This is a
reminder that schools and government offices will be closed this Friday,
September 30th in recognition of National Truth and Reconciliation Day.
In previous years, September 30th was a school day and members of our school
community were encouraged to wear orange shirts to honour and recognize the
survivors of Canada's Residential School System, the children lost, and the
impacts on First Nation and Metis communities.
As there
will be no school on Friday, we are encouraging students and our school
community to wear orange on Thursday, September 29th. Students and staff
have been engaged in learning activities related to Truth and Reconciliation,
Residential Schools, and Cultural Awareness throughout the week.

Mr. Daigle |
| Dear
Highlanders Families,
As of
Friday, February 18, the province has changed the level of restriction, and we
are now following the level one guidelines. You can find these on the district
website: https://www2.gnb.ca/content/dam/gnb/Departments/ed/pdf/K12/9-12-winter-plan.pdf.
Here are the changes that we are bringing to BMHS.
- Unfortunately, personnel and
students must still wear a mask at all times.
- Morning bells: Students are
asked to be in class by 8:30 a.m. Make sure the door is open. The
objective is to minimize gatherings in the main foyer in the morning.
- The cafeteria will be at full
capacity for luncheon. Students will not be allowed to eat in the main
foyer, and in the hallways or benches.
- Lunch in the classroom: we will
continue to allow students to eat in the classroom, but minimize the number
of classrooms used. We will revisit this practice after March break. I appreciate
your understanding.
- We are allowed to small
assemblies and limited events. We are going to integrate them gradually
back in our school culture while keeping safety for all in mind!
If a
household member of a student or school personnel tests positive, the student
or school personnel will not be permitted to attend school for 5-10 days
depending on their vaccination status.
I would like
to thank the parents/guardians in cooperating in informing the school of the
positive cases. We will continue with the following process, in the case of a
positive test of our students.
- Isolate your child right away
and follow provincial guidelines: Positive (gnb.ca)
- Inform your school by calling
and leaving a message at 856-3469 or by completing the online form: https://forms.office.com/r/pEanJ4e782.
- Report your positive test to
Public Health (if POCT rapid test was used) Point of Care Testing – Positive Result Self Reporting
(snb.ca)
- Important: It is the parent’s
responsibility to report their child’s absences in the “Safe Arrival/School
Messenger”, not the teachers. They should use the code IL if they have
COVID and OI if they are simply self-isolating.
There is a
PSSC meeting this week on Tuesday evening, if you have any questions for the committee,
please send them an email: psscbmhs@gmail.com.
Grade 12
students that are doing their Oral Provincial Interview are asked to
schedule their appointment time ASAP. They can get their information on the Teams page created by Mr. Agnew.
On Thursday,
we ask that student to wear BRIGHT COLOURS to
remember the passing of our beloved Debbie Smith, who passed away last February
24th, 2021.
BMHS |
| Dear Highlander families,
It's great to see the students coming back
to BMHS. It is important for us to continue the in-person learning so that we
can all have an excellent semester. To minimize the likelihood of spreading the
omicron variant, we ask students to follow some simple rules. We found that
most of them do the best they can, but we have to remind them to respect the
restrictions. We ask for your cooperation in speaking with your child about the
importance of following school guidelines to ensure everyone's safety.
·
Students are always required to
wear a mask, except when eating and drinking. A student could be sent home if
he does not abide by that rule.
·
At breakfast, students must be
in class, in the cafeteria or at home. Students may not hang around hallways or
in their cars at noon.
·
If a new or worsening symptom
develops, a student is not permitted to attend school until they have had a
rapid negative test (POCT).
If your child has a positive test, as a
parent or guardian, you need to:
·
notify the school by phone and
leave a message at school 856-3469 or by completing the online form: https://forms.office.com/r/pEanJ4e782.
·
report a positive test to
public health. https://www.pxw1.snb.ca/snb9000/product.aspx?productid=A001P351902
·
Complete "Absence Management"
or "Safe Arrival" to report their attendance. (Code illness)
If you child must isolate due to a close
contact, you must:
·
fill out the “Absence Management”
or “Safe Arrival” to report their attendance. (Code OI)
We appreciate your cooperation in this
matter,

Students should be on their "teams" at the start of each period. The
attendance is recorded for each period.
The school is open tomorrow from 11:45am to

ASAP. If you do not participate in the
sit-in, you will not be in the yearbook or the grad class composite.

BMHS appreciates everyone’s effort this week in supporting their
child’s learning under these extraordinary situations.
Home learning will continue next week if the CUPE strike
has not been resolved.
If home learning continues next week, Monday from 11:45am – 1:00pm
the school will be open for students to pick up any materials from their locker
if they did not come by last week.
Grad photo appointments will continue at the offsite location
if the CUPE strike has not been resolved.
If a resolution is reached over the weekend, Monday’s appointments will
still be offsite due to the set-up time for the equipment. Stay tuned for an update regarding this
information.
We understand that some graduates have not been able to book an
appointment time for your grad photo.
The company is working hard to find a solution. Potentially the company is trying to set up a
2nd camera at the offsite location.
If this is, the booking site will open-up with additional appointment
times for those who were unable to book. A message will be sent out once a decision is
made.
Parent Teacher Interviews will take place virtually
again this year. An online booking
system will be set up and the link sent in a talk mail message next Wednesday,
November 10th. The booking
system will stay open until Tuesday, November 16th at 3:30pm. Interviews will be held on Thursday,
November 18th 6:30 – 8:00pm and Friday, November 19th
9:00 – 11:30am. Please reserve your time
for an appointment with the teachers of the classes you wish to check your
child’s progress.
Varsity girls’ basketball tryouts will be held offsite
on Sunday, November 7th from 5:00pm – 7:30pm at the North End YMCA,
70 Twin Oaks Drive. The players will
need to show ID and their vaccination record to be permitted in the building.
And finally, clocks are moved back an
hour this weekend, Highlanders families are reminded to change your clocks at
the end of the day Saturday. Daylight Saving Time ends
at 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 7. So, students on Monday don’t turn on
your teams’ classes one hour early, you have an extra hour to sleep.
We wish you a lovely one extra hour this weekend. |

GRAD PHOTO update:
The company LIFETOUCH has been able to secure office space
to honor the grad photo appointments for Thursday, November 4th and
Friday, November 5th and into next week if the CUPE strike
continues.
The address of the new location is 653 St. George Blvd. The building is St. George Place across from
the Irving gas station and Down East Coffee.
To enter the building go to the right side of the building and use the
first set of doors on that side of the building.
We will have BMHS signs indicating where to go once you
enter.
Please show up 10 minutes before your scheduled appointment
time to check in.
Make sure you have your debit card or cash to pay for the
sitting fee. (Cash may be best in case
they cannot access internet at the site)
The gown and sash will be provided for the picture.
For those grade 12 students who had appointments booked for
Monday, November 1st to Wednesday, November 3rd please
try to use the link below to re-book another available time for the remaining
days Thursday, November 4 – Friday, November 12. The hours have been extended to try to make
up for cancelled appointments.
https://booknow.appointment-plus.com/1dqyyrrv/
If you cannot keep your scheduled time, please cancel it so another student may
be able to fill in the space. Teachers
will be made aware that grad photo appointments are moving forward. It is the student’s responsibility to send a
message to their subject teacher to let them know that their appointment time
conflicts with the class time for that given period. The student is responsible for catching up on
the missed work and any instruction.
If you have any questions regarding the bookings, please
reach out to Ms. Susan Lockwood via email at susan.lockwood@nbed.nb.ca |

As home learning continues, all Grade 9 students will be
expected to register for “Take Our Kids to Work Day” this evening or tomorrow
morning if they have not already done so.
Students are asked to sign into a TEAMS meeting with their Period 1
teacher Wednesday, Nov 3rd by 8:45am. Take Our Kids to Work day is
an entire day event that will be held virtually, and Period 1 teachers will
give more directions for the Grade 9 students entire day. There is no need for Grade 9 students to
check into TEAMS for Periods 2–5 on Wednesday.
Grad photos are still cancelled for Wednesday, Nov. 3rd.
We have been advised that the Bell phone number given as a
resource to support students with at home learning technical problems was
discontinued. We apologize for any
inconvenience. If students are
experiencing difficulty with technology, we ask them to troubleshoot with a
friend or a teacher.
Attendance
- Teachers are recording attendance for at home learning daily. This is based on students logging on to the TEAMS site to receive direction from their teacher. Please make sure your child connects with
each of their teachers daily through TEAMS to keep on top of their learning. The expectation is that teachers can teach live
via video or be present during the class to answer questions that students may
have.
Just a reminder that some French Immersion students have an Oral Proficiency Provincial Exam coming up on Thursday and Friday. Please check your student email to find the time of your interview.
