*Career Spotlight* Message from our Counselors....
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
Video Questions (2 minutes or less):
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

It's time for our awesome fundraiser! Turn in days will be every Wednesday starting August 30th for the next 4 weeks!
Very important for students to label their orders so they get proper credit for PRIZES!
Make sure students fill out the forms LEGIBLY! This helps so much with the process of tallying orders and getting the information processed!
Lunchtime for the next four weeks can be very exciting on PRIZE DAYS!
Thank you in advance for helping BGIS!

A note 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.

Important Parent Announcements - August 21, 2017
Hello Voyager Parents,
WOW- We just came inside from viewing the SOLAR ECLIPSE. Without our solar glasses, we would have missed it. The temperature definitely dropped a few degrees and the sky was not quite as bright. BGIS was not in path of totality but today will definitely go down in history as a special highlight of this 6th grade year.
Volunteers needed:
Parents, if you have some time and would like to help us, we really need some volunteers this week to laminate, cut, and hang some of our students' work! If you can volunteer, please email Ms. Roe. We would like our volunteers to come Wednesday, August 23rd from 9am until noon and again from 1pm until 3pm. The kids love to see their work "personalize" their new Voyager hall! Thank you for helping us.
We need a few items:
We have included a link to our signup genius asking for some items for our team. We will do this periodically. Note that every item is for your student! We will use these items during our team celebrations on Fridays and as class incentives & rewards!
Here's the link again: www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0B49AFAE2BA46-voyagers1
Open House:
Mark your calendars for MONDAY, AUGUST 28.
Come meet your child's teachers and hear more about 6th grade expectations at the PTO Parent Open House on Monday, August 28th at 6PM in the COMPETITION GYM.
Thanks
Voyager Team Teachers
Ayers, Beck, Powell, and Roe

We will do our best to have all devices checked out and at the school within the first week of school starting.
