Happy Tuesday! I hope this message finds you somewhat rested after holiday weekend. I am writing with few quick tidbits. One, grades must be entered in Aspen before midnight tomorrow. For those who do not have access to Aspen, please see John Splaine to input your grades. A question has been raised about entering numerical or letter grades. OIIT has assured us that numerical grades will be automatically converted to letter. We're good to go there. I appreciate you're efforts.
Also, we would like to celebrate the first quarter accomplishments of our young scholars on Monday, November 25th with grade level assemblies. The schedule is as follows:
12th - 2nd Period
11th - 3rd Period
10th - 5th Period
9th - 6th Period
An announcement will be made when it's time for the students to head down. Kindly escort your class the auditorium.
Lastly, the BHS library is on the move. Check out the goodies below.
Best,
Pat
P.S. If you haven't signed up for the bowling event scheduled for this Friday ( 3-5 at Flatbreads in Somerville), it's not too late. Sign up sheets are in the main office. The cost is only $30 per person. Special thanks to the "Go Go's" for keeping us connected.
