A message from our superintendent, Mr. Mayell
Dress Code Reminders for our BMS Students--thank you for reinforcing our dress code
DRESS CODE
The staff and administration at Brunswick Middle Schools believe that students’ standards of dress affect the overall learning environment of the school. Students are expected to dress appropriately at all times. Any fashion (dress, accessory, or hairstyle) that disrupts the educational process or presents a safety risk will not be permitted. The school has the right to and will require reasonable conformity to a dress code that supports good standards of health, safety and modesty. (Note: Students who are representing Brunswick City Schools at an official function or public event may be required to follow specific dress requirement. This applies to athletic teams, cheerleaders, music groups, field trips, and other such groups).
Shirts: Students are not permitted to wear halter tops, tank tops, tube tops and any other shirt leaving cleavage or midriff exposed. All shirts must have sleeves. Shirts cannot expose undergarments.
Pants: Students are not permitted to wear any type of pants that expose undergarments or excessive skin, or are deemed inappropriate by the administration. Rips/tears may not be excessive, or be above the knee.
Dresses/Skirts/Shorts: Length of dresses, skirts and shorts must be mid-thigh.
Shoes: Standard footwear must be worn. Flip-flops are NOT to be worn at any time. Slippers are not permitted.
Hats: Students are not permitted to wear any form of hat, bandana, or head wrap covering all of their hair. All hats must remain in lockers. *THIS DOES INCLUDE HOODS.
Sunglasses: Students are not permitted to wear sunglasses in the building.
Jewelry: Including jewelry worn in piercings must be non-distracting from the school environment and may not pose any danger to the student or to others in any school activities/environments. Small hoops or studs should be worn in piercings; spikes are not allowed. Chains and spikes are not permitted. These will be confiscated by the administration.
Clothing decorated with offensive, obscene language or gestures or promoting drugs, alcohol, tobacco, sex, violence or self-destructive behaviors or other inappropriate logos (as determined by the administration) are not permitted.

if your child is going to be absent.....
ATTENDANCE:
A-L (last names): 330.273.0340
M-Z (last names): 330.273.0350
Please use the phone numbers above to report an absence. Our mass attendance phone calls go out around 9:25 each morning. As the middle school settles into the school year in two different buildings, our attendance monitors are working hard to verify all absences and communicate with parents. If you happen to call your child off, but still receive an attendance phone call, please be patient with us. We are doing our best to verify attendance for all 1600 students (in two locations) by 9:00. We don't want families to be alarmed if they receive the mass phone call. We will continue to work to streamline our attendance procedures during this transition time. Thank you!

Students that are remote only learners are to watch their student email for an invitation to participate in a minute meeting via a google meet.
In 7th Grade, Mrs. Rhoads will also be conducting Minute Meetings in the upcoming weeks. She will check in with each student to discuss academic progress as well as their social and emotional well-being.

Also coming up in February, 7th graders will receive the opportunity to turn in applications for the “Early Bird” World Language Program.

In addition to the services the school counselors provide, Brunswick Middle School is fortunate enough to have Sarah Billittier, Student and Family Support Specialist and counselors from OhioGuidestone in our building to assist with the needs of our students.
