Visit the BMS website for the latest information regarding athletics.
*CCMSAL permits 7th and 8th grade students to participate in school sports.
Home Athletic Events
We love for our students to attend home athletic events to support our athletes. Due to limited supervision after school, please make note that students may not remain at school unless we announce that we are having a tailgate before the game begins. Therefore, students must go home using their normal transportation and may return to the school at 4:30.
In addition, students must be picked up by 6:00 p.m. for all athletic events.
Congratulations to our Girls Soccer Team for placing Runner-Up in the
2024 CCMSAL Soccer Championship!
Middle School Athletic Season
*All sporting events begin at 4:30 p.m. and cost $5.00 per person to attend.
Fall: Soccer, Football, Cheerleading & Volleyball
Winter: Basketball
Spring: Track
ATTENTION: ALL HIGH SCHOOL EVENTS
Middle school students are required to have a paying adult with them at all high school events.
Additional Information:
Bus Arrival/Dismissal
Please sign up for notices from Bus Bulletin to receive notifications from transportation regarding late buses in the morning and afternoon.
In addition, we have a spreadsheet that is updated every day by 2:30 pm with bus changes listed on it. We highlight buses as they leave the school.
Lunch Visitors
Due to space and safety concerns, lunch visitors are restricted to parents/step-parents/guardians, non-school aged siblings, and grandparents (per written permission from the parent). We will not call to verify someone not listed on the emergency card or without a note. Visitors do not include aunts, uncles, neighbors, or coaches. Please also adhere to the following:
All approved visitors are asked to remain at the front until your student is called up for lunch. Students and approved visitors may eat lunch in the counseling suite or administrative conference room.
Approved visitors may not visit other areas of the school.
Approved visitors are not allowed to bring food for other children when they visit for lunch, and students cannot ask their friends to eat with their approved visitor during lunch.
Please refrain from cell phones or other technology usage while visiting for lunch. Due to privacy issues outlined in FERPA, no photos/videos with cell phones or other electronic devices are allowed.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter!
