Message from the Head of School – September 17, 2021

Back to School
I saw some very happy faces this week as we were able to welcome students to the BIS campus due to the Level 3 announcement. I speak for the faculty and staff in saying, thank you for your assistance through the distance learning period for your child – having parental/guardian support is absolutely critical for learning to occur.

Schedule for Class Visitations
Please note: BIS switches the Blue/Gold cycle every two weeks to ensure students are having an equal opportunity to meet with each of their teachers on a regular and equitable basis. I will post the entire Term 2 schedule in the eNews for your information.

Term I
Please be aware of the Secondary reporting timeline. Reports will be sent via email on October 1 accompanied by the sign-up sheet for virtual conferences. On October 8, Primary and Secondary students and parents are invited to virtual conferences with your child’s teacher(s). 

Last year provided us the opportunity to conduct conferences in the virtual format. We have concluded that the experience allowed parents to join the conversation while remaining at home/work. Most importantly, it allowed us to have safe conferences. The conversations remained powerful and informative. We will continue with this protocol this October 8.
