West Intermediate Families,
Due to circumstances related to COVID-19 cases in the Bixby community and the subsequent impact relative to staff shortages, Bixby West Intermediate grades five and six will participate in Brick to Click on Monday 1/10 followed by distance learning beginning Tuesday 1/11. All other grades will remain in-person.
At this time, we are awaiting testing results from several staff members. We anticipate 5th and 6th grade students will return to in-person instruction on Tuesday 1/18. However, we will continue to monitor conditions closely and keep you apprised of any updates to this schedule.
At this time, all 5th and 6th grade families should:
Keep an eye out for further communications from both Mrs. Shaw and their classroom teachers.
Review the Distance Learning Guide and daily schedule for their student’s grade level. Those guides can be accessed here:
Review the options/locations for free wi-fi access throughout our community if needed.
Remember, all things Technology Support at BPS can be accessed here.
Prepare a plan for childcare if needed.
Students approved for a district-provided Chromebook for distance learning will be able to pick those up on Monday 1/10. Families who will need a distinct-provided device can review that process here. Mrs. Shaw will follow up shortly with more details relative to the pick up schedule.
Other details:
Meals: families who wish to take advantage of our free breakfast and lunch service can pick up meals at the back loop (north side) near the cafeteria from 8:45 to 10:15 AM each day during this period.
Student medications: medications held in the school nurse's office may be picked up by the parent or guardian if needed. Please call the school during regular school hours to make arrangements. A picture ID will be required to pick up medication.
Your child’s teacher will be sending a follow-up email with details on distance learning schedule, etc.
Please let us know if you have other questions.
