Testing time is here! While we know this test doesn't tell our whole story, it is critical to be able to show our scholars and our families that we ARE growing scholars. This is the way we do that! You have done ELITE work preparing our scholars now it's go time the next two weeks! Remember, our scholars feed off our emotions. How we react and act to situations often times determines how the kids react. So please make sure to show poise in the pocket and encourage, inspire, and motivate our scholars to do their BEST and BELIEVE they can!
#KidsDeserveIt
- SMILE! Be Happy! #BeELITEInYour20SquareFeet! Be intentional! You set the tone for your day by radiating positive energy and body language! Relationships trump EVERYTHING else. Scholars don't learn from people they don't like! You can have ELITE level expectations and still build relationships that impact!
- Summer Experience Planning has started! All teachers: Please to complete a YES or NO form as to your interest in teaching this summer! There are opportunities to teach for a week if you are a specialty area: think PLTW. We need 10 educators! This is great opportunities for additional money and additional relationship building! The form is here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe62m3jXPrLe9nmaxOc1yqJLPIrUvnn-nTxPyDJTk7495XNyA/viewform?usp=sf_link
- Hallway Bulletin Boards: Please make sure they are current and not empty.
- All Lesson Designs need to be turned into the book for feedback. Thank you for turning in your plans. Please review your learning targets. Is there a KNOW and a DO? What do your OPENINGS (HOOKS) look like? What are you doing with your formative assessment data? Testing time does not mean we are slacking in the classrooms.
- ALL CLASSROOMS: need the standard and learning target posted on your boards.
- Dress Code: Please make sure all attire is professional, even on jeans days.
- BREAK continues on Thursdays.
- Please take time to review your TKES in the platform. Next rounds are beginning. Several folks have areas, not green checked. Please take a look. TEACHERS: please make sure you have checked off on your mid-year plans!
- STAFF: If you are going to be out, you must let me know. You can do that by text or email. No exceptions .Also, if you need to leave campus early, you must let me know via text or email. Please follow these basic guidelines

#WhatImReading
#SoManyBooksFind Your Yellow Tux by Jesse Cole
When Jesse Cole was walking through the parking lot at Bryan County Middle School on Friday, he was legit walking with a pep in his step and smiling. I watched him through my window and I thought: This guy is ELITE!
I hope you found Friday as ELITE and ExExExCiting as I did! I know our scholars got a ton from his HIGH energy and his message but I am hoping that our staff did too! He epitomizes everything I believe and strive to model as a leader and as a mom! It is so critical to LOVE what you do and be JAM UP for our scholars from 7:30-3:30! I challenge you to live that enthusiasm in all you do!
I also challenge you each to live his acronym that he created just for US:
B: Believe
E: Energy
S: Sponge
T: Thankful
My vision of Bryan County Middle School is to create and lead a school where other schools are creating their schools in the mirror image of us. That takes passion, excitement, energy, innovative ideas, ELITE instruction and an all day, all the time LOVE of our scholars and what you DO every single day. Remember: WE GET TO do this....we don't HAVE to do this........
Understanding the buckets and how to WIN at GAPS is our focus! Targets are set!
