BHCS Update: 12/31/20
Dear BHCS Families,
I hope that all of you have had a wonderful and restful holiday season. So far, we have 34 students in Grades 5-8 who have signed up for our winter sports program. If you are interested in signing up your child and have not already done so, you can do so at the following link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeKghXrGxZtmB7p5BkJUHXyx3GSsfLeAnoj5B-pI9gvWDhXsA/viewform?usp=sf_link.
As I mentioned last week, there will be a Zoom meeting for parents to go over the expectations for the winter sports season. That meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday, January 5th at 5pm on Zoom. At this meeting, I will go over the COVID-19 protocols that are in place, as well as share other important pieces of information about the winter sports season with families. This meeting is important for parents to attend and is mandatory before students can participate in our winter sports program. The Zoom link to this meeting can be found in this email, and on both the school and athletic calendars located on the BHCS.org website. The BHCS website has recently undergone some major updates, and should be fully functional to the public shortly. Please take a moment to check out the newly updated website, when it is available.
I will also be holding mandatory Zoom meetings just for those students who are participating in winter sports on Wednesday, January 6th at 4pm for basketball and on Thursday, January 7th at 3pm for cheering. At these meetings, I will go over the expectations for winter sports with the students, and will also go over with them the NFHS COVID-19 training that we have asked all of our coaches to complete prior to the start of the season. This will ensure that everyone is on the same page in regards to COVID-19 safety protocols. If you are interested in knowing more about the NFHS COVID-19 training, you can read more about it at https://nfhslearn.com/courses/covid-19-for-coaches-and-administrators.
Visit the Athletics calendar for more details including Zoom info.
I know that I have shared quite a bit of information in this email, which I am sure will generate plenty of questions. If you have any questions, please let me know. I will be happy to answer them. I am excited to get the winter sports season started. I know that together, we can make this a safe and positive experience for the students of BHCS! Enjoy the rest of your break, and have a safe and happy start to 2021!
Thank you,
Derek Perkins

Good Afternoon BHCS Community,
BHCS has been bringing the holiday cheer these past few weeks! We have made decorations and treats for the Island Nursing Home, decorated doors, dressed up in festive sweaters and clothes, eaten a yummy turkey dinner and we even got to go sledding today! We hope that we have helped our students to feel the magic of the season even during these uneasy times.
On Tuesday of next week, all BHCS students will be sent home with iPads, chargers and materials for remote learning for the week of January 4-8. We will follow the Red Plan schedule for that week. Look for more information from your child's teacher(s). If you would like to pick up breakfasts and lunches during our remote week, please email Loretta Smith by Tuesday, 12/22 in the afternoon. In this week's newsletter, Mr. Perkins, Mr. Gallagher, Mrs. Gandy and I have shared important information regarding iPads that we ask you to be sure to read Explorations.
Please read about our Winter Sports Plan for 5th-8th grade students. Winter sports at BHCS will begin with in-person sessions on January 11th for students in Grades 5-8. To sign up, please go to https://forms.gle/kBiY6TLknJKSFkNi8 and complete the digital form.
If your student received any grades of "Incomplete" on their report card, work must be made up by Friday, January 15th for credit.
Have a very happy holiday break!
Warmly,
Shelly
