WELCOME TO BLACKHAWK

August 13, 2024

Dear Blackhawk Middle School Families,

My name is Diana Vergara and I am proud to serve the Blackhawk Middle School community as Principal. We hope you have enjoyed a wonderful summer filled with special moments with family and friends. As we prepare for the 2024-2025 school year, we are excited to share some updates and welcome you back to Blackhawk Middle School!

Also joining our staff this year is Jacquelyn Le-Mon serving as our new Assistant Principal. Ms. Le-Mon brings over 12 years of experience in middle school education having served as a teacher, team leader, curriculum coordinator, and assistant principal. We are confident that she will be a wonderful addition to our team, and we look forward to the positive impact she will have on our school community.

As we prepare to begin the school year, we have some important dates and details to share. First, to celebrate the start of the school year we will have the Back to School Bash on Tuesday, August 20 from 1:00-3:00 PM. Throughout the two-hour event, Blackhawk Middle School students will rotate by grade level through different stations where they will:

Meet their new teachers and administrators.
Tour the building, walk their schedules, and test their lockers.
Socialize while enjoying a snack, music and games.

In addition, our Curriculum Night is scheduled on Thursday, September 19 from 6:30-8:00 PM. This will be a great opportunity for families to learn more about what their middle school student is learning here at Blackhawk Middle School.

Finally, we are excited to welcome back students on August 21, our first day of the school year! Students are permitted to enter the building starting at 7:30 AM for breakfast in the cafeteria, and all students will enter through the main doors (Door 1) in the morning.

Please refer to the district website for any additional information.

I am thrilled to meet our Blackhawk Middle School students and families! See you soon!
Sincerely,

Diana Vergara
Blackhawk Middle School Principal

BSD2 eFlyers

District 2 has gone "green" in its approach to distributing community flyers.

Rather than sending flyers home with each student via backpack mail, District and community flyers are posted on the BSD2 E-Flyers page for parents to view or print 24/7.

It is estimated that this saves our schools hundreds of hours per year spent sorting and handling the materials, not to mention the number of trees and other resources saved in producing them.
