United Way Fundraiser
Remember at BHMS we are all for one and one for all.
By donating to United Way we can help fight for health, education, and economic stability in our community. We ask that you dig deep and help support our community by making a donation of any size to our district's United Way campaign. Please have you pledge forms ready and the United Way Team will come around to collect them on Monday, August 19. You can also slide your pledge forms under Ms. Evans-Daniel's door or place them in her mailbox. A drawing will be held for all who donate, the lucky winner could be you. In addition, any staff member who donates over $20 will receive 2 free jeans passes to use at any time. Please help us reach our goal of $2,800.00.
90-day Plan
Reminders....
When signing a hall pass in the agenda for students, please make sure that they have properly filled out the hall pass stating their destination. Students must have a hall pass to leave your class room.
Please continue to use the Ipad located in the office suite to sign-in and out each day. If for some reason the Ipad does not work, please sign in on the paper sign-in sheet on the desk.
Please make sure that you are utilizing Educators Handbook to document both minor and major discipline concerns. The hall monitors should only be utilized to remove students from classrooms when there is a major incident. If a hall monitor is asked to remove a student then the incident should be recorded as a major incident in Educators Handbook.
The class change rotation schedule went well this week. Please continue to remind students of the order of the periods they will attend for the day. The schedule is also attached.
Please email any item that you would like to include in the announcements by 8:00 am each morning to Dr. Nash. Email is the most efficient way for getting the announcements read.
Please remember that the expectation is that we have bell-to-bell instruction. There should never be a time in which students have nothing to do in a classroom. Please make sure that you over plan. Our students are not in a position where we can afford to waste a single minute of instructional time. Our achievement scores are the biggest indicator of this. If you need assistance coming up with additional assignments please see your academic coach or an administrator.
