Resources for Parents
Part of the dynamics of learning is parent involvement. Here at BJHS, we fully believe that the students will learn and be most productive, when the parents take part in their student's education.
Each class is designed to provide the best possible Technology education to my students. I believe that parents have the right to be involved in their student’s education. I also believe that an educational system is at its best when both parents and students are participating.
To that end, if you have any questions, comments or concerns, please do not hesitate to call or email me. I think that an open dialogue between teachers and parents is essential for the overall success of each student and I look forward to working with you throughout the year.
Getting Involved
Below is a list of websites to help get the parents involved. The following sites are excellent resources that can provide new ideas, fresh insight, and a helpful hand for parents.

This site helps parents to get up to speed on things that happen online, and helps the student gain an understanding of the dangers that exist online and how to deal with them. Their tagline is "Educate. Engage. Empower".
