Every school day matters. Regular attendance helps students build strong academic habits, stay connected to classroom learning, and develop meaningful relationships with their teachers and classmates. While we understand that appointments and family trips are sometimes unavoidable, we encourage families to plan them during scheduled school breaks whenever possible. By maximizing time in the classroom, we give every Bulldog the best opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed. At Bass Middle School, Every Day Counts because every day is another chance to be Bulldog BOLD.

Backpack Buddies is a non-profit organization that provides a little extra food on the weekend for students in Coweta County. Backpack Buddies supplies students with nutritious, self-serve food that will sustain them when school meals are not available. Four times a year, when students are out for longer school breaks, Backpack Buddies sends home a larger bag of food to help them during that extended break from school.

The Backpack Buddies program is essential to help relieve hunger, which in turn will improve grades, health, school attendance and self-esteem in these children. If you are interested in signing your student up for the Backpack Buddies program, fill out the attached form and sign giving Backpack Buddies permission to send food home every Friday with your student.

Students may request to meet with a counselor by filling out the Google Form on the Counseling Department webpage. Counselors can help with friendship concerns, stress, family changes, academic challenges, conflict, and other situations affecting a student’s success at school.

The beginning of a new school year can feel exciting, stressful, or both! New schedules, teachers, classmates, and routines may take a few weeks to feel comfortable. Encourage your student to give themselves time to adjust, ask questions, and reach out when they need support.

Our counseling team is always looking for ways to better support our students! We’ve created an Amazon Wishlist with items for our Hygiene Station, Small Groups, and Incentives. If you’d like to support, we’d be so grateful! Every item makes a difference.

Thank you so much for your continued support- it means the world to us and to our students.
