November Updates - BMS

Progress continues with career connected learning experiences both in and out of the classroom for students at Bucyrus City Schools, as skills-based and career-driven education works to assist students to find their own True North.

District stakeholders and community-based employers collaborate to identify and align what needs are present in the local workforce with what students are learning, and together work on the best early introduction to build these skills and interests.

Additionally, OSU-Mansfield Engineering Club students were able to scale down the manufacturing process with the help of Legos to help teach BMS students to learn about teamwork, efficiency, quality control and even problem-solving and continuous improvement practices used in today’s manufacturing industries.

Bucyrus Staff training expands to include experiences and skills that feed into the high-demand industry of health care and highlights relationships with local employers like AVITA. Teachers focused on a full spectrum of careers that make up the entire healthcare industry, not just direct patient care.

BUCYRUS CITY SCHOOLS HOLDS TRUE NORTH PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT DAY FOCUSED ON HEALTHCARE CAREERS

Bucyrus Middle School Families,

October was a month full of joy and hands-on learning! Our 8th grade students were able to complete the Wage Tours visiting several local businesses including: Forge Fire, Hord Family Farms, Altercare, Advance Fiber, IB Tech, and Avita Hospital-Bucyrus. We would like to thank these local businesses for opening their doors to our students and sharing the wonderful opportunities for employment in the area with our students. These partnerships with local businesses are a direct result of our district’s True North Mission of navigating students towards career success and we are excited to launch this endeavor with our students.

In addition, many students earned PBIS rewards for outstanding attendance, GPA improvement, positive behavior, and overall academic excellence during the first quarter. These students celebrated by participating in fun, student-choice activities at the Fall Festival, organized by our PBIS committee to honor their dedication and success.

Thank you to all of our parents, students, families, and staff that make BMS a rising star, we can’t do it without you!

Go Red!
