NJ SAFE SCHOOLS MANDATORY TRAINING
This year we will continue the mandatory professional development trainings through the online portal called NJ Safe Schools.
The link to access the online portal is as follows: http://bcsssd.nj.safeschools.com
The username for each staff member is their district email address.
The expectation is that these trainings will be completed by each staff member prior to October 31, 2015. Mid-year hires are expected to complete the mandatory trainings within 60 days of their start date.
At the conclusion of each course, there will be a short multiple choice quiz. After successfully completing the quiz with a score of 80% or greater, the staff member will be able to print out a certificate of completion, which they can print and upload into the Genesis Employee Portal.

Spanish Factoid of the Week with Ms. Sanders
Hola!
As you are all aware, it is Hispanic Heritage Month and we are doing some very interesting things in class to help our students be more aware of the positive impact of Hispanics in our country. As such, we would like to cap off the month with a celebration that includes some music, some food and some fun!
Unfortunately for me (the new girl!) I wasn’t here to write this into the budget last year so, alas, I have no funding! Not one to give up, here is what I purpose:
What: Fiesta!!
When: Friday, 10/16 during 6th and 7th period
Who: All students taking Spanish and others who are specifically recommended by a staff member.
How can you help? Any staff member who makes a minimal contribution of $10 to help cover the general cost of the food is welcome to come and enjoy a fine sampling of authentic Hispanic food representative of Mexican, Puerto Rican and Cuban cultures! (All donations needed by October 2nd)!
If you can’t come to the fiesta, but would still like to support the effort, please see me in room 124. Please help make this a memorable event for our kids!!
Mil gracias,
Lynne
