Back to School
Back to school night 2020
Welcome back to school! Looking from outside the building you might not be able to tell we are in session. Inside is a different story. Walking the halls I can hear the Zoom meetings in progress. I see energy in the staff as they tackle this new digital format. While it might not look it, it certainly feels like the start of any other year.
Our Back to School night is normally a time when the students get to walk their parents through their academic schedule. It's also an opportunity for the teachers to meet with students' families to put names to faces. And like many of our activities this year we are having to adjust to how we provide this experience to all of you.
This year we are providing a Virtual Back to School Night. We’ve designed a webpage to provide both students and parents an introduction to all the Blanchet faculty and staff.
Here are the instructions...
- Parents and students please make time to sit together and go through the videos of the students’ teachers below by clicking on the photo of the teacher and then clicking on 'Watch Intro Video'.
- Students walk your parents through your Google Classrooms, share with them how your Zoom meetings have been going.
- Take our Back to School Night Survey for a chance to win a $50 In & Out Burger Gift card! The drawing for the winning family will be held on Monday, September 21.
Back to School night is intended to give you a sense of 'a day in the life' of your student and what they are experiencing at Blanchet. Thank you for joining us in our virtual back to school night.
If you have questions about a specific class, please contact the specific teacher to arrange a meeting. Our teachers have office hours each Friday and can also meet during the week if necessary.
Communication is paramount during this time of digital learning. We will continue to send out information in our newsletters, every morning in the announcements, social media, and posted on our website.
By Courage and Faith

A Few Reminders:
