BHS BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT - SEPTEMBER 09, 2021
Virtual Back to School will be held on Thursday, September 9th, via 10 minute Zoom meetings or video presentation with your student's classes at the times listed below. Parents can access the class Zoom links by logging into their Infinite Campus portal account, clicking on the calendar option on the left hand navigation bar, and selecting September 9th on the calendar. Courses will be listed with the period the class meets, the course name, teacher name, and the start time. To help you navigate through the evening, there is a 5 minute "passing period" between each course. We will post a welcome message and quick tutorial to help you maneuver the technology by the end of the day on Wednesday, September 8, 2021, on our BHS homepage.
We hope you take advantage of our Virtual Back-to-School Night. Our intent for the evening is to share an overview of curriculum and expectations. If you have any student specific questions or concerns, please reach out directly to the teacher to arrange an alternative time to meet.
Links for presentations from your student's counselors will be sent no later than Wednesday, September 8th. If you would like to meet with your student's case manger, please email them directly to set up a time.
PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE ZOOM APP DOWNLOADED, PLEASE DOWNLOAD BEFORE THURSDAY NIGHT.
STUDENT ENGAGEMENT CHECK IN
In an effort to support all of our students as we transition back to school, we have asked teachers to gauge students social and emotional wellbeing based on what they have observed in the classroom thus far.
Next week, on the Infinite Campus parent portal, in grades, you will find a new item called "9.3.2021 BHS Student Engagement". Options for engagement are:
- Engaged - student has been engaged in class
- No - SEL - student does not appear to be engaged due to social and emotional reason.
- No - Attend - student is not engaged due attendance issues.
Based on our analysis of the teachers input on engagement, student support may get involved.
