BMC Bulletin

Parents, Please log in to your PowerSchool and click on "more" and select forms to find your student's Federal Impact Aid Survey. This needs to be completed by December 5th, 2025. Thank you!

This information is the basis for payment to your school district of federal funds under the Impact Aid Program (Title VII of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act) and may be provided to the U.S. Department of Education if the school district’s application for payment is audited. This form must be signed and dated for the school district to receive funds based on this information. All boxes must be filled in with complete information, if applicable.

At BMC, we help students embody the core trademarks of a Titan: Respect, Integrity, and Determination. To support this, we are implementing a demerit system to guide students in making positive choices. It addresses areas such as communication, attendance, using their time wisely while on campus, participation in tutoring, and seeking help when needed. Ideally, this system will help students understand the impact of their actions, and supports the development of strong habits, so all Titans can thrive both in and out of the classroom.

In celebration of Veterans' Day and Patriots' Week, let's honor our veterans and nation by wearing red, white, and blue on Tuesday, Nov. 11th.

Veterans Day is a U.S. public holiday observed annually on November 11 to honor all those who have served in the armed forces. It originated as Armistice Day in 1919 to commemorate the end of World War I and became Veterans Day in 1954. Celebrations include ceremonies, parades, and the laying of a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery.

The "Mega Rollout" is an event series by Palmetto Community Action Partnership to provide utility and rental assistance to residents of Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester counties. These events offer one-stop application opportunities for both rental and utility assistance. Please visit the website and check the flier for more details.

The BMC calendar differs from the BCSD calendar due to the fact that our students are enrolled in TTC classes and we have to follow their calendar for attendance purposes. BMC and TTC will have classes on Nov 24th and 25th, 2025 (the week of Thanksgiving) and our Spring Break is March 2-6, 2026.
