BMS Newsbytes: Gearing Up for School! Check it Out!

 Gearing up for 2022-2023

We are looking forward to seeing everyone! Please check out all the back to school information! 

Round II of Bruin Cub Camp is July 28th

Come get to know your new school! BMS would love to have your 6th grader join us for Bruin Cub Camp  July 28th.  There are TWO sessions on July 28th.  The morning session is from 9:00am-11:00am, the afternoon session is from 1:00pm-3:00pm.  Students come to ONE session only, as each session is the same.  Again only one session is needed.  

Parents will drop students off and then pick them back up afterwards.  Students will see the school, practice lockers, make new friends and get to know each other. We know the jump from elementary school to middle school is a big one and we want to help students have a smooth start!  Come check it out!




ONLINE REGISTRATION~ 

Don't forget to update and register online! We still have approximately 112 families needing to complete the process! Please visit the BCPS Registration page. (linked)

Back to School Night:

Mark your calendars for August 8th from 5:30-7:30.  Students may come and see their teachers, check out classrooms, pick-up schedules and see the school.  You may drop off 6th grade physicals and immunization records that evening. We will also have tables set up to pay school fees with cash, checks or money orders (no cards please). Parents may pay those fees online @ MySchoolBucks


Coaches and sponsors will have displays highlighting their activities, the BMS FRYSC will be here as well as the PTSA! PTSA will also be holding a special parent election for SBDM.  We are so excited to get the school year started and can’t wait to meet each one of you! We look forward to seeing you on August 8th! 


First day of school is August 10th.  

Students are usually nervous about the first day of school at BMS. But not to worry, at BMS we work very hard to make the first day of school fun and help students feel safe and secure.  Students will come into school and be directed to either the cafe or the gym, depending on if they are eating breakfast or not.  Teachers will join all students in the gym and we will welcome students to their advisory class.  6th grade students will have extra support and help making the transition.  


CHROMEBOOK INFORMATION

All students will need a device for school, BCPS leases Chromebooks at a cost of $35 per school year per student.  Most students take this option.  Some students choose to have their own device however; they will need to complete the district Acceptable Use Policy for use of the internet etc.  


Students who will be 7th and 8th graders and were BMS students last year, kept their device over the summer.  They will need to bring them back to school charged and ready to go day one.  All technology forms and fees are completed and paid each year.  Please see district policy for details. 


Incoming 6th grade students will receive their chromebooks after the school year has started and all appropriate paperwork is completed.
