BMS Summer Newsletter

Dear Families,

This newsletter has helpful links to Summer Reading and Summer Math if you need them. I've also included the link to next year's Walpole Public Schools calendar.

Please know that our office is not staffed until August 22, 2023. But we do monitor our office email listed below. So please use that for any questions you might have.

I will occasionally send an updated newsletter out in July and August with any additional information that you need to know. We hope that you all enjoy a safe, restful, relaxing, and fun filled summer!

The first day of school for all students is Wednesday, August 30, 2023. See you then!

Ed Connor

Principal, Bird Middle School

All students received Summer Math information during the last week of class and it's posted on their grade level Google Classroom page. All students going into 7th, 8th, and 9th grades will be using an online program to complete the Summer Math this year. Incoming, Grade 6 students will complete a Math packet that was given to them by their elementary school. A link to that packet is included below.
