Library Book Checkout
Virtual students are able to request books from the BLE library. To participate, parents/students need to fill out a form so we know what kind of books a student would like. The books will be available for pick up each Wednesday at BLE. The entry doors will be open from 7:00 am-5:00 pm for library book pick up right inside the main doors. If you would like some books, please fill out the form for your students.
Student Email
Recently, we have received several requests from families to open up the access of our elementary virtual students to receive e-mails from outside of our muskegonorway.org domain. While we looked into options to accommodate this, we were not able to find a solution at this time that we were comfortable with. We will continue to provide any necessary links or resources directly to the student accounts to cut down on any forwarding that would be needed. Thanks for understanding!
Chromebooks/Ipads
If you are having technical issues with your child's Chromebook or Ipad please contact your child's virtual teacher. Your child's teacher will then reach out to the tech team to set up a time for you to pick up a new device. All devices will need to be picked up at the HOME SCHOOL.
