What a great school year it has been. We have seen tremendous growth from our students and they have done a great job this year with everything! We appreciate all of your support this school year and as we finish this last month of school, let's finish strong and put a positive note on the entire school year.

Students of the Month: Kimberlin Argueta, Skylar Hart, Mollie Corn

Finn Schutz, Lacey Chase, Aiden Cartwright

Staff of the Month: Mrs. Terri Marcum

Staff said the following of Mrs. Marcum:

Terri has come in early to help out with ILEARN. This is a big help in getting students caught up on testing and getting back to classes sooner so they are not missing out on instruction time more than necessary. Terri is a team player!

She came in early to help with ILearn testing. She also helped with all of the makeup testing. She is very dedicated to making this school a better place.

We had several Positive Office Referrals for the month of April. We are incredibly proud of our students and the hard work they are putting in every day!

-Please refer to student handbook (BRMS Student Handbook) for dress code, attendance policy, cell phone policy and other important expectations.

-Clarification on extra curricular events:

1. You leave school early due to illness (sent home from the clinic)

2. You leave school early due to parent choice/parent coming to pick you up

3. You are sent home from someone in the office for disciplinary or other reasons.

May attend and/or participate IF:

-We look forward to continuing an incredible year of growth at BRMS!

Stress and anxiety can get even the best of us. There is help available. Our guidance department is here for social/emotional support while at school. If you need help, click the Guidance Department link above. In addition, BRMS has a dedicated Centerstone therapist in the building, and we work with all and any outside agencies to promote the well-being of our students.

Centerstone is also providing most services via telephone or telehealth (video). We are concerned that those in need have access to mental health, addiction, and counseling services during a time of crisis. You may contact us for additional information, to make a referral, or to access our 24/7 crisis services at:

• Information or Appointments: (800) 344-8802

• 24 Hour Crisis Line: (800) 832-5442

If you would like to start the referral process, please reach out to Mrs. Mastin.
