BWMS Parent Update
10/1/21
Welcoming October
Families,
The leaves are starting to change, the evenings are coming a little faster and the weather is starting to bring that wonderful Ohio fall coolness. I love it. This also means that we are inching closer to the end of our 1st quarter which is a great time to check in with your student, their teacher and/or both. Let the middle school office know if you need assistance getting into PowerSchool so you can check their grades. Also, information for our next day of conferences is also posted below.
Have a great weekend,
Mr. Josh Frame

Panorama Survey
At some point during the next several weeks all Big Walnut Students (Prek-12) will be taking a Panorama Survey. BWMS will take the survey in Math classes on Wednesday 10-6-21. Panorama is a web-based assessment platform for measuring social-emotional skills including the life skills our community has identified as important. When completing the questionnaire, students will be encouraged to reflect on their own mindsets, approaches to learning, and feelings about school. This information will help us provide support and instruction in many areas, including those characteristics found in our Eagle Profile. The results of this survey are completely anonymous and will not be tied directly to students; the only identifier will be the students’ grade levels. Please reach out to the BWMS office if you have any questions or concerns.
