It has been a great first full week! Thank you parents, students and staff for getting Bruin Nation started out right! We have many wonderful learning activities going on in the Nation and we hope students are coming home excited about school and what they are doing in class. Teachers have been diving in to real-world learning experiences for students and the students are doing fantastic. Keep being AMAZING Bruin Nation! We are GAME ON!! 
Students have received lockers and chromebooks. If your student has not received these items at this point please make sure all paperwork forms & fees have been turned in. The Cubs (6th grade) did an outstanding job learning how to operate those combination locks and it looks like many of the jitters have subsided. The Cubs House has awesome teachers who are helping to settle students right into the middle school groove!
New this year! Who to see for What? & F.A.Q.s. We know sometimes parents just have a simple question and here at Bruin Nation we want to point you in the right direction. We will continue to update this page as the year moves forward. If you are new to the school community this will be extremely useful! We are always here to help!
Immunization Update: Ms. Dillman, and the entire BMS staff would like to thank each and every parent of a BMS student for seeing that their student had the immunization as required. BMS parents rocked it out. Keep in mind that there will be a second shot for those who just got the first, so set those appointments now. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
SMART START MONDAY. Students are encouraged to wear their favorite College or Career Shirt. It could be a NCAA team or your favorite military branch (Go Navy). Students may want to wear a suit, or a tie because they may want to be a lawyer, doctor, a meteorologist, a news anchor etc... so we are calling Mondays- "Smart Start Mondays" to encourage College and Career Readiness. Fridays will be our BMS Spirit Gear Day and wearing the right shirt or outfit on the right day will earn points for your House! PTSA will be selling exciting new BMS shirts very soon. Keep an eye out for more information on that! Go Bruins!
Be Bold Cards:
One way we celebrate kids includes our Be Bold Cards, when students are caught going over and above teachers and staff can award them a Be Bold Card. We teach students here to be respectful, be responsible, be safe, be here and be bold in kindness, courage and excellent work ethic. Ask your student if they have received a Be Bold card throughout the year. It is a small way to show our appreciation to students who go over and above. FIRST GIFT CARD OF THE YEAR TO BE GIVEN AWAY THIS WEEK TO ONE OF OUR CURRENT BE BOLD CARD recipients.
