Beaverton Junior/Senior High School -

Happy Thanksgiving! This message is to remind everyone that our Y5’s-8th grade students are returning to school on Nov. 30th and, per Michigan Health Dept order, our 9th -12th grade will return Wed., Dec. 9th. All homework that has been assigned by teachers is required to be completed for a grade. Teachers are available every day to help anyone who needs it. Please visit your google classroom or call our school office for more information. We are here to help. During this temporary closure of in-person learning, we encourage as many students as possible to complete the work online via your teacher’s google classroom. However, we have had packets available 24hrs a day, 7days a week, since last Wed, for anyone who does not have the technology or connectivity. 7th & 8th grade students will bring their completed packet back to school with them on Nov. 30th. For 9th - 12th grade students, you will need to turn your completed packet into the provided bin outside the main office and pick up a new packet. Starting tomorrow, Wed. Nov. 25th, a new packet will be available for 9th - 12th grade students only. This new packet will need to be finished and brought back to school with you when you return on Dec. 9th. Finally, I want to remind every student that it is absolutely vital you are active in your own learning. You have work to do and it is required for a grade. If you have questions, please reach out to your teachers or the office. Thank you.

MHSAA statement below. Volleyball Quarterfinal is scheduled for Tuesday, December 15th. https://www.mhsaa.com/Portals/0/Documents/AD%20Forms/MHSAA%20Guidance%2015.pdf High School winter sport practices scheduled to begin on Wednesday, December 9th.

Good afternoon families. As you know the district is closed for in-person instruction until Monday, November 30th. At that time, K-8th grade students will be coming back for live instruction, however, 9th -12th grade will remain on virtual instruction until Wednesday, December 9th, per the Michigan Health Department order. In light of that, we are offering virtual instruction to all of our students. All assignments given during this temporary closure will be graded. The preferred method for completing work is online through Google Classroom and HMH. It is strongly recommended that students complete their work using this method. However, we understand some families do not have internet access or the technology. It is expected this is a temporary closure, therefore, the district will not be loaning out Chromebooks. For those students who cannot complete their work within their google classroom, BJSHS will be offering homework packets for pickup. Homework packet pickup will be available starting this Wednesday, November 18th @ 1pm. The initial homework packet will cover material through Thanksgiving, Packets will only be available outside the BJSHS main office for self-service, no contact pickup. After Wednesday, they will be in that location 7 days a week 24hrs a day, come anytime that is convenient for you. If you come to pick up a homework packet, you will need to know your student’s exact classes and teachers. It is very important to have this information prior to coming up to get the packets. The completed homework will need to be returned to school on November 30th or dropped off outside in the completed work box. Finally, I would like to encourage as many students as possible to complete all their work via their Google Classroom and HMH. The last reminder is to remember each student is responsible for completing this work and it will be graded. As always, call the BJSHS office with any questions.

Please see the MHSAA memo explaining that volleyball tournament has been postponed, as well as winter sports. No practices or competitions are allowed until December 8th. https://www.mhsaa.com/Portals/0/Documents/AD%20Forms/MHSAA%20Guidance%2014.pdf Any new information received will be shared immediately.
