Dear Bernheim Community,
What a great first week back from Spring Break! Students and Teachers alike were excited and ready to finish the year strong! Students are working on high level thinking and problem solving across the board! If you have a seventh grade student ask them about Henrietta, they have been learning about her in science class. The deep conversations around this topic by students sound like they are being had in a Harvard grad course classroom. BMS students are a-m-a-z-i-n-g. 
With the end of the year upon us we have so much to do and so little time to do it in. Please pay close attention to the Dates To Remember listed below. State testing is coming up beginning May 9th, please make every attempt to avoid appointments, between May 9 and May 15. We know BMS students are going to do fantastic, but we want them to have the best testing environment possible.
Attendance Matters:
Attendance Matters:
Be Here! Show Up! It matters! Here in Bruin Nation we are instilling in students the importance of having excellent work ethic. Research evidence states that students who are chronically absent fall several grade levels behind causing them to play "catch up" for years. BMS believes each student can be successful, we strive daily to support each student. Each day missed is a day a student falls behind. On top of academic success we have fun incentives for attendance; Game Day, Walkabouts , Sit Anywhere Days and more. Attendance is part of the Work Ethic Certification program and is something the R.O.C. and BAMS program look at to determine admission so, show up, be here, it matters.
