Dear BJHS Families, We wanted to provide you with an update on the status of the cooling system at BJHS. Our dedicated maintenance staff has been working tirelessly to secure solutions. We have located a replacement chiller that should be on site late in the afternoon today. In light of these circumstances, and the forecasted temperatures for tomorrow, we have made the decision to continue with remote learning for Wednesday to allow for installation and testing. This means that students will not attend school in person Wednesday, August 23rd, 2023. We understand the importance of having students and staff back in the building as soon as possible. However, that decision will be dependent on the progress of the repairs and the prevailing outside heat conditions. We will send additional communications home regarding the work that your students can complete during their remote learning day. Please be on the lookout for these materials and instructions. As we navigate through this period of extreme heat, we want to emphasize the importance of staying cool and hydrated, the well-being of our BJHS students and staff is of utmost importance to us. We appreciate your support and understanding as we work to address these challenges and create a safe and comfortable learning environment for our students and staff. Thank you for your continued grace, support, and understanding. Queridas Familias de BJHS, Queremos proveerle una actualización, del estado en el que se encuentra nuestro sistema de enfriamiento de BJHS. Nuestro equipo de mantenimiento ha estado trabajando sin descanso para encontrar una solución segura. Hemos encontrado un reemplazo que proporcionara enfriamiento y que será colocada el día de hoy por la tarde. En vista de estas circunstancias, y las muy altas temperaturas pronosticadas para el día de mañana, hemos tomado la decisión de continuar con el aprendizaje remoto el día de mañana miércoles para dar tiempo a la instalación completa y las pruebas pertinentes del equipo. Esto significa que los estudiantes no asistirán a la escuela en persona el dia miércoles 23 de agosto, 2023. Comprendemos la importancia de tener a los estudiantes y al personal de vuelta en las instalaciones lo antes posible. Sin embargo esa decisión depende de la velocidad de las reparaciones y de las condiciones de la temperatura exterior. Le enviaremos información adicional acerca del trabajo que su estudiante puede realizar en casa, los días de aprendizaje remoto. Por favor esté al pendiente de este material y de las instrucciones. Mientras navegamos durante este periodo de temperaturas extremas, queremos enfatizar la importancia que tiene el hecho de estar debidamente hidratado, la seguridad personal de nuestros estudiantes y el personal de BJHS es lo más importante para nosotros. Apreciamos profundamente su apoyo y comprensión mientras trabajamos en esta situación para crear un ambiente estable y seguro de aprendizaje para nuestros estudiantes y el personal. Gracias por su continuo entendimiento, apoyo y comprensión.
