BMS Pirate Parent News
MAP Testing is approaching quickly for BMS Students.
The BMS testing schedule is as follows:
May 7th-all students will take the ELA MAP test
May 9th-8th grade students will take the Science MAP test
May 14th-all students (except Algebra 1) will take the Math MAP test
May 16th- 8th grade Algebra 1 students will take the Algebra EOC
It will be important for students to be on time to school each of these days and remain in school for the duration of testing. If at all possible, please avoid checking your student in or out during our testing times. The length of testing varies each day, but typically lasts through lunch time. The tests are not timed, students have as much time as needed to complete the tests.
You can help your student be at their best for MAP testing by:
- Making sure their iPad is fully charged the days of testing
- Get a good night's sleep
- Eat a good breakfast (we do serve breakfast for students at school)
- Bring a bottle of water
- Bring a book to read for when their tests are completed
What you need to know that is not allowed during testing:
- Students may not have their phones or any electronic device (other than their school iPad) on their person during testing-they will be asked to put it in their backpacks and turned off.
- Students may not wear smartwatches during testing, they will also need to be placed in their backpacks.
- If a phone or watch receives an alert or a student has one on their person during testing, their test will be invalidated.
- Students may not use their iPad for anything other than testing in a testing session.
Please see the below Spirit Week schedule. We would like as many students participate as possible.

Last week, Governor Mike Parson announced that the Missouri 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline has launched a new website: www.missouri988.org. The site provides information for anyone who may be experiencing a mental health, suicide, or substance use crisis.
The newly designated 988 phone number went live nationwide on July 16, 2022. Since that time, it has routed thousands of individuals to local, trained crisis specialists at Missouri’s 988 centers. The 988 crisis line connects anyone experiencing a mental health, suicide, or substance use crisis to compassionate, accessible care and support, available 24/7. Support is free and confidential.
