West Hills STEM Academy News

Hello Families!

We are so excited that we have already reached the second semester of school! Last week you should have received your child's report card. Please let us know if you had any trouble reviewing it online.

Report cards are a great time to visit with your student about the progress they are making in their classroom. They are also a great time to reach out and communicate any concerns or questions you may have with the teacher. Also a great way to track your student's progress is by looking at their iReady work. Every student knows how to access their iReady on their district Chromebook. Next month we will have teacher conferences as well to check in one more time before the year comes to a close. Please be sure that you sign up!

The ABCs are our improved Annual Back-to-school Check-in process or ABCs (formerly known as the Annual Demographic Update). Please take a few moment to complete this important process.

The ABC process must be completed for all students in the district - including both previously enrolled as well as newly registered students.

We have updated our Tech Support for Families website for 2021-22 and invite you to check it out!

A link to the tech support webpage is on every school and the District website (look for the graphic like the one on the left), and can be accessed at BremertonSchools.org/TechHelp.

We are pleased to offer free online tutoring through TutorMe for all Bremerton School District students in grades 3-12. Students can access TutorMe through Clever.

More information is available on the District's Family Technology Support website.

The mental health of our students is a top priority. That’s why we’re offering a free new service: Gaggle Teletherapy.

If your student is feeling sad, hopeless, angry, or anxious—or having challenges with family, friends, or relationships—therapy could help.

Gaggle Therapy is a free, confidential option to connect weekly with a therapist online and on your student’s schedule. Students can be referred by a teacher, counselor or parent, and students age 13 and older can self-refer.

Getting started is easy and only takes a few minutes. Learn more or sign-up your student here.

The Peninsula Community Health Services clinic at Mountain View Middle School provides services to Bremerton School District students (Preschool - 12th grade) and staff. PCHS can bill most insurance companies. Learn more at BremertonSchools.org/Clinic.
