AdvancEd Parent Survey & Open House

2016-2017

The Blythewood Way - All In!

Be The Spark!

Reminder, please join us for Open House, Tuesday, September 13th from 6:00 - 8:00, there will be two sessions for your convenience.  During Open House, you will also have the opportunity to participate in the AdvancEd Parent Survey for Blythewood Middle School (if you have not already done so).  As I am sure you know, accreditation is a big deal!  The goal of district accreditation is to  ensure that Richland School District Two and the schools therein maintain high standards of educational quality.   If you are in need of additional information regarding the AdvancEd Parent survey, more information will be provided at Open House.  Our goal is to have 100% of our parents participate in this survey.  The survey can be filled out using your Smartphone.  Please bring it with you to Open House.  Time will be allocated for you to fill out the survey during your classroom visit.

Please note that individual teacher conferences will not be available during Open House. This time has been set aside to get general information regarding classroom procedures and expectations from your child’s teachers.  Individual conferences are able to be scheduled on the evening of Open House and will be held on September 22nd, our next Early Release day.
