Boles Weekly Vol. 32 | APR 19 - 23

Principal's Corner

Parents and Guardians:

We are offering afterschool sessions for any students taking a high school credited course at Boles who needs to make up time to receive credit. If a student has more than 8 absences in the fall semester for the course, they will need to make up time. If you are unsure, please contact your student's counselor. In-person students will attend the classroom noted, and virtual students will attend via the Zoom link. In order to receive credit, students attend 50 minutes. If virtual, students must have cameras on the entire time. Please use the button below to see the attached calendar for location and log in information.

We have great things happening at Boles Junior High! Even though we have students attending person and virtually, teachers are creating awesome things to help support all learners. Check out a few of our examples:

Thank you to all our families for filling out the survey letting us know your plans for in person or remote learning. If you have reason to change your mind, the form for you to let us know your new plans can be found on our school website, or by clicking the button below.
