Bpsblizzardbags.wordpress.com Website Review

We are excited to have the opportunity to pilot learning projects for school day cancellations. We will be the first district in the state of Mas*achusetts to try this with the as*igned “Blizzard Bag” work that is available on this BPS Blizzard Bag site. As with any pilot, we expect that there will be a lot of questions and that not everything will proceed exactly as planned. However, we are committed to offering multiple methods to support students so that they can complete their work successfully. Questions will be answered live on our Blizzard Bag phone line at 1 (512) SNOWDAY (1-512-766-9329) on Tuesday, April 28 from 4-7 p.m. Voice messages and texts can also be sent to this number during the duration of the as*ignment and will be responded to daily. In the meantime, we have also created an e-mail address where you can send questions ([email protected]). We will share all of the questions asked on the Frequently Asked Questions page on this BPS Blizzard Bag site. Of course, your student’s clas*room teachers are also a great resource for questions and we will be adding support opportunities that are available at individual schools in the days ahead as well on the website. Teachers will be checking in with their students during the week of May 4, which is the midpoint of the projects, to make sure that students are making progress. It is our hope that at least half of the as*ignment will be completed at this time. If students have any questions about expectations or length of as*ignments, they should ask OUR FINAL DUE DATE FOR THE AS*IGNMENTS IS JUNE 1, 2015. If students complete their work prior to that date, they are welcome to turn them in early to their teachers. Since the work is meant to be substituted for two days of school, all students who do not complete the work will be marked absent for two days. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding as we work through this pilot. We look forward to Please visit this site for information and details about student work that must be completed to ensure learning goals are met. STUDENT
