We are so excited to see your students on Wednesday August 8, 2018~ Teachers and staff have prepared a wonderful learning environment for each of the students we have here at BMS. They can't wait to begin this year's adventure with your child! We provide information in a multitude of ways so please visit and favorite the school website and BMS News Bytes. BMS News Bytes includes regular newsletters including "Whats Going On" and Student Celebrations. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter and sign up for the Remind App to keep current with the latest BMS updates!THE BRUIN WAY:
We believe it is imperative to teach students not only academic content but to encourage them to live in such a way that even as adults they can look back to the lessons taught here at BMS. Every day we focus on living by the Bruin Way: Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe, Be Here and Be Bold in Kindness, Courage and Excellent Work Ethic. It sounds simple, but these words encompass so much of what it takes to make the world a better place we believe it is important to teach these concepts directly. So if you hear your student coming home talking about The Bruin Way or saying "Be Bold" you can engage them in conversations around the greater good. We thank you for helping create an extraordinary environment in which your student can learn and grow.WELCOME TO BRUIN NATION:

CHROMEBOOK INFORMATION:
Thank you to all of those who came to Back To School Night and our first ever BMS Chromebook Rollout. We will have a second Chromebook distribution after school begins, the district lease fee is $35 and the T.R.U.E. form must be signed by both parent and student. Please look for additional details soon. One-to-one technology is a real world, 21st Century tool for students to learn how to engage in the world around them. Students are to make sure their Chromebook is charged nightly and make sure it is at school every day. When they don't have their Chromebook it could impede their ability to participate fully in the instructional opportunities in class.
Please remind students that it is necessary to take care of these devices as it is expensive to repair and students end up missing out on some instructional opportunities while their Chromebook is in the 'Chromebook Shop' being repaired. We strongly recommend purchasing a protective shell for the Chromebooks, much like a case for their cell phones it makes a big difference in the life-span of the device.
FIRST DAY FORMS AND PACKETS:
Students will receive a registration form as well as a folder with all of the Back To School forms, information, paperwork, and notice of school fees to be returned to school by Friday. Teachers will distribute lockers when all items have been collected. Please help them speed up this process by being quick to send back the required items.
WE ARE SO GRATEFUL FOR BMS PARENTS:
Thank you to Crystal Tomlinson, Nikki Cavote and Linda Hester for helping with our collection and distribution of Chromebooks. Also thank you to Angela Harper, Kathy Clark, Crystal Tomlinson, Nikki Cavote for serving as PTSA officers this school year. We are excited and can't wait to see the great things they will do this year.
IMMUNIZATIONS:
Time is running out!!! Your Student MUST have the Hep A vaccine prior to the start of school. You can email or fax them into school tomorrow or you can send the immunization record with your student on the first day of school. BMS still has 42 students without the proper immunization record. Please get this taken care of immediately as it is a law in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Please make sure your student has a great start to the year by taking care of this urgent matter.
We look forward to seeing everyone Wednesday!
Bruin Nation is Game On!
