BWMS Parent Update
1/7/22
Welcoming 2022!
Greetings from BWMS. Can you believe it is the year 2022?
Although we have much to celebrate from the 1st semester of the school year, there is still much to still achieve. This is a great time to sit down with your student and talk about goals. Have your student develop 1-2 long term goals with 2-3 short term goals to help them accomplish their dream. Next, have them write it down where they can see the big picture goal daily and don't forget to check in within them about how things are going. Modeling the goal setting process from adults help students see the importance of setting goals and then recognize the intrinsic value of meeting those goals.
Enjoy the weekend,
Mr. Josh Frame
