newbb电子平台学生定位 (BSO) believes that a student's support system at home and the people in their lives are critical partners in the transition process. To assist those people in a successful transition for our students, all student programs coordinated by BSO have an optional family and guest program that happens concurrently with the student program. Family and guest participation is not required, but strongly encouraged.
Family and guest orientation includes sessions specifically designed to inform and educate family members and guests about newbb电子平台 and its educational opportunities, as well as strategies for supporting their student with common transitional issues. While some sessions on program days will include students, participants in these programs should expect to be in their own program to meet these objectives.
Sibling Orientation (一年级 Programs in May, June and July Only)
newbb电子平台学生定位 hosts sibling orientation programs during 1.5-day first-year orientation programs in May, June and July. This program is open to siblings of incoming first-year students attending BSO who will be in grades 6th-12th in the following fall semester. Participants in sibling orientation are engaged in activities outside of our traditional family and guest sessions that are created specifically for them to have a fun and enjoyable BSO experience. This program takes place during the same times as our family and guest sessions of the BSO program. 客人介绍费 apply for participation in this program. Siblings should be signed up through the same process as other family members and guests, 如下所述.

When students sign up for their BSO program, they are asked to indicate how many family members or guests will participate in orientation. Students will also be asked to provide names and email addresses for family members and guests participating. If this number or the information about those attending the program changes after the student signs up for the program, they can edit the information provided in the sign up process by clicking the appropriate link in the confirmation email received when signing up. Our virtual BSO programs include a family and guest orientation track with some separate sessions for those interested in participating in the program. Separate family and guest fees apply, so be sure to review those before completing the sign-up process.
