Thank you to all who took part in the BMS SBDM Parent elections. Congratulations to Chris O'Brien and Kim Fentiman who are the incoming BMS SBDM members for 2021-2022. We are looking forward to next year and all the great things that we will accomplish! Thank you for being willing to serve in this capacity!
We have KPREP testing Monday-Wednesday next week in one form or fashion. Please make sure students are well rested and know that this data will be used to help determine their academic needs for the next year. We ask that their Chromebooks are charged and ready to go next for next week. Please make sure they bring those Chromebooks and chargers each day. KPREP is a computer based test this year which is new and different for all. This method of testing was in the works prior to Covid-19. We are grateful BCPS is a one to one school district so each student has the tools they need demonstrate success!
Chromebooks?:
ANY STUDENT NOT RETURNING TO BMS NEXT YEAR MUST TURN IN CHROMEBOOKS TO THEIR 5TH PERIOD TEACHER MAY 28TH. MAKE SURE THEIR CHARGERS ARE WITH THE CHROMEBOOKS. ALL 8TH GRADE STUDENTS WILL BE TURNING IN CHROMEBOOKS AND CHARGERS. THEY WILL RECEIVE NEW ONES UPON THEIR START OF HIGH SCHOOL.( IF THEY ARE IN A BCPS SCHOOL)
