Georgia Milestones FUN!
Our students absolutely LOVE our GMAS baskets each year! Each day of Georgia Milestones testing, students can earn up to 4 tickets for the following: Be present, Be on task, Work hard, have a charged chromebook. Of course, this is EASY PEASY for our amazing Bulldogs. Once students receive their tickets, they place them in a box according to which basket they would like a chance to win. Basket drawings will be held May 17th.
BMS clubs, office personnel, and staff members sponsor many of the baskets. If you are interested in sponsoring a basket or donating a gift card, please drop it off in the office by May 1st.

Coweta County School System Middle School Handbook Dress Code Policy
In the interest of having a safe, orderly school, which minimizes distractions and maximizes the
learning environment, a dress code has been established for all middle school students in the Coweta County School System. Every middle school student is expected to dress and be groomed in accordance with acceptable standards of cleanliness and modesty.
1. Shorts or skirts: the shorts or the skirt must be of appropriate length. Generally, fingertips should not extend below the hem of the clothing, maintaining modesty at all times.
2. Low-cut tops and/or blouses are also not allowed.
3. All shirts, blouses, and dresses must have sleeves.
4.Clothes should not expose areas of the stomach, sides, or back.
5. Holes on clothing above the fingertips should not expose skin.
6. No items of clothing are allowed that may be affiliated with gang activity, as defined by administration and law enforcement.
7. No “hardware chains” may be worn as belts, wallet chains, or jewelry. No chains of this type are
allowed on school campus or at any school function.
8. No bandanas may be worn or displayed during the instructional day.
9. No items may be worn with inappropriate pictures, symbols, or lettering. This includes, but is not
limited to, depictions of alcohol, drugs, or weapons. Statements that might be deemed offensive to others are prohibited.
10. Pajamas, lounge pants, and/or house shoes or slippers may not be worn to school unless approved by the administration during special occasions.

If a student is in violation of the dress code, he/she will be given the opportunity to correct the
violation. If the student fails to correct the violation, he/she may be asked to call home for appropriate clothing and/or may receive disciplinary consequences as determined by the administrative staff.
Cell Phones and Smart Watch Use
Cell phones may not be used during the instructional day and must be on silent and put away in their backpacks at all times. Students are permitted to use the designated student phone located in the office during school hours for emergencies or for illness. Students should not use a cell phone or smartwatch to call home or text when sick. Any student who is ill should go through the Bass clinic. The school nurse will call parents directly. Calling home for homework, a school project, or to make arrangements to attend an after school event that wasn't previously arranged is not permitted.
