Community Updates
Parents & Guardians, we need your help! In conjunction with our School Improvement Team (SIT), we are asking all parents/guardians to help us out by completing a survey on school safety and school culture/climate. This survey will be shared now and at the end of the school year. The purpose of sharing the survey now and at the end of the school year is to help us determine how we are doing in regards to safety and culture/climate, and how we can continue to improve. The survey should not take more than 2-3 minutes to complete. We greatly appreciate your help with this.
BMS - School Improvement Team - School Safety & School Culture/Climate Survey
Your BMS PTO needs your help! They are looking for three parents to help out at ALL home soccer games in order to generate proceeds to go towards athletic uniforms and other athletic needs. There is a sign up sheet in the front office, if you'd like to sign up. Let's work together to help our athletes look top notch while they compete!
FOR ALL FAMILIES
Parents,
This year, our federally connected survey date is Friday, October 27, 2023. This survey will document the students that are federally connected by having a parent that is on active duty or a civilian employee on federal property. Federal regulations require that we collect this information EVERY YEAR even if you have already completed it in previous years. We have moved this process online via Scribbles instead of sending out the paper survey cards. Due to federal guidelines, we are required to have parents/guardians who are federally connected to complete a survey as of, and not prior to, our survey date, which is October 27, 2023. Please login to your Scribbles account and complete the Military Information Update form for each of your PCS students. This will enable us to capture accurate data to submit the Impact Aid Grant. We are asking that this be submitted no later than Friday, November 10, 2023. If you are unsure how to submit the form, please contact your school for assistance.
Thank you!
