Dear BHI Parents,
I would like to share my heart with you as this school year comes to a close. While we have had a very different and stressful ending, our students, parents and teachers have been truly amazing. Over the last 9 weeks, I have missed our busy hallways, seeing students socializing, listening to teachers instruct and recognizing students’ achievements. I have realized that our staff, parents, and community can do more than they ever imagined possible.
Our staff had to jump from face-to-face lessons to providing instruction in a virtual world. They do not get the pleasure of seeing that light bulb go off when a student gets excited about their success. You, as parents, went from supporting teachers to being teachers!!! I imagine you have even more appreciation for teachers, knowing they have upwards of 25 students in a classroom at once. We could not have found success with distance learning without your support. For that, I thank you. Our teachers and staff, thank you! Our community reached out to help those in need, stayed positive and tried to reduce stress; providing resources to many. Would you want to be anywhere else? I would not.
We are entering our last two weeks of school and we ask for your help in making sure your child has completed at least 70% of Edgenuity in each course or have completed their PFAs and projects in the Connect Platform. On Wednesday, May 20th, any student that has met this criteria, will be done for the remainder of the school year. All students that have not met the criteria, will be given an Incomplete. This will allow students to work on any missing assignments. All courses must be complete by Wednesday, May 27th to avoid summer school. Teachers will be contacting all parents and students of those in danger of attending summer school. We appreciate your support and hard work during this unprecedented time. Be sure to do your Personal Best and finish the school year strong.
With heartfelt thanks,
Stacey Barber
BHI Principal
