The BIS Bulletin

Blair Oaks Intermediate School will host Parent-Teacher Conferences on Thursday, October 20, 2022, from 1:00pm to 7:00pm. The conference will include time to discuss your student's strengths and challenges as well as highlight growth and develop goals. If your child receives special education, the learning specialist will be present during the conference (unless there is a conflict). Research has shown that parental involvement increases student's success. Thank you for taking time to participate!

Please keep a lookout for grade level conference procedures and sign-up's in the weekly newsletters sent out by teachers. Each grade level operates a little bit differently and will communicate details directly with parents.

Blair Oaks Families,

Our Counseling Department needs your help. Every three years, we seek feedback from parents, students and other stakeholders through a Needs Assessment. The purpose of a Needs Assessment is to gather your feedback about our school counseling program. Your feedback will help us evaluate our school counseling program and look for ways to improve our services. Please submit your feedback by Friday, October 28th. We ask that you fill out the Needs Assessment one time for each building that you have students attending. We will include the Needs Assessment in our building newsletter each week until October 28th. Thank you for your help.

Jesse Hentges, BES Counselor

Monica Katnick, BIS Counselor
