BOBCAT NATION:

As we approach the conclusion of the 2024-2025 school year, BMHS will begin collecting all technology items from students during the week of school. Devices will be collected on the following days:
-May 16: 6th grade, 7th grade, and seniors
-May 21: 8th grade, 9th grade, 10th grade, 11th grade

Please ensure your child brings their fully charged devices (MacBook, Chromebook, Hotspot, LTE Router, etc.), chargers, and any other accessories on their designated collection day. Students who are missing any part of their technology will be assessed the following fees:
-Damage to MacBooks: $52
-Missing/Incomplete MacBook Case: $51
-Missing/Incomplete Chromebook OR MacBook Charger: $62

This process will help us efficiently gather all school issued devices and prepare for the 2025-2026 year. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated as we work together to empower students through technology.

Below is the plan to collect devices as well as the fee schedule per FWISD:


May 16:

1st period – seniors

2nd period – 6th grade

4th period – 7th grade


May 21: All remaining grades

This plan allows for students to keep devices to take their finals on. All devices must be turned in during their time above. Students returning to BMHS will receive the same device back to start the 25-26 school year. If there are any changes to this plan, we will notify as soon as we know.

BMHS is working on stocking a care closet, and we need your help! Any 6-8th grade student that brings a gently used BMHS spirit shirt will earn free dress for the day during the last week of school, May 19-22. Bring your spirit shirt to the front each day to earn free dress for the day. This is ONLY for the last week of school.

If you arrive late to school, please come through the front office to check in. If you are late due to a late bus, we will mark accordingly and send you to class. If you are just tardy to school, you will be sent on down to room 115. All late arrivals need to check in through front office. Thank you for understanding as we navigate through this.

Reminder: 24 hours notice is required for all VOE's. Also VOE's are only good for 30 days from the issuance date and then they expire.

Thank you for your support!

Middle school students will not be allowed to attend sporting events on campus without a parent or guardian present as a chaperone. Thank you for helping us with this.

We are still having issues with food deliveries. In order to ensure your student's continued safety, we are disallowing food deliveries by Door Dash, Uber Eats, etc. However, anyone who is on your students emergency card can make food deliveries. These deliveries can be made at the main office of the respective building.

Please know that we will be turning away anyone who is not on students emergency card, which includes third party food deliveries. Please make sure your student is aware of these changes so that they can adjust accordingly. Again, this is all about ensuring the commitment we have to our students' safety.

Parents, pick up and drop off for Building B is directly in front of Westpark Dr. Parents should enter the drive nearest 2871, which will take you to the loading zone and then back around to the exit.

Pick up and drop off for Building A is directly off of Overcrest Dr., leading to our main office. We ask that you do not drive between buildings for pick up as this is our bus lane. Additionally, we ask that you do not pick up or drop off your student in the lower area closest to the football field, as this is an area with higher foot traffic.
