Dear Falcon Families,
Welcome to the 2026-27 school year at Blach Intermediate School. Staff is excited to welcome our students back- especially our new families who are just beginning their time at Blach.
We want to give you a little bit of information to get you ready for the new school year.
Schedule Day is Friday, August 7th!
Students and their families are invited to pick up their course schedule on Friday, August 7th. We ask that incoming 7th graders come between 9am and 10am. 8th grade students may pick up their schedules starting at 10am.
8th grade Leadership students will be available to give tours of the Blach campus and advise students on the best routes to class. We will NOT be selling PE uniforms at this event. Instead, each student will be given a PE uniform for the year through their PE class/teacher. Extra PE uniforms will be available for purchase- but the first one is given to each student.
Can’t make Schedule Day? No problem. Just be sure your student picks up their schedule in the Blach office anytime after August 8th. You can pick up schedules in the office from 8:00am to 3:00pm (the office is closed on the weekends).
IMPORTANT: We can only give assigned schedules to the student or their family member. If you have someone other than the student or a family member picking up your student’s schedule, you MUST notify us via email of who is picking up the schedule. Essentially, you are authorizing someone else to pick up your student’s schedule.
PowerSchool Information Must Be Filled Completely before a student schedule can be issued.
Last week, in your inbox, you received an email from “noreplyenrollment@powerschool.com”. This IS NOT junk email! Please click on this link and fill out the required information which includes updates on emergency contacts.
If you have already done this, THANK YOU! However, as of this morning, only 290 forms were completed- which means many of our fabulous Blach families haven’t completed this important step.
Please make sure you fill out this critical PowerSchool information. The information you provide (like who is authorized to pick up your student in case of emergency) is essential and we need to have it in our system by the first day of school. We will not issue the student a schedule if the PowerSchool information is not filled out. We will have support staff available at Schedule Day to assist parents/guardians in filling out this information.
Falcon Camp
Blach utilizes the first two days of school, August 12th and 13th, to orientate our students in all things Blach. We call it Falcon Camp! Students will stay with their advisory class those first two days, building relationships, learning about the Blach Way, and getting comfortable with the junior high setting. Falcon Camp is a fun, easy way to ease the transition into the school year.
