Our BMS Grandparents/Grand-friends day is next week on Wednesday, September 10th. It begins at 8:30 AM. Students may invite grandparents or grand-friends to enjoy donuts and watch our first House competitions for the year!

Mark your calendars and plan to attend- Our BMS faculty will host a Parent Information Night for families on Tuesday, September 23rd at 6:00 PM. It will be held in the middle school building. Parents will learn information about BMS and will have the opportunity to ask questions. A survey will be sent soon about topics you would like us to include in this event.

We have many opportunities available if your child needs extra support in academic areas. Please see the times below for tutoring hours. Your child's teachers may also recommend tutoring if your child would benefit from additional supports.

Please call Mrs. Karnes at 573-568-4283 with any questions you may have.

Our new procedure for students who have missing assignments is that those students will be assigned a MANDATORY TUTORING after school the following day, from 3:10-4:10. If students come to class without their assignment that was due, they will receive a slip notifying them of the mandatory tutoring. The tutoring will be the opportunity for the student to complete the assignment and the consequence for not having work complete. Parents must arrange transportation for the student at 4:10 on the day of the tutoring.

On Friday, August 29, we held our 5th Annual BMS House Sorting Ceremony! For families new to our building, we utilize a House System as a way to bring all of our students together. Everyone in our building is in a House. Each House has traditions, history, and principles they stand for. Our four Houses are:

Our House System gives EVERYONE a group to be a part of. We compete against each other to see which House can earn the most points each week, quarter, and for the whole year. Students earn points for academic achievements, attendance, following our building expectations, good character, and school spirit (joining a club or sport, attending sporting events, etc). The competitions can be very close and exciting!

EVERY Wednesday is HOUSE SPIRIT DAY! We all wear our House color and can sit with our House members to eat lunch. Students will receive their House shirts for this year in a few weeks. We have a House meeting once a month with a lesson to work on service projects, and then we also have House competitions with team-building activities once each month. The lessons and games are led by our House Leaders, who are 8th grade students selected to lead their Houses for the year.

BMS will be trying something new this year! We will come inside a few minutes early in the morning to have a “morning meeting” with our first hour classes (7:50-8:00 am). We encourage ALL students to be on campus by 7:45 am to attend. We will review announcements, House news, and discuss topics to help your child navigate middle school. We will work on organization, growth mindset, social-emotional learning, and Wildcat Way character traits. Help us make the most of this time to set your child up for success at BMS!

The Fellowship of Christian Students/Staff (FCS) meets in the high school library every Wednesday from 7:30-7:50am. All students and staff are invited to participate.
