Coffee with the Principal Tuesday AFTER SPRING BREAK
Our next Coffee with the Principal is after Spring Break…Tuesday, April 19 at 8:15am on Zoom. We plan to preview our end of the year activities. At every Coffee with the Principal, families can ask questions and offer ideas. Last year, we had more families participate in the Coffee with the Principals than ever using Zoom. We plan to continue this practice to open up more access for families. Your full name must be displayed in Zoom for you to participate in the meeting.

It is our pleasure again to invite you to our next workshop, "What I Wish My Parents Knew," held this time at Westview High School on April 19 from 6:30 to 8:45 PM in the Performing Arts Center. We will offer a series of interactive workshops, two of which you will select to attend, on topics identified by students as their greatest challenges today. Facilitators will include principals from 7 PUSD secondary schools, including BMMS’s principal, and various representatives from our community. I helped lead the Dealing with Academic Pressure workshop. This program has been presented to more than 6000 of our parents since we began these workshops in 2012.
