This Wednesday students will be taking the CASE assessment for Reading. This is important because this data will help BMS know the proper placement and resources your student needs in order to be at grade level. We use this data in scheduling and to determine the level of additional help your student will need. Please encourage your students to show excellent work ethic on this assessment and everyday!

The start of the 2021-2022 school year has shown many absences for numerous students. We are aware that students are being quarantined and are sick. We appreciate your help and support during this time. If your student is absent, other than the school letting you know your student has been exposed and quarantined, call the school and let us know why your student is absent. Student attendance is directly related to student achievement. With Covid it has been a challenge for sure, but every day we can make sure kids are in school is a win!
"Absenteeism in the first month of school can predict poor attendance throughout the school year. Half the students who miss 2-4 days in September go on to miss nearly a month of school. Read more…"
When your student returns to school, please be sure to send in either a parent note or a doctor’s note. By state regulations, students are only allowed 6 parent notes per school year, even if they move schools during the school year. If you have any questions regarding attendance, please contact Mrs. Veatch or Ms. Harrison at 869-4000.
COVID
If your student tests positive for COVID, you need to contact the school as soon as you have a positive test result and you must fill out the Student Protocol Form. Once you have completed this form, a district nurse will be in contact with you to let you know return dates. Once the district nurses contact the school, we then begin contact tracing for any students that may have been exposed. Please do this as soon as you know!
MASKS WILL CONTINUE TO BE REQUIRED.
