Principal Update
Hi Super Tiger Families!
It has been a busy week of professional learning with our super teachers. We have had a crazy, fun, and productive week of back to school preparations. Thank you to all who came to meet the teacher on Monday. It was so good to see all of our students' faces. We have rectified the error on schedules and a new one should be posted in the parent portal but to reduce anxiety with all students, we have provided a map of the middle school below. We will have new schedules available on the stage in the morning. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Our first day of school will begin on Thursday, August 10, promptly at 8:15 am. Our campus doors open at 7:20 am for students only. Middle School girl athletes will meet in the middle school gym when the first period starts at 8:15 am. Middle School boy athletes will meet at 8:00 am in the middle school gym.
Drop off in the morning will be in the middle school cafeteria and pickup in the afternoon is on the back side of the building at 3:55 pm.
We cannot wait to have our halls full again. Get some good rest and see you on Thursday!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Perez
BRMS Principal

Note from our Nurses
Welcome back to school BRMS Tigers! Please read the following information carefully regarding important health updates as we start off this year strong!
-HEALTH CONDITIONS/ALLERGIES-
If your student has a new or updated health condition or allergy, please reach out to the nurse to discuss their health needs for the school year.
-MEDICATIONS-
If your student will require daily medication in the school clinic or will be self-carrying medication (Ex: Inhaler, Epi-Pen, OTC medication), PLEASE reach out to the school nurses via phone or email. ALL medications require a new parent consent form to be filled out every school year. Please note, controlled substances cannot be self-carried by students and must be pre-approved and distributed in the clinic.
-IMMUNIZATIONS-
Let’s Have a Smart Start!
State law requires children to be immunized against certain vaccine-preventable diseases to attend school in Texas. Getting your child vaccinated protects your child's health and that of the community.
To ensure we all have a healthy year, please make sure your student is up to date on all required immunizations. Immunizations help students learn and grow by helping prevent serious illnesses. Please forward any updated shot records to the nurses office. Click the link below to see which immunizations are required for your student by grade level!

Your district nurses are looking forward to a GREAT school year! Please feel free to reach out to your campus nurse any time you have questions or concerns about your child.
We are here to partner with you to help ensure your child is healthy and has the resources they need to succeed in school.
