BWMS Parent Update
8/23/19
Great First Full Week!
It was a great first full week at BWMS.
Today students had an Advisory Day. Our Advisory serves as the hub of student experiences for soft-skills and values development and common bonds between our Golden Eagles. During this time, students may receive structured support from teachers and contribute to the positive climate of our school by building strong relationships. I encourage you to ask you student how things in Advisory is going and if they are using this time to their best interest.
Have a great weekend,
Mr. Josh Frame
Updates & Reminders
- School Data Teams will take place next week to evaluate STAR Testing from Reading and Math. We use this information to help provide personalized supports within our classes as well as tiered interventions.
- Curriculum Night Videos will be available in Schoology on Friday 8-30-19. Each teacher will share details about their class as well as communication information for the 2019-20 school year so each parent knows how to stay in the loop about their student's learning.
- STAR reports should be sent home on Friday 8/30/19 with students in ELA and Math classes.
- No school on Monday 9/2/19 due to Labor Day.

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.
