Become a BIS Partner

How Can You Partner with BIS?

Community Forums are professional development opportunity for parents focused on what students are learning/engaged in at school with an opportunity to solicit feedback on school redesign efforts.

BIS will hold Community Forums every other month on a variety of topics of interest to our families and Cape Cod community. Add your voice to our topic selection and the discussions. Questions? Email Mrs. DiPilato

The Family Action Committee meetings are designed by families in conjunction with and supported by BIS faculty and administration to take action within the school to benefit our students.

At BIS we want families to be engaged in student learning and shaping the BIS Community. Please join us at any of the listed opportunities and bring your voice to our table. Questions? Email Mrs. Deneen

BIS is Striving to Become a Partnership School

Where do you see us on the continuum below?

Communication

Parents may receive school-wide communication through an automated calling system or school-wide letters. Throughout the year, automated messages may include important announcements of upcoming events and notification if your child is absent. Teachers communicate with parents primarily through the use of phone/voicemail, as well as through a variety of other means such as notes, student agenda books, Google Classroom weekly parent reports, email, the Remind app, interim reports, report cards, weekly/monthly “planners” and the computer grading program, Aspen (X2). Parents and teachers are encouraged to discuss which means of communication works best for them. Teachers will strive to respond to all communications within twenty-four hours. However, teachers have schedules that vary. The time of day during which the parent may call will influence whether a call is returned that same day or the following day. The staff values communication with parents and will make every effort to return phone calls in a prompt manner.
