Hello BW Families,

It’s amazing how fast time moves, even in such surreal times. As we prepare to head into our Winter Break in a couple of weeks, we are focusing on our 2nd semester. We have learned A LOT about schooling in a pandemic during our 1stsemester and while there is no perfect plan that will satisfy everyone, we hope our 2nd semester plans will meet everyone’s needs. This Wednesday, we will host two webinars, one at 9am and another at 5pm to share our plans for 2nd semester and also answer questions. I hope you will be able to join us and if not, the webinar will be recorded and posted.

Just a few key points as we head into the week:

· 7th and 8th Graders are NOT returning this week and will remain virtual until 2ndsemester

· Parent Webinars for 2nd semester will be held on Wednesday, December 9th at 9am or 5pm. Click this link to register.

Be well and be safe.

With gratitude,

Grace

If your student will require daily medication or treatments (inhaler, diabetes care, etc) while back at school, please contact me as soon as possible to arrange medication drop-off. Your student's pediatrician office can fax the following important plans to me if applicable: asthma action plan, diabetes action plan, or seizure action plan. Also, please feel free to call me if you have any questions or updates regarding your student's current health.
