Counselor's Corner

Message From Our Principal

Hello Branson Families!

This has been a strange time for everyone, with social distancing, stores closed, and the fear of running out of toilet paper being a real thing. With all of that uncertainty,  I am very happy that Branson School Online can operate as usual. I hope that in this one area our students can find a source of familiarity and comfort when many other things are not.  

One thing that is changing for us, is that we will not be holding CMAS testing sites this year. We are still waiting on confirmation for PSAT tests, but I am sure those will be following suit as well.    

I am hopeful that we will be able to have our graduation and the end of the year trip to the zoo in May, but the coming weeks will likely dictate that as well.  I know that canceling or postponing graduation is sad for any graduate and families of those graduating. We will do our very best to make sure that this monumental occasion is still recognized, in some way.  We will of course keep you updated on any changes.

One exciting change for us during the pandemic is that our teachers have decided to increase the number of InterestEd sessions for the remainder of the school year, and open those opportunities up to families outside of BSO.  If you have friends or family members that are struggling to find activities for their students, please encourage them to join us. We are excited to offer this outreach to our families and community, so please do join us.  Information about these upcoming sessions will come from your homeroom teachers, as well as being posted to our Branson School Online Facebook page.  As always, if you have ideas or suggestions for our InterestEd sessions, please share those with us.

We have nine weeks remaining this year. I encourage all of our students to stick to their school schedule as much as possible and finish the year strong! Please stay safe and healthy!

Happy learning!

Leanna Christians

February InterestEd

Our February InterestEd sessions were a huge success!  Students had the opportunity to create a family tree craft, participate in a talent show, go on a virtual field trip and much more!

Mark your calendar and watch your email for the next round of InterestEd opportunities!

Next InterestEd: March 26, 2020

If there is a topic you would like to see presented during InterestEd, please email your ideas to your homeroom teacher.

Science Fair

Our 4th and 5th grade BSO students did an incredible job with their science fair projects this year!
