Mr. Corso’s Principal’s Message
Positive Raiders: Responsible, Respectful, Hard Working and Kind
We have made a plan for students to come onto campus to retrieve items from their lockers and drop off library books, pick-up medication, if applicable. Social distancing practices* must be adhered to.
Please watch this video to help us ensure easy flow of traffic and practicing social distancing: https://youtu.be/MxOqm7mlEI8
The EFBMMS (our Foundation) and PTSA have also provided FREE 2020 Promotion Lawn Signs for each 8th Grader. Thank you so much EFBMMS and PTSA! Please wear a mask when coming onto campus, maintain 6 feet between each other, and quickly move through the process of collecting your personal items, and leave campus promptly.
Schedule:
8th Grade - Monday, May 18th, 9 a.m. - 1 p.m.
7th Grade - Tuesday, May 19th, 9 a.m. - 1 p.m.
6th Grade - Wednesday, May 20th, 9 a.m. - 1 p.m.
All Grades - Thursday, May 21st, 3 p.m. - 5 p.m.

Students are currently still participating in Distance Learning, therefore, we are not collecting classroom books, instruments and/or Chrome Books at this time. Information regarding these items will be coming soon.
Yearbooks on Sale Next Week...During locker clean out days next week, we will be able to sell yearbooks for CASH ONLY -- $40 w/ASB card, $45 w/oASB card. Please know your student's Homeroom teacher. Having your student's ASB card will make the process faster, but it is not necessary. We will take orders Monday, 5/18; Tuesday, 5/19, and Wednesday, 5/21 from 9:00-1:00 p.m. and Thursday, 5/22 from 3:00-5:00 p.m. All purchasing options posted online already will remain in place. Yearbooks will not be distributed during these days.
Promotion Update: We are finalizing details regarding our Promotion. Our plan must adhere to local regulations related to social distancing and safety. We are looking at a drive thru promotion along with a video ceremony honoring our 8th grade class. Dates and details will be coming soon.
Have You Tried Something New?: A few weeks ago, I challenged students to try something new. I have been trying to learn to ollie on a skateboard. If you are willing to share with our BMMS community what you have learned, please check out this FlipGrid (you can see my attempt to ollie too). https://flipgrid.com/corso2434
Parents, are you looking for more challenging resources for your kids? Here is a list of additional BMMS Distance Learning Enrichment Resources LINK
