FALL ZOOM CONFERENCES:
Due to scheduling difficulties, we will be holding our fall zoom conferences during the week of October 9. This will be in place of our regular November conference. Please use the link on the right to sign up for a zoom slot that works for you. We look forward to discussing your child’s progress with you!
Parents: Please make sure your child has headphones or earbuds that can stay in his/her desk all year long!

*While your child is allowed to bring home his/her chromebook, we don't recommend it on a regular basis because we don't have chargers for kids to take home. Their chargers are in our cart. When students take home their chromebooks, they often come back dead and are unable to be used in class. All of our resources can be accessed anywhere on any device where there is internet! Start by visiting www.birmingham.k12.mi.us and scroll down until you see the link for logging into classlink. Ask your child to show you around ClassLink and what we have used so far.

*Please check this blog daily for homework updates and important information.
