BWMS Parent Update
1/21/22
Preparing for Scheduling
As we see the calendar push to the end of January and look to welcome another new month soon, we do want to highlight that the scheduling season for the upcoming school year is upon us. Most core classes come with a recommendation from teachers into the next level and are typically added to the course requests. Next, students review the variety of Related Arts classes and we ask for them to identify their top 6 semester selections. Families can find all they need in our BWMS Program of Studies Document which outlines the process and includes all of our course descriptions for next year. Never fret, we will send home a parent sign off page in order to ensure that parents are in the loop with course selections for the 2022-23 school year. In terms of 8th grade students moving to the high school, their will be an incoming 9th grade orientation on Tuesday 2-15-22. Stay tuned for more information.
Have a great weekend,
~Mr. Josh Frame

This is a low season for food banks after big holiday drives. We will accept non-perishables and basic self-care items (toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant).
Student council will be collecting items during advisory. The advisory that brings in the most items will receive a celebration of choice (pizza, ice-cream, or hot cocoa).
