Term 3 Parent-Teacher Conferences
We are looking forward to having the opportunity to meet with you regarding your teen’s progress in school for Term 3. On March 3rd, from 12:00 - 7:00 p.m., you will have the opportunity to connect with your teen’s teacher for a virtual meeting to discuss how the third term of the school year is progressing.
Conferences will be conducted via Google Meets. Each teacher has designated time slots through a program called Calendly for you to sign up for.
Conference slots are 10 min. each, so we ask that you make sure you have Internet access ready for the scheduled virtual session. Please be watching for an email from your teen’s teachers with direct access to the Calendly link for available time slots to sign up for. You can also access each teacher’s Calendly link here:

Interpretation Services will be available. If you need Spanish interpretation during conferences, please email Constance Barreau cbarreau@sdb.k12.wi.us with the message “Yo necesito interprete en español para las conferencias de maestro.”
If you have any questions regarding the sign up process please do not hesitate to contact your teen’s teacher(s) directly or call 361-3000. We thank you once again for your commitment to your child's education and look forward to meeting with you on March 3rd.

NAMI Ending the Silence
BMHS has the opportunity to host NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) as they present "Ending the Silence" on Wednesday March 3 from 8:00 - 9:00 AM. Student Services staff will be available for students wanting to discuss any content after the viewing until 9:45 AM.
NAMI Ending the Silence is an engaging presentation that helps audience members learn about the warning signs of mental health conditions and what steps to take if you or a loved one are showing symptoms of a mental health condition.
NAMI Ending the Silence presentations include two leaders: one who shares an informative presentation and a young adult with a mental health condition who shares their journey of recovery. Audience members can ask questions and gain understanding of an often-misunderstood topic. Through dialogue, we can help grow the movement to end stigma.
Students can access the viewing through the Zoom link below Topic: BMHS Ending the Silence Presentation
