Elite Level Homecoming!
Homecoming was a huge success! Thank you for supporting our school and community this week by cheering at the events and dressing up to show your school spirit! We were so proud to honor our first ever "Kindest Redskins" of each grade level! These Redskins were voted on by their peers and that is a huge honor! Being Kind is a huge focus for us at BCMS as it is a skill that will serve everyone well in LIFE.
We have an exciting week ahead at BCMS!
All field trip forms for our 1st nine weeks trips at the end of September went home on Friday!! We are excited to offer these learning opportunities to our students. 8th grade is going to the National Mighty Eighth Museum in Pooler and the cost is $7. 7th grade is going on a walking tour of Downtown Savannah and the cost is $2. 6th grade is taking a tour of Georgia Southern and there is no cost. The due date for all forms in Wednesday, September 19th. Students will need to bring their own lunch or get one from the cafeteria. Students who have served a full day of ISS or OSS since the beginning of school will need a parent/guardian to accompany if they wish to attend the field trip. We also ask that 7th and 8th grade students turn in exact change when they submit their field trip form.
Please contact your child's teacher if you have questions regarding field trips.

#ReadersAreLeaders (The 5) WIN!
WIN time Works!
How you can support WIN time at home:
We are proud to offer WIN time daily to our scholars to grow a culture of readers!
1. Encourage reading at home!
2. Help your child find a great book
3. Go to the library
4. Get on your iBooks and download samples of some classics! I just downloaded James and the Giant Peach by Ronald Dahl!
5. Do a read aloud together!
We can't wait for you to see our NO STRINGS ATTACHED reading inside our #LittleFreeLibraries
If you have books to donate, please bring them to the main office!

Notes from Ms. Raeburn (The 10)
We have been in school for one half of a semester now! If you have questions about your child's grades, please contact the teacher, either by email or REMIND. Often times, talking to the teacher about work, test, and assignments can give you a great insight into the class. Our teachers love to meet, so if you would like to set up a meeting to discuss your child's performance in class, please do so! We are not sending home progress reports this year. We are asking that you use the POWERSCHOOL portal to keep an eye on grades and assignments and look for a report card to be sent home at the end of the 9 weeks!
The peeks of the week are listed under our "weekly updates" tab on our website. We hope you are finding this information helpful in keeping up with the day to day of your child and what they are doing at school.
Other #BeBCMS Nuggets:
E+R=O
I hope you have noticed the posters and visual reminders around our school. E+R=O is a simple skill. The E stands for the event (what happened), the R stands for how your responded (your action) and the O stands for the Outcome (what did you get). We are helping our scholars to think about E+R=O in every situation. Our goal is to help our scholars begin to see and understand that the better their R is, the better their O will be!
PLEASE sign up to use Powerschool. PowerSchool is our grading and information communication system. Sign up is EASY! Stop by the front office and we will get you signed up and get you a login. You can use it on your phone and from an app! Never wonder again about missing work, upcoming work, or grades! It's all at your fingertips in Powerschool!
