This Week’s Positive Message: I read the following to students on Thursday…Calling all CHANGE AGENTS! I shared the Social Justice Challenge with you on Canvas earlier this month. I am already seeing some amazing entries. Submissions must be made by Friday, March 4. If you have artwork or want me to have an original copy, drop it off in the office. This challenge is optional and will not be associated with any grades. Student work from the Social Justice Challenge will be displayed in our library the week of March 7 - 11. We will open the BMMS Social Justice Showcase to the public the night of Wednesday, March 9, 2022 from 5-7pm in our Library. I can’t wait to see your amazing work!
Locker Update: We are removing a bank of outside “street” lockers over break. We notified students who will be affected and assigned them a new locker. Taking out one bank of lockers will open up sight lines and additional covered space for kids to sit. We still have plenty of lockers for any student who wants one.
K95 Masks Available: Recently, our school received from PUSD a supply of N95 adult masks. These masks may not fit small children. If your child would like some N95 masks, they may come to the front office and request them. We still have a supply of the smaller blue masks (not N95) available for students.
Lost and Found: We have lots of lost and found items including sweatshirts, lunch boxes, PE clothes, and water bottles. At the end of next week, March 4, 2022 we will be donating what has not been claimed. Please have your child check the lost and found located at the end of the Administration building in the quad. Thank you.
Thank you for your support,
Scott Corso
BMMS Principal

PUSD 2022-2023 Continuing Student Registration is Coming in March!
Online Continuing Student Registration will be open from March 1- March 31, 2022. Parents and Guardians will receive an email notification once the website is open. We must receive a completed digital packet for all returning students. This will allow for proper placement of your student for the 2022-2023 school year.
This annual digital process will allow a family to complete one single “family” packet instead of completing one packet per student. Packets can be completed using any computer, tablet, or smartphone with an internet connection.
In preparation of this process, now is the time to confirm that you know your parent login username and password. This information will be needed to complete the registration packet. Please take a moment and ensure you can log into https://sis.powayusd.com. If you do not know your username and/or password, you can visit https://password.powayusd.com to retrieve your login credentials.
Please email Connie Hunt at chunt@powayusd.com as soon as possible if you do not plan to return to PUSD for the 2022-2023 school year. Thank you for your attention to this important process.
