BMS STAR - Family Bulletin

As we move into the fall season, I want to thank you for your continued support and partnership.

Take a moment to review important information coming up this month.

Let's work together to reinforce the following messages at home:

• Practice and demonstrate STAR values.
• Cellphones are allowed in the cafeteria during lunch only. Cellphones are to be Off, Away, and Out of Sight in the classrooms and during transitions.
• Chromebooks charged each night and ready for the day.

Please reach out to any member of the BMS leadership team if you have any questions.

Enjoy the October Newsletter.
