Brockport families,

Each year, the New York State Education Department requires school districts to submit data regarding digital equity for students in kindergarten through grade 12. Brockport Central is asking families to complete a Student Digital Equity Survey to provide information on student access to devices and internet access in their places of residents, which will help educators better serve our students and families.

Please complete the Student Digital Equity Survey (New Student-Level Digital Equity Data Collection (2022-2023) | FamilyID) by Monday, January 23, 2023 at 11:59 p.m.

Student ID numbers can be found in Infinite Campus – Campus Parent on the “today” page or by calling your child’s school. Student ID numbers are also used as your student’s lunch ID and their Campus Student ID.

Instructions on how to set up a Family ID account are attached to this email. If you encounter any issues while creating your account, please contact Family ID.

Thank you,

Anthony Smith
Director of Technology/Data Privacy Officer

The new site will allow for easier navigation and consistent organization throughout. Features include, but not limited to:

• Enhanced handicap accessibility
• Each school’s website is organized similarly to the other schools and to our District homepage

• Photos of department staff and teachers are also featured more prominently throughout our site for better familiarity
• Better notification system to include notifications by text, phone, email and pop-up alert on our website home page

Additionally, we have improved our website update procedures which will result in our new website:

• maximizing handicap accessibility

Paper Tutoring Service Reminder!

Last year we were excited to introduce to our BCSD secondary schools the tutoring service Paper. Paper is a secure, online tutoring service that provides students with unlimited, 24/7 academic support with tutors who have been specially trained to conduct expert, academic support in a secure, chat-based platform. With a commitment to helping students learn, they will never give students answers, but rather interact with them in an encouraging tone to lead them forward.

Paper is a free service that we are providing, so students are encouraged to use it as much as they need, whenever they need. This year, we ask any students who would like to access this resource stop by their school’s main office to sign up. Once their account is activated, Paper will contact them and with sign in information via their school email address and they will be all set to access tutoring support in all of their academic subjects whenever and wherever they like!

If you would like to learn more about Paper you can sign up for a Paper hosted Parent Info Session, available in both English and Spanish. Or if you would like to speak to a member of the Paper team directly, you can reach them at parents@paper.co.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Rachel Kluth, Assistant to the Superintendent for Instruction.

School will be closed Monday, January 16th for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.

There will be NO SCHOOL for BHS students on January 27, 2023, as it will be a Rating Day at the High School. All other students should report as normal.

We want to remind all students and parents, food deliveries from food ordering services such as Grub Hub, DoorDash, or Uber Eats are not allowed at BHS.

Thank you for your understanding and support.
