Special Services Nominations
Has a BPS staff member made a difference in your life or the life of your student? Nominate them for a Special Services Spotlight! We know that our Birmingham Public School staff work for our students. Staff commitment extends from teachers to paraprofessionals and everyone in between. They work for our students’ well-being. We want to take the time to recognize these staff members. They go above and beyond. They have made a difference in the special services community at BPS. Students, families, and staff can nominate one or more staff members. These nominations allow the staff to receive a feature in our upcoming newsletter. They also grant an opportunity to be recognized at an upcoming FODL community meeting. Please use this link to nominate these special staff members.
