BWMS Family Update
10/21/2022
Starting Quarter 2
Families,
It was a great week at BWMS. We are now into the first week of the second quarter and a great time to reinforce with your student the study skills and characteristics for success. Specifically, our school continues to highlight the areas of the Eagle Profile listed below and strives to provide ongoing feedback to students about how to increase in these targeted areas with projects, activities and assessments. As we come to the end of the 1st semester, students and families will receive feedback (1-rarely, 2-sometimes, or 3-almost always) for each component in hopes that we can continue to help our students grow not just in academics, but these very important skills for life.
- Adaptable Learner: Responds productively to change and feedback.
- Collaborator: Works respectfully with diverse teams to accomplish commons goals.
- Communicator: Listens actively and articulates thoughts effectively to a variety of audiences.
- Problem Solver: Analyzes and develops solutions to complex issues.
- Responsible Citizen: Demonstrates integrity and empathy while making positive contributions to the community.
Have a great weekend,
Mr. Josh Frame
