From the Principal
Thank you to those of you who were able to join us yesterday for Parent Visitation. We had over 100 parents in attendance! If you wanted to visit, but weren't able because of other obligations, please e-mail me and we will arrange another time for you.
I cannot stress enough how important regular attendance is for your child's academic success. I have charged our teachers with providing rigorous instruction each and every day and frequent absences will lead to gaps in student learning that may by difficult to recover. Please note: WCPS policy allows 3 days of vacation to be excused each year. Requests must be made in writing/e-mail at least 10 days prior to the trip.
I hope all of our BMS families have a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving! ~Principal, Lindsey Avara-Reynolds
From the PTO
The Box Top classroom winner was Ms. Harris' 1st period class! These students will receive a special breakfast on November 20th and the classroom will receive an extra $50 towards supplies. Remember to send in Box Tops to your student's 1st period teacher! The next contest will end February 15th.
We have decided to hold the 2nd Annual BMS PTO Color Run this spring. Stay tuned for more information, including a date!
Reminder: The PTO meets on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 5:30 PM in the BMS Media Center. We invite all members to join!
