BMES Family Weekly Update
Week of August 28, 2022
Message from Principal Wagner
How exciting it is that we are now rolling into the 2022-2023 school year. It was a pleasure to meet many of you at Open House this past week. As we begin to prepare for this year, there are several reminders to share.
This evening at 6pm, the PTA will be outside BMES for our annual Chalk the Walk. We would like to have parents come out and write positive and encouraging messages on our sidewalks for our Eagles to read tomorrow morning during arrival.
Also, if you haven't already done so, please stop online to Rycor to complete the Student Handbook and Technology Agreement form for your child. Once complete, those students will be able to use YCSD devices and internet network. No devices will be issued until the students have a completed form on file. Included below are the online links for Rycor, MySchoolBucks, and PTA membership.
Lastly, there will be no school for students on Friday, September 2 and Monday, September 5. We wish you a great holiday weekend!
See you all tomorrow,
Mrs. Wagner

All students in PK-2 also needs these forms completed in order to use YCSD devices while in the classroom as part of their instructional activities.
