Dear BHS Parents and Students:
We cordially invite you to join us for Briarcliff High School's Virtual Back-to-School Night on Wednesday, September 22nd, 2021. The program will begin at 6:30 p.m. and end by 8:15 p.m.
This year, like last year, Back-to-School Night will be a family event as parents will be using their child's laptop and technology skills to meet using the Microsoft TEAMS platform.
The virtual evening will begin promptly at 6:30 p.m. with parents/guardians logging on to their child's TEAMS platform beginning with period 1 as per the schedule below. Similar to previous years, each class period will be ten minutes long. During this time, teachers will share expectations and procedures with you in a virtual group setting. Course descriptions and objectives, as well as teaching and learning strategies will be discussed. As always, the organization of the evening does not lend itself to individual conferences. If you have a question or concern specific to your child, please contact the teacher prior to or after the program.
Kindly access the Parent Portal and print out a copy of your child's schedule to follow on Back-to-School Night.
