Eagle Update: January 15, 2021
Barton Hills Elementary
Hello BHE Families:
I want to thank all our families for your commitment to the health and safety of our students, staff and community. The response of families who were able to keep their students in a remote learning environment this last week was so helpful and by having fewer students report to campus we were able to increase social distancing significantly and offer flexible work schedules for staff to further reduce the number of people in our building. Together we can help create the safest possible learning environment for our students and staff.
As previously noted, Austin ISD is working collaboratively with Austin Public Health in our response to the Stage 5 risk-based guidelines. As such, AISD and Barton Hills is asking families who are able, to continue remote learning until our risk is decreased. We know that some students need to learn in person on campus and we are open and ready to serve those with those needs. With more students remote, our campus is able to also reduce the number of adults on campus to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 during this critical time for our community.
Please contact your child's teacher and let them know if your child will be remaining in a remote learning environment or will need to return to campus next week if your child has been an on-campus learner or had planned to return on January 19th, 2021. This will help us in planning for students and staff.
Thank you as always for your flexibility and support in this most challenging school year!
