A Message from Ms. LaPorte


From Ms. LaPorte:

The district has created a centralized location for all technical support. If you are having a problem with your BCPS issued laptop, call 754-321-0569 from 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
 
Be sure you are logging in via SSO/Clever every day. You should also be checking all of your Canvas courses on a daily basis. Trying to keep track of assignment and test due dates can be a little tricky, so you may want to go old-school and have a paper desktop calendar to write everything down to help keep you organized and manage your time wisely.
 
Seniors, a video message and letter was sent to everyone through Parentlink about the virtual graduation ceremony plans. It would have been sent to your BCPS email and to the parent email that is registered with the school. I did not see it on the BCPS webpage, but the letter is on the ATC High School Webpage. I don’t know much more than what is in the letter, but I will let you know any additional information as I find out more. Refunds for Grad Bash, prom, and the dance are being processed and mailed to your homes, so you should see a check soon. We are trying to put together a couple of other things as well. I know none of this will make up for what you have missed, but we are working to try to give you some positive memories.
 
Stay strong, support one another, and look forward to the future,

Ms. LaPorte

Hurston chose not to align herself with the political ideologies of ot...
