Bouwens' Briefing  

To all the wonderful mothers,

I hope your children spoil you today! You can tell them it’s a Sunday assignment. (=

The following note is from BMS music department.

“The music people said that not many students are going to the website that was included on the one page music flyer that you all put out the day of the registration instructions.  The website asks students to put in the instrument that they are choosing as well as a google form for percussion fittings.  This is the website that they would like shared again.  Thanks!”

So, this week’s assignments are a little different. Our weekly sheet will offer both, math and ELA Monday through Thursday. Friday will remain science and history. Each day there will be about 60 minutes of learning suggestions for the students.

To help the children I will have a Q and A Zoom tomorrow at 11:00. If your child is all set with the new weekly work sheet they do not need to join this one. We will have another Zoom on Thursday for social interaction. (=

This link is for Monday’s Zoom. I also sent the students an email with the link.

I hope you are all hanging in there. I miss the students so much! Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help your family. I hope you have a blessed week!

Here’s something fun to do on a cold, blustery day. We started it today during our Zoom Meeting. (=

PLEASE APPLY TO GET YOUR ABSENTEE BALLOT TO VOTE ON MAY 5.
On the ballot for Hudsonville on May 5th is the non-homestead renewal. This will not increase property taxes; it will allow the continued allocation of approximately 5.3 million dollars for HPS operating expenses.

If you are a Hudsonville resident, apply ASAP for your absentee ballot.

This is the link to fill out an application to get the absentee ballot. https://www.michigan.gov/doc…/AbsentVoterBallot_105377_7.pdf
You can also contact the county clerk for more detailed information.

Please be sure to look at your child’s Google Classroom today. I sent out details for class selection for 6th grade from Baldwin Street Middle School.

I’m glad that the students got to visit BMS in March. They probably already know what courses they would like.

If your child struggles with reading or math I strongly suggest that they take the electives that will support them.

I hope you are all doing well. If there is a need for you or your family please send me an email and I’ll do my best to help.

I will have a Zoom time again this week, but I’m waiting to see what meetings I’ll have so that I don’t over book my Zoom time.  (=

I miss your children! I love the pictures from our visit to Captain Sundae! Such a fun time!

Week Update

There is a new sheet with the week’s lessons posted in Google Classroom. I will post answers later in the week.

I will be having a Zoom class meeting Tuesday at 11:00. An invitation to this meeting will be sent to the students’ HPS gmail. It’s best to join these meetings through the students’ school gmail to keep pop up ads from coming up.

I hope you are all doing well. I really miss “my” kids! I’m not cut out for this on-line thing. But, I promise to do my very best for your child. Please let me know if I can help.

Stay well!

Going forward the blog will be to give parents news updates as it pertains to school. The students will get news and things to do in our Bouwens’ Google Classroom (previously our Writing Google Classroom)

I put our history chapters in this class too. So, all the information for the students will be in one place, Bouwens’ Google Classroom.

Please have the students check their Gmail accounts to see when I add new information to our Google Classroom. I left them a note today. On Monday, there will be a document posted with things for them to work on for about 30 minutes, each day for a week. This is not mandatory. It’s for you and your child to use as you see fit.

Please email me with any questions. Stay safe!
