Learning Options Selection
Parents and Guardians,
Click on the picture above to access the Google Form.
Bear Branch Elementary is preparing to have students return to school for on-campus learning starting on September 8th pending the guidance Magnolia ISD receives from Montgomery County Public Health Authority and Montgomery County Hospital District the week of August 24. In order to plan appropriately, we are asking you to complete the survey below indicating which learning option you are selecting for your child.
On-Campus Learning: Students and teachers will attend traditional class in-person, five days a week, with additional safety measures in place that align with state and federal guidelines and recommendations.
Virtual School: Virtual (remote) learning consisting of both synchronous (live) and asynchronous instruction.
The form is now open and will close on Monday, August 24 at noon. Families who have not made a selection by August 24 at noon will be auto-enrolled in on-campus learning.
Message from the Principal
Before our 1st day of remote learning, we issued over 400 electronic devices and 500 student resource bags. We have received your tech issues and concerns, and we have responded to almost all of them.
I want to praise and highlight your child's teacher. They are amazing, resilient, and persistent. They are committed to this 2D learning platform, and they want to teach your child.
Below you will find helpful links embedded in the pictures assist you during your child's remote learning options. Most importantly, is the above link. This is a parent survey for learning options. The window for completing this survey is from August 17th through August 24th (noon).
Proud to love, care, and serve you !!
Jim Gassaway
