ALERT: 6th Grade Parents 2022-2023
Students that are currently in the 6th grade will need the following state mandated immunizations for enrollment into 7th grade:
1. Two doses of Varicella Vaccines (or proof of chickenpox disease)
2. One dose of Meningococcal Vaccine
3. One booster dose of Tetanus, Diphtheria and acellular pertussis containing vaccine (Tdap)
Please check your child’s shot records and if they have received these immunizations send them to the school so that we can update their records.
If they have not received these shots, please take your child to obtain these immunizations and send the record to the school nurse. This will help your student with their transition to 7th grade.
If you have any questions please call our school nurse at 817-815-7120 or email her at: sharon.masoud@fwisd.org

Senior News
We are in the beginning stages of planning things to celebrate your student and their post-secondary goals and their Senior accomplishments. Some things we can use your help with:
Please be sure that your Senior is reporting college acceptances and scholarship information to the Go Center and/or their Counselor Ms. Islas
If you have completed the FAFSA or TASFA, please report that information to the GO Center or Ms. Islas, as well
The FAFSA/TASFA is a graduation requirement, and requirement for students wishing to apply to any colleges, universities, or trade schools regardless of parental financial income. It is also a requirement for scholarship opportunities.
Students that are not wishing to pursue any of these options (college, university, trade school, scholarship opportunities), please visit the Go Center or their counselor to inquire about an opt out form
Students that bring their acceptance letters to Mrs. McCoy, will have their acceptance letter featured in the halls of BMHS!
Students that document their scholarships with us, will be helping us contribute to our campus goal of 8 million dollars in scholarship dollars - we are approaching 4 million already, and university money is just starting to roll in!
