NEW Opportunities for BMS Students
Targeted Tutoring- NEW!
We have revamped the way we approach tutoring this year. Instead of only having open times for students to come as needed, we've created targeted groups based on multiple measures: beginning of the year benchmark assessments, state assessment scores, and classroom performance. We've grouped students together with similar needs and are hoping to target skill gaps from previous grade levels so students are prepared for grade-level content for this year. If you have not been contacted by a teacher and believe your child should be in a targeted group, please contact me.
BMS Lunch Bunch
Mrs. Stevens has started BMS Lunch Bunch every other Tuesday. The next date is Tuesday October 17th. Bring your lunch (or get a takeout tray from cafeteria) & eat in the library. Enjoy books with friends!
BMS Chess Club
Playing chess has many benefits! BMS students can join Mrs. Grubbs on Fridays from 3:10 - 4:10 to learn how to play the game and practice playing against other members.
