As previous communications indicated, the deadline to order a yearbook was April 14th. You can no longer order and be guaranteed a yearbook.
There will be a very limited number of yearbooks for sale at the end of the school year for $20 cash. We cannot reserve or hold yearbooks. Details about when and where they will be for sale will be sent out once the yearbooks arrive in early June.
Thank You,
Beth Romano, Yearbook Advisor
As we get into the last trimester and head toward the end of the school year, we would appreciate your help in reminding your student(s) of the following:
· Cell phones are to be turned off and kept in student lockers during the school day.
· Personal headphones and ear buds are to be kept at home or in student lockers during the school day.
· Students should arrive on time at school each and every day. Doors open at 7:50 and class begins at 8:10am.
· If your child does not feel well, has a fever of 100.4 or greater, vomiting or diarrhea they must stay home until they are symptom free for 24 hours without the use of medication.
· Please do not send an ill child to school. They will not be able to learn well and could cause other students/staff to become ill.
If your student becomes ill while in school, they are to report to the health office. Our nurse will assess the situation and contact you to pick your student up if they cannot return to class. Students are not to call home for someone to pick up. The nurse will do this. All ill students are required to sign-out through the health office when leaving school due to illness.
We do appreciate all you do to support your student(s) and Brooklyn Middle STEAM School.
After School activities are in full swing! Please see the After School Activities Schedule for classes and dates they are offered. All students wishing to participate MUST have a signed permission form for the activity before they can attend. Permission forms can be picked up from the teacher who is holding the class.
APPOINTMENTS: A parent/guardian must send a note excusing their student from school for appointments. The student must bring the note to the office before school to get a blue pass and then sign out at the time of leaving. A parent/guardian is required to come to the school and show a photo ID in order to remove a child from school. The student must sign back in when returning to school.
CELL PHONES: Here at BMS we take learning seriously and require students to have their phones turned off and put in their lockers during the school day. If a parent needs to get hold of their student during the school day, please call the main office at 763-569-7700 and we will get a message to your student for you. If your student needs to get hold of you we have phones available in the main office for them to use if necessary.
Please see the Parent/Student Handbook that you should receive in the mail this month for more detailed information regarding cell phone & personal devices policy.
Please have a conversation with your middle school student about the importance of staying focused on learning while at school and having their phones put away. Thank you!
STUDENT ID & CHROMEBOOKS: Students are expected to have their student ID and their fully charged Chromebooks with them to school every day. If your student has lost or misplaced their student ID they should see their Advisory teacher.
