The beginning of the school year is off to a busy start. For those of you that missed the email update on the Modulars, they have been delayed until mid-end of October. At this point in time the link connecting them to our school should also be finished. I will keep you posted on when our new area will be open. After we move in the current 3 modulars will be destroyed.
This week our update is filled with lots of information for you! I have included PDFs in 3 areas below that you can scroll through to read as well as a summary of our calendar events for the next little while.
HOUR ZERO:
We will be starting our Emergency Drills this week. In Black Gold Regional Schools we use the "Hour Zero" emergency protocols. Here is a link to our website which explains this system: Parent Information on Hour Zero
VERIFICATION FORMS:
This is a quick reminder to get those online verification forms done. There were both email and text reminders sent out to you from Black Gold this past week. This replaces that paperwork package that we used to send home every fall. The faster you get this done, the quicker we can have our information updated. Already we have had to make some calls home and phone numbers and email addresses have changed and it makes communication very difficult -- this is worrisome to us, especially in an emergency. Thank you in advance for getting to this quickly!
GREAT TIP SHEET ON RESOURCES FOR PARENTS:
VTRA (Violent Threat Risk Assessment):
Please read this brochure that is posted on our BGRS website. This is the protocol that we follow when there is an immediate threat and you should familiarize yourself with it.
FREE LITERACY AND LEARNING DAY CONFERENCE: PARENTS, GRANDPARENTS ETC.
