MMS September Newsletter

Please encourage your student to charge their iPad each evening so they are ready to be used for instruction each day!

For morning drop off- Please follow the directions on the picture. Car riders should enter at the football stadium and then be dropped off in the parking lot closest to the baseball field. Cars should then exit back out through the stadium entrance.

For pick-up: Please line up using the stadium entrance. As soon as we dismiss buses, cars will start pulling forward. Car riders should only load cars between the green cones at the front of the school.

Thank you for your cooperation so we can ensure all students are safe at arrival and dismissal.

Next to starting the day with a full night's sleep and a good breakfast, regular attendance to school or class is primary to student academic success. Students cannot learn if they are not present and prepared to learn.

BCS families/caregivers will receive notifications if their student has been marked absent from school.

To be sure that you are receiving school messages concerning your child's attendance, please make sure your Annual Forms and Information Update is complete so we have the correct contact information!

These messages will be sent to the primary caregiver according to the following schedule:

• High and Middle school messages will be delivered at approximately 9:45 a.m.
• Elementary and Intermediate school messages will follow at approximately 10:45 a.m.

Should you have questions after receiving a message, please contact your school.

Please use the form linked below to excuse your child's absence or turn in a doctor's note. Please do not attach pictures of your child to this form.
