BHES PTA INFORMATIONAL MEETING ON MCPS WOODWARD BOUNDARY STUDY (JUNE 3, 7-8PM, ZOOM)

The BHES PTA will be hosting an informational meeting about the four initial options from the MCPS Woodward boundary study that were released May 27. We plan to describe each of the options and their impact on the BHES community. There will be time for a Q&A session and the PTA will hold a vote among its members to pass a resolution on what we support as a school community. An agenda can be found here. 

The meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 3, from 7-8pm via Zoom, link below. This meeting is only for BHES PTA members.

The PTA's Boundary Study committee has drafted bullet points that we will share with the BHES community at this meeting.  You may use this information when you complete the MCPS survey on the initial options. The survey will be open for 6 weeks

THE PTA IS HERE FOR YOU

The BHES PTA is committed to promoting an enriching and supportive climate where all members of the BHES community feel safe, seen, and respected. The PTA -- primarily through its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee -- works to advance this goal through the following means: dissemination of educational resources for parents/guardians; organization and facilitation of Heritage Night as well as other events and small-group community conversations to help parents/guardians explore their family identities and issues of bias; financial support of assemblies and other in-school programming to advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging goals; and collaboration with school administration, teachers, and staff on development of materials to supplement teacher lessons on anti-bias and commemorative months. 

The PTA's DEI Committee welcomes input from all members of our community about how we collectively work to prevent and respond to hate-bias incidents within our community. If you are interested in sharing feedback, or joining the DEI Committee, please contact DEI Committee Co-Chairs Britt Hogue and Kathleen Foster at klubey@gmail.com
