Week One
We miss you!
BMS Students,
With Madison County moving to the eLearning, our BMS staff wants to ensure that we are still connected. We will post weekly lessons for you to complete as well as activities for your elective courses. We are heartbroken that we will not be able to interact with you at school each day, but support the decision in order to keep you safe. We truly miss seeing you everyday, but hopefully we can chat via GoogleMeet!
Be safe and if you need us, please reach out.
Kind regards,
Ms. McCutcheon, amccutcheon@mcssk12.org
Ms. Bell, agbell@mcssk12.org

please contact your teacher.
First, we want you to know that we miss seeing your faces and speaking with you each day. Although we are not at school, we are still here for you virtually. Please know that we are here to support you and together, we will make it through this difficult time. We are available via email Monday - Friday 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM if you would like to reach out to us.
