Month: September 2019

Last Thursday evening, we were pleased to host our first PAC meeting of the year. Our PAC President, Ms. Amanda Graver, set the stage by reviewing the agenda, comprised of parent questions and suggestions. Mr. Orders then shared a Google Slides presentation that addressed these items and provided a few other updates. If you missed this meeting, or you would like to review the information that was shared, you can access the slide deck here.

Several important highlights from the meeting include:

• • Baseline survey to drive our work & communication this year
  • Review of grade level teams (including new additions)
  • Information & updates on Global Humanities Historical Inquiry
  • Field trips and enriched learning opportunities
    • • Planned trips and potential trips still being planned
      • Request for parent partnerships (volunteer here)
  • High school special programs acceptance data

Please reach out to Amanda Graver with agenda items or suggestions for upcoming meetings, and thanks for your support!

 

 

Last night, Mr. Young (Science & Algebra, above) and the rest of our teachers welcomed hundreds of parents back to school and shared important details about their courses and themselves. Parents got a glimpse of their children’s experience as they navigated the hallways and worked their way through all eight classes. Many parents also took advantage of our informational meeting to learn about the myMCPS Parent Portal before BTSN officially got underway.

If you missed any or all of your children’s teachers, please feel free to use the Staff page of our school website to reach out and introduce yourself via email. You can also click here to access the brief presentation shared by administrators during Advisory (lunch). Several special guests, including representatives from our PTSA and Excel Beyond the Bell, were also available to share information and facilitate sign-ups. You can visit our main office for forms or sign up for the PTSA here. Thanks to all the parents who took time out of their busy schedules to join us last night — it’s going to be an amazing school year!
