Bobcats,
Shout out to all of our Bobcats for their effort Tuesday on the Reading STAAR test. Our campus took an hour longer than usual to complete the test which tells us that students took their time, used their resources and performed to the best of their abilities. I am excited for the inaugural Spring Fling Dance tonight. I hope that all of our Bobcats can make it out and have a great evening. The last round of course verifications were sent out on Tuesday. If for some reason you did not receive that email or know your student would like to make a course request change for next year please let myself or their alpha counselor know. As always please see the important upcoming dates listed below and note that we have added the date for our Powder Puff Football game if your 7th/8th grade Bobcat would like to participate (more info to follow).

BARTON WISH LIST
Amazon Campus Wishlist:
Parents we want to sincerely thank you from all of our Bobcat staff and students for the generous donations we have received through our Amazon wish list! We have fully stocked ball carts for our free time outside at lunch and classrooms have been stocked with headphones, notebooks, pencils, escape room supplies and so much more!!! Here are a few more things we need as we transition to our new semester:
- Lanyards have been a popular request by students who happen to need new ID's
- Composition notebooks are a must this time of year as teachers frequently replace student notebooks and students begin new classes
- Candy & Prizes! Our teachers gave out over 500, yes FIVE HUNDRED, positive referrals last semester and we are looking to top that this semester! Help us stock up our positive referral cart (or even buy us a new cart located on our wish list)
CLICK HERE to shop around for us!
Thanks so much to the families and friends of BMS that have donated so far it is greatly appreciated!
D.C./NYC 8th Grade Trip
Any current 8th Grader signed up to attend our D.C./NYC Trip for this 2024 summer will need to attend a parent meeting in the library on February 1st at 6:00 PM. We will go over rooming arrangements, pick our Broadway show, and finalize any further information needed for the trip. We cannot wait to see you and your parent there!
Parents with travelers still interested in the trip, this is a last call for any students or parents that wish to join us on our Washington D.C./NYC 8th Grade trip June 2nd through June 7th! We have a few more spots left on our bus and if you are interested prices are locked in for a little longer!
90% Attendance Rule
EVERY SCHOOL DAY, EVERY CLASS MATTERS!
Showing up for school has a huge impact on a student’s academic success starting in Kindergarten and continuing through high school. Missing 10 percent, or about 18 days, of the school year can drastically affect a student's academic success.
