Who assigns the grades?

​

Teachers at BHUSD are experts in designing and delivering instruction. This includes assessing students’ knowledge via activities and projects. BHUSD teachers assign marks for completed work using a BHUSD report card.

 

What is the parent’s role at BHUSD?

​

Unlike homeschooling, parents are not teachers at BHUSD but they do have an important role in their student’s education. Parents should help their students create a quiet space for work as well as protecting time to complete their work.  Parents are learning partners and help ensure students are on task and keeping up with their daily work. This assistance with time management is especially important for younger students. Most students require less parental support as they get older.

​

What if my student needs additional support?

​

ILC teachers will have weekly open office hours. Students can attend these office hours virtually to ask questions and get assistance with their assignments. In addition, there will be tutoring sessions offered in English, Math, Science, Social Studies, and World Languages for Middle and High School students. 
 

Can students participate in any extracurricular / after school activities / sports if the Department of Health allows for group gatherings?
