Important Updates
- The Big Walnut HS graduation is scheduled for Saturday 5/22/21. Congrats to the Big Walnut Class of 2021.
- All 8th grade students will need to turn in their chromebook and charger on Tuesday 5/25/21 to their Advisory teacher. Please be sure that your student removes all of their personal stickers. Any 8th grade student completing summer work may hold onto their chromebook over the summer in order to complete these requirements.
- Real Money, Real World will take place in 8th grade social studies classes on 5/24/21 and 5/25/21. This is a career and budgeting simulation to help our students prepare for the real world of paying bills.
- Wednesday 5/26/21 is our last day of school for students. The entire district will be on a 2 hour early release schedule. Also, BWMS students will enjoy our SOAR Awards Day with teacher created awards and additional activity times with their advisory classes.
- 4th Quarter grades will be posted live in PowerSchool on Thursday 6/3/21.

Mask Update Outdoors
- Due to the recent changes in health guidelines, our health department is allowing students the option to take their masks off when outside provided they are actively moving and are not less than 3 feet from each other for more than 15 minutes. The BWMS SOAR Day will be an outdoor event on Wednesday 5/26/21 that meets this criteria; therefore, we will not be requiring students to wear masks. As a family, you have the option to have your student wear a mask for this event. If you would like your child to wear a mask for SOAR Day, please email their Advisory teacher or the Office. Students who wear masks will be able to take socially distanced, safe mask breaks during SOAR Day due to the weather. While we are happy to be able to offer this option outdoors, the most recent health order requires schools to continue following mask requirements indoors. This process does align with how our other schools in the district are treating their field day.

Update from Delaware General Health Department
In an effort to help speed up the notification process to the DGHD, they are asking families to use the self-reporting link below. This information is shared directly with the health department and eliminates the snail mail that is currently being used.
We would ask that families that if they have a positive case in their home to use this link as well as notifying the district nurse at megantruax@bwls.net.
