BMS Newsletter Week 11

Burnet Middle School is excited to offer additional ELA and Math instructional opportunities to ALL students!

These sessions are a great opportunity for students who would benefit from extra instruction, additional practice, help strengthening specific skills, or simply more time working with a teacher. Students do not have to be failing or currently receiving intervention to participate.

Families may choose all sessions or as many as work with their schedule.

Wednesday Sessions

Burnet Middle School | 4:00–5:00 PM

October 28
November 4 & 11

Two-Hour Sessions

Burnet Middle School OR Bertram Elementary | 9:00–11:00 AM

November 2

Parents will select which dates their student plans to attend and, for the two-hour sessions, whether the student will attend at Burnet Middle School or Bertram Elementary.

We encourage families to take advantage of these additional opportunities to help students build confidence, strengthen skills, and continue growing academically!

We’re excited to offer more opportunities for parents and community members to get involved at BMS! Whether you have a little time or a lot, your help makes a difference for our students and staff.

Ready to help? Check out our Volunteer Opportunities link to see where we could use an extra hand and sign up for a time that works for you.

Before volunteering on campus, all volunteers must be approved through the district. Be sure to complete the Volunteer Approval process using the link provided.

Thank you for helping make BMS an even better place for our Bulldogs! 💚🐾

We’re excited to celebrate Red Ribbon Week with fun dress-up themes each day! Students are encouraged to participate as we come together to promote healthy choices and show our BMS spirit.

Please note: Thursday’s dress-up theme is Western Day. Students may break out their boots, hats, denim, and western wear! Halloween costumes should not be worn to school.

If you would like to attend or know someone who would, please RSVP HERE.

Being on time to class is an important part of student success! Students who reach 7 tardies will be assigned one day of After School Detention. After School Detention is held Tuesday–Thursday from 3:45–4:45 PM, and students are expected to serve their assigned detention within one week of receiving notification.

Please help us remind students to move promptly between classes and arrive on time and ready to learn. Thank you for partnering with us to protect valuable instructional time!

If your student missed picture day or would like to retake their school photos, we will have retakes on November 5th. Your student can stop by the office to get an order form in advance or you can view and order photos online at mylifetouch.com.
