Weekly Hoots #SoaringTogether October 16 - 20

From the Desk of Dr. Gantt From the Desk of Dr. Gantt

Good evening Wise Owl Families,


We are quickly approaching the end of the first nine weeks. I have seen a lot of growth in our students, already!It's been exciting getting into classrooms, seeing the amazing work that everyone is doing. I have always been taught to "shoot for the stars, and even if I fall short, I'll still be out of this world!"


As we move into the second quarter of the school year, many students are now starting to encounter material that is new to them. I've asked our teachers to push our students pass their comfort levels because comfort is the enemy of progress.


GRIT, in the world of education means to Grow, Rebound, Improve, & Try again.


Please continue to encourage your children to have GRIT and to perservere through the difficult. Their teachers believe in them, you believe in them, and I believe in them.


#SOARingTogether!

Rooms Introduction (BCSD)

Rooms Rooms

Rooms is a two-way communication and messaging tool integrated directly with your BCSD app.


To centralize communication and to ensure a more "one-stop shop" method of communication from school to home, WES will move from Classroom Dojo to Rooms, which is aligned with our BCSD app.


We will be sharing more information with Rooms in our Thursday Folders over the next month with the plan to have full implementation by Friday, November 10th.
