Director's Message
Dear Parents,
Thank you all that attended our Open House. It was great to see parents and students visiting the classrooms with excitement and smiles. In passing, a parent mentioned that this is one of the first times the school is hosting a large inside event. We are making steps in the direction of hosting community events in a safe manner. Yeah! It was enjoyable to see everyone come together as a community. I look forward to many more events this year.
The school would like feedback on the 2022-2023 BIS Open House. A short survey is included in this week’s newsletter. It would be helpful for future planning if you could complete the survey. The survey has less than 10 questions and should take less than 3 minutes to complete.
To support future events, I hope you will be able to attend the Parent Support Group meeting/Director's Chat that is next week. Please see the Parent Support Group advertisement in the newsletter for more details.
After the first full week of school, I imagine the students will need some rest on the weekend. I hope the students have a restful weekend, so they are recharged for next week. I wish you all a fantastic weekend.
Sincerely,
Dr. Garner

BIS WhatsApp Group

The group is set up as a one-way communication tool, so participants only receive messages but can not respond in the group. This allows BIS to communicate information without the distraction of numerous responses.
