News and Information--Morning Car Riders Please Note the section for you.


Dear BMS Community,

It has been another great week in Bruin Nation.  Students are doing a fantastic job using the Chromebooks.  Remind them to charge them overnight and bring them back to school every day. Several have purchased protective sleeves for them, which is a fantastic idea.    Remind students to be careful with them as repairs are costly.   I have been in several classrooms and it exciting to see the students highly engaged in learning that is specifically suited to their learning needs.   


In recent studies scientists have gathered data that suggests when people "dress for success" they actually DO achieve more.  We believe our students are bound for success every day, so as a BMS spirit day we are having students and staff 'Dress Sharp' on Mondays.  We hope the students will have fun while they dress up and look sharp on Mondays, every Friday is BMS Spirit Wear Friday.  We look forward to students showing BRUIN pride this school year! With that we hope to see everyone at our first home girls basketball game this Tuesday starting at 6:00 p.m. Come out and support Bruin Nation!

Morning Car Riders: 
The car rider line(s) in the morning have been very busy due to a larger number of car riders this year.  Thank you for your flexibility and cooperation in working with us to ensure that your child is able to access the building safely.  In order to continue the safest practice possible, we are going to return to the single file line for car rider drop off in the mornings.  This ensures that no student will have to cross in front of another car.

At this point, we will continue to have you drive to the second sidewalk (where car riders are picked up in the afternoon) so that buses are able to enter the front parking lot.


Please remember that students should not exit their car until 7:40 a.m. as the school is not open until that time.  We appreciate your help in this matter as our number one goal is student safety.
