Career Spotlight

Dear Parents and Guardians,

This year at Brock’s Gap Intermediate School we are going to be doing career spotlights throughout the year. WE NEED YOU! We want our parents to be our spotlights. We are asking that you video yourself answering a few questions and the video will be shared in our broadcast announcements.

We are looking for a variety of people interested in telling our students about their career. Many of our students are unaware of the career opportunities available to them and this is a fantastic way to provide them with first hand knowledge of potential career paths. This is also a great way for you to get involved in BGIS and make an impact on the students’ future.

If you are interested in recording a short 2 minute video telling the students about a “day in the life” of your job, please complete the following link. http://bit.ly/2vDNqdu

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions. The information is also on the Guidance & Counseling page on the Brock’s Gap website.

Thanks,

Catherine Bruno Coley Robichaux

FROM THE SCHOOL NURSE

Parents,

Students are NOT allowed to carry medication on their person while at school.  Please make sure you contact the school nurse with any need for your child to have medication at school. A prescriber/parent authorization form must be presented to the nurse along with the medication before any student is allowed to have medication ​ at school.  ​An adult needs to bring the medication along with the signed paperwork to the nurse. If you have any questions, please call Tyra Walker, RN at 439-1630​.

Calling all parent volunteers!!!

We would love your help in cutting these bottles for our science ecosystems.  If you could come Wednesday morning, that would be wonderful!  Thanks so much!

Solar Eclipse Day

Students are allowed to bring a cap to wear with the glasses on Monday.  They can also bring a towel or small blanket to sit on.

At Brock's Gap the school counseling services are addressed through the three major domains of the American School Counselor Association- Academic, Career, and Personal/Social.
