Bogota Middle School Update

December 20, 2024

Essentials

We would like to wish everyone a happy and safe winter vacation and wonderful holidays! We hope you can take some time to relax and enjoy special moments with your loved ones. It's hard to believe we're already nearing the halfway point of the school year—there’s still so much more to come!

During the break, please encourage your children to take a break from screen time and enjoy other activities. This past week at BMS has been filled with festive fun, including themed days and a movie in the gym on our last day before the holiday. We would like to extend a heartfelt thank-you to our BMS PTO for providing pizza and snacks to our students during this time. Thank you as well to everyone who contributed treats for our students—it truly added to the festive spirit!

We also want to express our gratitude to the families who generously donated to our Giving Tree and Toy Drive. We know that many of our staff members also made some wonderful donations as well. Your kindness has brightened the lives of children and families in need this holiday season.

With the colder weather here, we kindly remind you to ensure your child brings a coat to school every day. When we return in January, students should also be in full uniform and ready to learn for the remainder of the year. While festive attire was a highlight of this week, we’ll be focusing on appropriate dress and preparedness as we move forward.

Punctuality is also critical for success, so please make every effort to have your child arrive on time. Whether they eat breakfast at home or at school, starting the day promptly is essential, even as the colder mornings make it more challenging.

Thank you all for your continued support and cooperation in the important partnership of educating your child. We look forward to a strong start in the new year!
