Hello Bears of Bryan Middle School!
We have had a great first week back from break. Students have done an outstanding job returning to their education. The second semester focus has been amazing. We are excited for what this semester is going to bring! As we continue into the semester, students and staff will continue to utilize masks covering their mouth and nose. Please ensure your student is wearing one each day.

All students will take an iPad test that adjusts to each student's learning level. This helps teachers adjust their instruction for each student. Here is the testing calendar!
