Please review your child’s course selections before they complete their online class registration. The online Course Request Window ends on March 31st for all high schools. In addition, your child should return the hardcopy of the CRF to their BMMS Homeroom teacher on March 31st..

PUSD 2022-2023 Continuing Student Registration is Coming in March!
Online Continuing Student Registration will be open from March 1- March 31, 2022. Parents and Guardians will receive an email notification once the website is open. We must receive a completed digital packet for all returning students. This will allow for proper placement of your student for the 2022-2023 school year.
This annual digital process will allow a family to complete one single “family” packet instead of completing one packet per student. Packets can be completed using any computer, tablet, or smartphone with an internet connection.
In preparation of this process, now is the time to confirm that you know your parent login username and password. This information will be needed to complete the registration packet. Please take a moment and ensure you can log into https://sis.powayusd.com. If you do not know your username and/or password, you can visit https://password.powayusd.com to retrieve your login credentials.
Please email our Attendance Tech, Connie Hunt at chunt@powayusd.com as soon as possible if you do not plan to return to PUSD for the 2022-2023 school year. Thank you for your attention to this important process.
Yearbook General Sales: Yearbooks may be purchased through Josten's website for $45.00 for the remainder of the year.
BMMS AVID: Soon, students need to select their elective for next year! AVID is a BMMS elective class offered to 7th and 8th graders. AVID is an acronym that stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination. The AVID elective class is designed for strong, determined students who want to go to college. Students must have a GPA of 2.0-4.0 and have good work habits and citizenship. AVID classes teach note-taking, organizational skills, time management, test-taking strategies, reading and writing across the curriculum, academic tutorials and are exposed to college and career choices. Black Mountain Middle School is the only AVID National Demonstration Site in the District and one of four in all of San Diego County.
