Boonsboro Middle School
April 2019
From the Principal
Marking Period 3 report cards were posted in ParentVue on April 12th and paper report cards will go home with students on April 18th. Your child's teacher should be the first contact if you have concerns about his/her progress. If you would like a conference with all of your child's teachers, please contact his/her counselor. Please be reminded that each teacher offers additional help either before or after school or during lunch. We also offer Homework Club to all students (permission slip required) on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school.
Regular attendance remains a priority as we move into the final months of school. Grade level attendance challenges are in place and the grade with the highest weekly attendance can earn a reward (hat day, extra recess, etc.). As of today, we still have 74 students who have had perfect attendance all year! This is a great a accomplishment!
Thank you for your continuous support of student learning and achievement at BMS. As always, please reach out with any concerns or suggestions!

PTO Update
Required Immunizations
As of August of 2014, the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene requires all students entering 7th grade to have had:
· Single dose of Tdap vaccination (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis)*
· Single dose of meningococcal vaccination (MCV)
*Tdap is not the same as DPT or DTaP. Even if your child has received DPT or DTaP in the past, they will still need a single dose of Tdap.*
We will be offering a vaccination clinic at BMS on May 28th to 6th grade students in need of these vaccines. More information will be provided.
Emergency Pick-Ups
Thank you for your help!
