BCMS Attendance:
Now that all of our students have a device for at home learning, your child will have a daily assignment or interaction requirement for most classes. This might include live lessons, live interactions with teachers, watching an online lesson, or submission of coursework.
Student participation in scheduled live lessons, Google Meets, Google Chats, or phone calls is required.
Teachers will submit attendance hourly based on your child’s participation.
If your child cannot participate in daily learning activities due to internet connection, illness or vacation, please contact the BCMS attendance secretary:

Emergency Test Message—October 8
BHM Schools wants to ensure that we are communicating with parents in the most effective way possible. On Thursday, October 8, 2020, mid-morning, the district will send out a district-wide emergency test message to parents and guardians from our parent notification system. You should receive a call, email and text messages (whatever information you have on file with your child's school). Especially with the upcoming winter months, we want to be sure parents/guardians don't miss any important messages from the school or the district about cancellations or delays. Remember this is ONLY a TEST and NO action will likely be necessary.

BCMS Fall Activities
Volleyball was moved to February and will run until April. We will be competing against other local schools who have made the same schedule change. It will look very much like it has in the past, just at a different time of the year. While you won't see those two sports at BCMS this fall, you will see cross country, girls tennis, and both boys and girls soccer.
All of those sports are competing with other schools as we follow safe play guidance from the State. Some of those guidelines include limited daily participants, no issuing of lockers, social distancing on buses, and the need for spectators to social distance while attending events. It is great to see all these athletes finally get a chance to participate and enjoy themselves outside after school.
The first events of the fall at the BCMS Stadium as the Girls Soccer team prepares to take on North Branch in front of a socially distanced crowd.
