Welcome Back 4/9

Dear BMS Community, 

Welcome Back! We hope that everyone has enjoyed their break and is ready for school.  Mr. Curry has been painting, shampooing carpets and getting BMS ready for the return of your student.  We have missed them! We hope if you missed the Facebook Live event of BMS students laying the wreath at Arlington National Cemetery that you have had the chance to watch the video.  Those students couldn't have represented BMS any better than they did, they made their parents, BMS and BCPS very proud! 

NEWS:

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 assists teachers in knowing how to best serve your student.  The information gathered from these assessments will help your student 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.
