IPad notification
If you did not see the letter from our principal, Len Phelan, in your child's backpack, here are some important things to know:
- All iPads must be returned to the school on June 1st
- Upon collection, each iPad must be in working condition.
- Your student must bring in the charger, charging cord and case, also in good working condition.
- If a school official deems collected iPads or charging equipment to be damaged, and of the damage is intentional or due to negligence, the student will be responsible for the replacement cost:
- iPad Air2 WiFi & cellular - $600
- Verizon Case - $20
- Lightning cable - $7
- Charging Block - $13
- Unreturned school iPads will be considered lost/stolen property and will be located using the MDM location system and recovered through local law enforcement procedures.
- Students who fail to return the iPads to school are responsible for the replacement cost of the device.
- Additionally, students who do not return their iPads are at risk for not being allowed to participate in end-of-school year activities including: receiving yearbooks, attending field trips, sporting events, our school picnic and or the 8th grade Field Trip.

Burlington High School Scheduling Update
May 18,
2016
Thank you to
all who took the time to share your thoughts and words of encouragement. We are
working quickly to develop a course schedule that reflects student needs and
wanted to share GOOD NEWS on our progress!
We are in the “Second Stage” of
scheduling, with all core subjects complete. The stringent scheduling process
and budget savings are allowing us to add sections to accommodate
students’ choices.
As we review students’ elective choices,
we will make decisions on adding courses in Art, World Languages,
(Advanced Level and/or AP), Social Studies (AP) and Math (Algebra and/or
Pre-Algebra).
Students will soon start conversations
with counselors regarding potential conflicts in their schedules. Please
note that students have not received their schedules yet. This is a
continuous process and we need to ensure we have covered core subjects before
allocating electives.
We will complete all student schedules in
a timely manner.
By taking the
approach of adding requested courses to those that are needed, we are able to
develop a reasonable course of action. These actions keep us in line with our
budget objectives. While the original budget design called for up to 10 FTE
position reductions from the High School, we expect to achieve our budget target
with substantially less than that, given the adjustments being made. This puts
us in a position to add some, if not all, of the above courses. We intend to
meet the needs of our students, through an alignment of our financial resources
with a fresh perspective and approach to scheduling challenges.
Do
not expect continuous course offering adds. We still have to meet our budget goals, in order to not be facing the
same situation next year.
Look
for the next scheduling update in the first week of June, sooner if possible.
Sincerely,
Yaw Obeng
Superintendent
