BRMS Families,
Halloween happened. And it was SO MUCH FUN! Our 6th graders got to participate in a treasured tradition of touring the infamous BRMS bunker, hearing the tales of the lucky brick, Leonard the ghost and more. Our students showed up in costumes, staff transformed into minions. In the middle school adult world, we are definitely treasuring the rest this weekend, but it was so great to see our students having fun with the Halloween holiday.
Here are some of the things I want you to be aware of for the coming week(s). I will cover some of this in detail in the video below.
Parent Engagement Night
SAVE THE DATE! I want to invite you a night of food and connection here at BRMS on Tuesday, 11/19 from 5:00-6:30.
There will be a special presentation from Dr. Kleiber (Who you ask?) Dr. Kleiber is an amazing educator who is working extensively to break barriers down for students and parents in the world of mathematics. (She is also married to your principal!)
There will be breakout sessions with your teachers, food, fun, and giveaways!
More info and details will continue to come- but for today! Please mark your calendar! I hope to see as many of you as possible!
Chronic Absenteeism Update
As you know, we have set a goal to reduce the number of students who are missing a significant amount of school. At this same time last year, 28% of our students were missing 10% or more of their school year. We are down to 26%. It may not seem like much. But the bottom line is, more students were in school for more days. And I’ll take that celebration any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
Make each day matter by partnering with us to have your student in school every day!
Panorama Survey-
We hit 94 surveys (this surpasses how many we had last year! THANK YOU! Naturally, we want to push for more! Right now the surveys sent in represent 18% of our available families. I want 25% or more. Click the button below this newsletter to submit yours
As an added bonus, if you submit your newsletter this week, AND submit your name for the panorama survey drawing- you could win a new BRMS lanyard!
Astronomy Club!
Coming to the best middle school around! The First Ever BRMS Astronomy Club. We have a family that is passionate about astronomy and has incredible area connections that want to partner with us to show our students the cosmos!
The first scheduled meeting is on November 14th 4:30-5:30.
See the Flyer below, or click on the button below to RSVP for this amazing club and event!
A special thank you to the Owen family for choosing to make this opportunity available to the Wolf Pack!
- Weather is changing
- Please remind your student to dress in layers for school. We do go outside after lunch.
- Please do not drop your student off before school before 8:30. It is unsafe to have students sitting outside in the cold unsupervised.
One final note before I head into the schedule for the week. The process for choice and open enrollments have changed for 25-26. There is information below this letter. Please read it carefully, and call if you have questions. This is particularly important for 8th grade parents hoping to open enroll/ choice enroll for high school or if you are already open enrolled to BRMS.

The Thompson School District Nutrition Services department is dedicated to providing delicious meals that support student growth and achievement.
Great care is taken by highly qualified staff to ensure Thompson School District’s breakfast and lunch menus meet or exceed United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) quality and nutrition standards. We source clean label, fresh and local items to include in our recipes and menus. Our department adheres to strict food safety standards and practices to keep customers safe and healthy.
With the passage of Healthy School Meals for All in Colorado, we are excited to be able to offer breakfast and lunch at no cost to students, regardless of income or meal benefit status.
All families are still asked to fill out an application. Why? The Healthy School Meals for All (HSMA) program is funded in partnership with federal nutrition programs that rely on income information to support meals for all students. Other state and federal grants are awarded based on free and reduced meal eligibility rates. Additionally, families that qualify may receive discounted or waived fees for programs inside and outside of the school district. Applications are available to all households at school sites and online at https://linqconnect.com/main.
Applications need to be completed annually (after mid-July) for the new school year. The information provided on the application is confidential and is not shared without your consent. If you would like to share the information with the school, please be sure to check the box on the application. This will help us in ensuring fees are cleared as applicable.
While meals are free for all students this year you may want to have funds available for additional meal components and / or a la carte purchases like snacks or milk.
Nutrition Services is excited to share that we have contracted with a new software company to manage our meal and application program. My School Bucks is no longer active but the new software is called LINQ Connect and all student balances have been moved to the new software. There are many new features that this program offers which weren't available before so we're sure you're going to love it!
Please visit the link below to register and create an account along with frequently asked questions.

We also accept cash and checks at each school’s cafeteria; please give cash or checks directly to your school’s cafeteria staff.
Please help sustain the meal programs by keeping your student’s account current or filling out an application for benefits.
