Middle School Accelerated Learning
Middle School Summer School is for students entering grades 6-8. BISD Summer School teachers will get to know their students well and understand where and how they need to develop to grow as individual learners. Our teachers use data from multiple sources to diagnose student needs, use their professional skills, and share knowledge of best practices to personalize learning for every student. Each day, teachers will work with students in small groups and individually to get more structured support for students. Students will participate in math and reading daily in exciting courses designed to support growth in needed areas for accelerated learning and/or for high school credits. All summer school students in middle school will attend North Richland Middle School. Transportation will be provided from the home campus as needed.

Frequently Asked Question
How do I log in and access my course?
Login using the Birdville Portal at https://launchpad.classlink.com/bisdtx/. Your username and password for the Birdville Portal will be the same as you used to log in to a desktop computer in a lab at your school. If you have never logged onto the Birdville Portal, you will be asked to set 3 security questions before gaining access. These security questions allow you to reset your password without going through the Technology Help Desk.
What if my login does not work for the Birdville Portal?
You will need to go to the library where staff will reset your password. After your password has been reset, you will need to log on to a desktop computer in the library to change your password. A naming convention recommended for your password is:
FirstletterofhighschoolCAPITALIZEDhs8digitbday. For example, a student born on January 1, 2002, attending Richland High School would make their password: Rhs01012002
