Please look for your students report cards, KSA scores and CASE scores from the fall assessment. We have much to celebrate and still much to work on. We are confident we will be able to grow all BMS Students this year!
Student Portfolios are underway! Students began working on a Portfolio they will use to document their progress throughout this year. At the end of the year BMS will host a Student Showcase where students will share these with their parents.
BMS staffulty are committed to student growth. We are going to continue to work to help students succeed in all areas at BMS.
HOMEWORK
The expectation of BMS is that each student has a book to read and has access to EPIC (books online). Every day each student needs to read for 20 minutes every evening. The second part of their homework is to strengthen their simple math facts. A very helpful tool is the website Math Flash Cards at math-drills.com. We will be sending home helpful resources throughout the year so you can help support student learning. Please help manage their time to include reading time and math practice time. We are so proud of the BMS school community and we have the absolute best school community anywhere.

Individual teacher websites are extremely useful to both students and parents. It is important that you log into Parent Portal and choose the option to receive email and texts from the school. Not only can you view your students grades, attendance and other information it is also a great communication tool to keep you connected.
