BWMS Parent Update
9/13/19
Grade Update Day
Parents,
Can you believe that today Friday 9/13/19 is the mid-point of the 1st quarter? We call these Grade Update Days and we encourage all parents to log into PowerSchool to check the progress of their student's performance. Have a conversation with your student about how things are going and what they are learning. Find out how they take advantage of the multiple opportunities to be successful by reassessment at BWMS. Also, information about signing up for a conference on Tuesday 9/24/19 is posted below.
Have a great extended weekend!
Sincerely,
Mr. Josh Frame

Reminders
- Parent Drop Off and Pick Up should use Fairland Drive. This is for the safety of our students riding the buses coming in from the Cheshire Road entrance. We ask that you pull all the way down to the Orange Cone so we can drop off and pick up as many students as possible. Please do not drive around other cars when exiting.
- If your child will be absent, please call the attendance line at 740-965-7786 by 8:30am on the day of the absence.
