BLMS Student/Parent Memo

It was great to see the students on Friday and it was far too long to be stuck indoors. The forecast for the next few weeks is highs in the 50's and even a few 60's, so we will take every bit of that! Thank you for being patient and working with us through the weather challenges.

Every week that we have students we offer a free study hall to all students on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursday after school. This study hall is staffed by two of our teaching staff who are there and willing to assist any students who may need help on getting caught up on assignments. We are excited to offer this program free of charge for all students/parents, so please take advantage of this opportunity if you need to get caught up or any extra help.

• Staff working study hall:
• Tuesdays - Ms. Garcia and Ms. Bell
• Wednesdays - Mr. Lamatsch and Ms. Hill
• Thursdays- Ms. Gillespie and Ms. Scheidt

Parents are responsible for picking their student up at 4:00pm from study hall if they are going to participate.

We do our absolute best to provide all students with access to great meals here at school or students can bring them from home. It is important that we are only bringing food in or sending food for your student, not for larger groups. This is helpful as it creates a distraction in the lunchroom and unfortunately, some students get left out when students want to bring in food for a small group. We would encourage our parents to only send food for your student, and if they have a birthday or other special event, please celebrate that with them outside of school.

Thank you.
