BWMS Family Update

Car Line Awareness

Big Walnut Middle School Families,

We are excited to see the progress being made for our district on the Baughman Building just up from our campus! However, as anyone who has ever survived a remodel knows, construction can cause for unexpected adjustments. Starting Friday, February 20, construction activity will temporarily impact our afternoon carline flow near the Baughman Building. We want to ensure everyone gets home safely and as efficiently as possible. We know your time is valuable, and we truly appreciate your flexibility as we work to make BWLSD even better for all of our students.

We are told at this moment that the crane you see in the picture will be moved by the time our carline will need to form. Please be patient as we work through this temporary adjustment.

Go Eagles!

~Mr. Josh Frame
