A Message From the Principal's Desk

Dear BMS Families,

Our 2024-25 school year is off to a great start!

Skyward gives you access to your child's grades and academic progress. A feature within Skyward will send you daily and/or weekly emails sent regarding your child's grades, attendance and any missing assignments. Login into Skyward to set this up! In addition, the LiveSchool app provides updates on your child's positive behavior, hard work, and any negative behaviors that may occur. If you need assistance accessing either of these resources, please reach out to your child's homeroom teacher.

We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming parent-teacher conferences. Below is more information about this opportunity to connect with your child's teacher regarding the learning they are doing at BMS.

Sincerely,

Rhonda Herrick

BMS Principal
