Dear Parent Volunteers,

We are so grateful for all of your support as we take on our ambitious 
Constructed Response effort to get kids reading more informational texts 
and writing expository essays.

In the fall, during the first weeks of school, English teachers across 
the school targeted writing instruction along with strategies for close 
reading. In October over 2,400 freshman, sophomores and juniors read 
articles and wrote argumentative essays. Subsequently, ALL BHS teachers 
scored student essays and talked about student work. All of this efforts 
have contributed to a sense of collaboration around making sure that we 
provide academic rigor to all of our students.

In November, we repeated the efforts through our History courses. 
Constructed Response is a critical piece in our school wide transition 
to the Common Core State Standards and we'd love your support in making 
it happen!!

Thanks so much to the parent volunteers who have worked in the past to 
make this effort possible.  We had several volunteers help with 
organizing and distributing materials across the school in October and 
November. We couldn't have done it without you.

Now, we're approaching "round 3" of Constructed Response through our 
Science classes and we'll need your help again!

On *Tuesday, March 18th, *we'll need volunteers **to organize the 
materials for our second Constructed Response effort. Anytime between 
9:30 and 11:30 or 12:30 to 3:30.  We'll be working in the Admin 
building, starting at 9:30 and could use at least 6 people.
