Athletic Updates
All information for BWMS athletics can be found at bigwalnutathletics.net
Reminders
- Unfortunately, BWMS cannot provide supervision of students until 7:15 AM so we ask that parents arrange drop off schedules accordingly. At that time, all students report to the cafeteria until they are released at the first bell at 7:30 AM.
- 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.
- If your child will be absent, please call the attendance line at 740-965-7786 by 8:30am on the day of the absence.
Stay Connected with Schoology
