Eagle Update: December 11, 2020
Barton Hills Elementary
Hello BHE Families:
Thank you to everyone for completing the Barton Hills Learning Preferences Survey for the beginning of the January semester. We will use this information to plan for for students who are continuing on campus instruction, returning to on campus instruction or continuing off campus instruction when we resume classes on January 6th after the Winter Break. AISD is committed to offering off-campus instruction for the remainder of the school year for families who choose that option. Please remember that if you want your child to switch from off campus to on campus instruction we will need 5 school days notice. If you completed the survey indicating your child will be returning to on-campus instruction you do not need to do any other notification.
As a reminder, there will be no school for students on December 18th, December 21st, January 4th or January 5th. Our last student day will be December 17th and we will resume classes on January 6th.
I will not be sending out another newsletter until after the Winter Break. I hope you and your families have a wonderful break and find time to relax, connect and celebrate your time together. As I reflect on this first semester I just have to say how proud and privileged I am to work with this outstanding BHE Community of teachers, staff, parents, caregivers, and of course our students. The time, talents and energy everyone has put toward making the best out of this unprecedented time has been truly remarkable. I know it has not been easy and I want you to know how much I appreciate the flexibility, understanding, and grace that's been essential for our day to day work. I anticipate we will need the same for the second semester too!
And finally, there are several staff members who will not be returning in January or may be returning for just a short time. We want to thank Amy Geltemeyer, Becky Pursley and Kari Eimer for their service to our school and wish them the best in their new endeavors.
Thank you as always for your continued support of our school. We look forward to seeing you in the New Year.
