Congratulations to our December Teacher of the Month!!
Coach Major currently teaches Math support to 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students. He was previously a physical education but has fully embraced his new position this year at BHMS. In addition, her serves as the head basketball coach and is an assistant football coach. He is frequently seen taking math outside of the classroom with his students coming up with ways to engage the struggling learners that he teaches. He is a graduate of Southwest High School and Macon State College.
His personal mantra is "my neighborhood nor negative people determine my future. My future is determined by the decisions I make."
His colleagues state that he is always eager to lend a helping hand and is always positive. We salute you Coach Major. Keep roaring. !

Reminders....
When signing a hall pass in the agenda for students, please make sure that they have properly filled out the hall pass stating their destination. Students must have a hall pass to leave your class room. ***Blank copies of the hall pass can be found in the work room.
Please continue to use the Ipad located in the office suite to sign-in and out each day. If for some reason the Ipad does not work, please sign in on the paper sign-in sheet on the desk.
Please make sure that you are utilizing Educators Handbook to document both minor and major discipline concerns. The hall monitors should only be utilized to remove students from classrooms when there is a major incident. If a hall monitor is asked to remove a student then the incident should be recorded as a major incident in Educators Handbook.
Please email any item that you would like to include in the announcements by 8:00 am each morning to Dr. Nash. Email is the most efficient way for getting the announcements read.
Please remember that the expectation is that we have bell-to-bell instruction. There should never be a time in which students have nothing to do in a classroom. Please make sure that you over plan. Our students are not in a position where we can afford to waste a single minute of instructional time. Our achievement scores are the biggest indicator of this. If you need assistance coming up with additional assignments please see your academic coach or an administrator.
Please make sure that you do not cover your classroom windows or office windows. This is a safety hazard.
Now that each homeroom teacher has a class set of books, the expectation is that you establish a SSR period in the morning during home room. As students begin to enter your classroom from breakfast, please have them read. Because this is something new, it will require you staying on students to ensure that it is occurring. Please explain to them the purpose behind the reading and how it will ultimately help them be better readers and thus more successful in their academics.
-All students should utilize their green AR folder when going to the media center.
-Please make sure that you are utilizing the magnet strips in your doorways. The district expectation is that doors are locked and that the magnets are utilized which will allow for easy access to rooms, in the event of an emergency the magnet can be quickly removed and the door is still locked. See Mr. Allen if you need a replacement magnet.

"AYEE, Aight!!!"
-Ms. Brooks, Ms. Evans, and Ms. Bush for going above and beyond to assist our REACH scholar with being prepared for the district luncheon.
-Ms. Williams for being self-less and volunteering her services in unorthodox ways.
-Ms. Jackie Raines for always being willing to step in and fill a void without anyone having to ask. She is an exemplary team player.
-Ms. Miller and Ms. Kendricks for stepping in to help with registrar duties.
-Mr. Allen for scheduling and meeting with 8th grade parents this week.
**We know that there are many other staff members who are doing phenomenal things in the classroom and building and we can't wait to see them.
Intervention Schedule: Rotation schedules are due to Dr. Nash by Monday morning!!

*Just a reminder that the Math, ELA, Science, Social Studies, and Reading teachers on each team will only teach their content during the intervention period (Tuesday through Friday). This will give you time to provide additional remediation and enrichment to your students based on CFA and CSA data.
