December 1, 2020 Update Regarding In-Person Learning
If you are unable to come to in-person learning on Wednesday, please know the following:
- We are developing our systems for students who opt out of in-person learning. Please continue to pay attention to communications, as expectations and supports may evolve over time.
- If you are unable to attend Wednesday instruction at Edmunds, please have a parent/guardian email Ms. Roach, Attendance Coordinator, at mroach@bsdvt.org.
- Students will not be penalized for missing in-person learning on Wednesdays.
- Treat a Wednesday absence just like any other absence. Students who miss on Wednesdays must connect with their classroom teachers to determine what they need to do in order to make-up work. Some in-person learning activities cannot be replicated at home, so students may be given an alternative assignment or they may be exempted from the in-person assignments (this is up to teacher discretion).
- Students who know they will be out on Wednesdays are strongly encouraged to check-in with classroom teachers during Tuesday office hours.

Dual Enrollment Now Open
BHS Juniors and Seniors,
There is no better time than the present to take advantage of Dual Enrollment! Enroll in college classes and earn both high school and college credits following successful completion. It’s also an incredible opportunity to demonstrate to colleges that you are prepared for the rigor of the college academic experience. Another option is to continue with upper level world languages. Below are the links to our area colleges, if you are interested please email Dhyana Bradley at dbradley@bsdvt.org for more information about how you can start enrolling in a college class this spring! Dual Enrollment opened on November 11th and will continue until mid-January. This program is a first come first serve basis.
Please note that since most colleges are virtual, students may also explore online courses through Northern Vermont University, Castleton University, Landmark College, and Norwich University.
In Person Learning Update 11/14/2020
Hello BHS Community,
As you all know, Superintendent Flanagan announced on November 2 that BHS would return to in-person learning on Wednesdays at Edmunds Middle School beginning in mid-November. During the time subsequent to this announcement, Superintendent Flanagan notified our team and community that after meetings with UVM officials, there was a strong possibility of BHS using the UVM campus for classes as of December 1. As a result of this we began planning for this shift, while still finalizing details for using the Edmunds campus on Wednesdays in case the UVM option was not viable.
Superintendent Flanagan is optimistic that the UVM scenario will move forward, which means we will not begin in-person learning on Wednesday 11/18 at Edmunds. The goal is for us to begin school at UVM on December 1. Please see below possible scenarios:
- UVM option is confirmed-BHS will begin using the campus on 12/1 or 12/7
- UVM is unavailable for BHS use-BHS will begin weekly Wednesday in person learning at Edmunds on 12/2
We hope to have an answer in regard to UVM by Tuesday. We know that the uncertainty around these possibilities is causing some angst but BSD and BHS are doing what we can to create a more stable situation for our students. You will receive another correspondence mid-week with an update on this situation. Please be well. Thank you.
Noel Green, Principal

Congratulations BHS Boys Soccer!
Congratulations to the BHS Boys Soccer team who defeated Essex High School 1-0 in over time on Saturday 11/9/2020!
Thanks everyone, thank you for your support. I want to thank my players and parents first of all, but this was a huge win for us (BHS staff and our whole community.) It was nice to see the large support from our BHS students and community members. I want to thank the teachers for allowing my players to leave or miss class due to practice/games. We are all going through these tough and difficult times and it is not going to get easier going forward this winter. Please, reach out to my players and congratulate them on a fine season. Stay Safe!
ALL IN
