Friday Notes

September 23, 2022

Homecoming takes a village...

Homecoming cannot go smoothly without help from our BJAMS families and friends. There is much to do to ensure it is a success. Please follow this link to the event signup sheet.

We still need attendants at various PTO tables from 4:00-6:00

Please consider spending just a half hour out of your Homecoming attendance to pitch in!


Reminders:

  • There is no ASP on this day: Please make arrangements to ensure your student is supervised by 3:15 pm. Events/activities begin at 4:00 pm
  • Homecoming is a dress down day for students and staff - we ask that folks wear school colors (burgundy and/or gold)!

  • Playground/Nature Trail: The playground is open for family-supervised use - the nature trail is closed! Students (even if supervised) are not permitted to use the nature trail during Homecoming.

  • Smoking, vaping, and/or the consumption of alcohol on campus are not permitted.

Get your BJAMS merch!

You've been asking, and we've got the goods! BJAMS apparel store is opening next Friday.
