Dear BMHS Families
Thank you for your continued support as we work to navigate through these unprecedented times. Student connectedness, engagement, and wellbeing is our top priority. Please know that the BMHS staff is here to support our students and families. Do not hesitate to reach out with questions or if there is anything you need. Stay safe, healthy, and take good care!
Parents, please, please make sure your child is checking their email daily. All teachers will be providing instructional activities that are content-specific, to keep their students connected, engaged, and up to date instructionally. Teachers will be using email as a primary means of communication. It is imperative that students stay up to date on the communication being sent to them. Thank you for your support and partnership with this!

2020-2021 Course Selection
In the coming days, you and your students will be receiving information about the course selection process, which will be completed during the time of our school closure. Much of (if not all) of this information will be coming to students via email. Please encourage your child to be checking their email daily. Also, the course selection process will be completed through Skyward, so we are taking a technology inventory. A technology inventory survey was sent out to students earlier this week, and the link to the survey is below. Please be sure your child completes this survey if they have not already.

Staying Connected with Technology
Zoom
In an effort to stay in touch with students during this time of school closures, some teachers may be utilizing an online conferencing tool called ‘Zoom.’ Zoom video conferencing allows teachers to talk face-to-face with individual students, small groups, or even an entire class at once! Please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the Zoom conferencing tool.

Google Classroom
Some teachers may be using Google Classroom as the platform for providing ongoing learning opportunities. The attached video will take you on a tour of Google Classroom and provide instructions that will help you navigate this platform with your child.
