Most Current Update
(January 15th, 2021 - #18.1)
Hello BJP Community,
We will transition back to in-person learning for all students on Wednesday, January 20th. You will receive an email this afternoon with a comment from each teacher about your student's work online this week.
Please remember to continue to share any Covid testing results (both positive and negative) with BJP to keep us informed so that we can make decisions for everyone's safety, and so that we can provide the state with the most accurate picture of our community in our daily reporting.
All students and staff will have completed more than two weeks separation from a known Covid case. Therefore, when asked by Cscreener, be sure to click "no" when that question pops up. This is, of course, unless you have been exposed to Covid by someone outside of BJP.
As with everything since the pandemic started and now that we are coming to the end of our most recent implementation of our plan, we will review the plan to see if any changes need to be made. The plan and the public forum to leave comments are on our Covid webpage. If changes are made, I will let everyone know.
One change will be the formation of a text message alert system. We will test it for parents on Tuesday, January 19th at 3pm. Ms. Vincent has been calling to ask for your cell carrier. If you have not given it to her, please call BJP. The purpose of this system will be to alert parents to check their email in cases where late night emails that affect the next day need to be sent, similar to what happened the first Tuesday back from break. We will also use it for in-person emergencies such as building evacuations and weather. It will be used sparingly and is simply meant to notify the community to check their email where more information will always be shared.
If you have any questions, please let me know. Continue to isolate and stay safe. Enjoy the three day weekend in celebration of MLK Jr.!
