digital access, instructional packets are available. Below is a brief description of the work your child will be working on this week by subject.
Instruction from May 11 – 21 will include activities, designed by your child’s teacher(s), to give students an opportunity to apply what they have learned throughout the year in fun and engaging ways, and at the same time, provide closure to the school year. Students are expected to continue with this instruction to further sharpen their skills and be ready for the next grade level and/or course. School, after all, is not only the buildings we gather in, but also the relationships we build with our students and families, and the education and opportunities we provide. These lessons will be posted to your child’s SeeSaw or Google Classroom on Friday, May 8. Teachers will continue to be available to assist you and your child.
I thank you for your continued support of BISD. Please stay safe in every way you can.
