Dear BMS Community,
Thank you for yet another great week here in Bruin Nation. Thank you to the PTSA for doing the Spring Book Fair and for sponsoring the Cutest Pet Contest. Congratulations to Emma Dennison and her dog Molly for winning 1st place and to Emily Todd and her dog Casey for winning 2nd place. There were so many cute and wonderful pictures of pets, the PTSA wants to thank you for participating and let you know they raised about $400 for the local Animal Shelter. Thank you again to all of our parents who are so dedicated to supporting BMS students and our local community!
Please know that as we enter the 4th quarter of the year there is a great deal going on here at BMS. We have a vast amount of teaching and learning to do. It is important that students be at school. Attendance has been a struggle all year with so much sickness going around. Please help your students know the importance of washing hands, NOT drinking after each other, and covering their mouths and noses if they sneeze and or cough. Hand sanitizer is in every classroom and we are hoping to keep the kids healthy for the rest of the year. Attendance is important and we are teaching students that "showing up" is a necessary skill for the 21st century workforce! We have MAP assessments and KPREP testing coming up in April and May respectively. Both of these assessments are important to your child as it helps the school system to know how to best serve your student. The information gathered from these assessments helps your student to be more successful as we use it to drive instruction and differentiate instruction based on students needs. It is also used as a piece of information as we develop student schedules. Please let your student know to always do their best. We believe perseverance and grit as well as excellent work ethic will take each member of Bruin Nation a very long way.
Thank you for your continued support please keep reading for more information.
