BMMS Playbook The Middle School Experience Our hope is that each and every student, before leaving Black Mountain Middle School, has learned the importance of self advocacy, intellectual grit, and tolerance. In this world, many people will do their best to look after you, but your best advocate is yourself. Learning will not always be easy. Strength is the product of struggle. You will become resilient by refusing to quit during intellectual struggles. We need to remind each other every chance we get that tolerance, kindness, and love are greater than other force in this world. Each day, we want our students to be happy, to learn, and to be safe. https://www.powayusd.com/en-US/Schools/MS/BMMS/Campus-Info/About-Us/2020-2021-BMMS-Playbook | Our Website | Communication Look for Weekly Principal Updates with information about the upcoming week, sent out on Sundays through the connect-ed system as an email with a link to the newsletter.
