BMS Newsletter Week 13

Hello, Bulldog Families!

As we head into another week at BMS, we want to share a couple of important reminders.

Veterans Day Breakfast – Wednesday, November 11th

We look forward to honoring the brave men and women who have served our country at our Veterans Day Breakfast this Wednesday. We are excited for this special opportunity to recognize and thank our veterans for their service and sacrifice!

Morning Drop-Off Reminder

For the safety of all students, please remember that students should not be dropped off before 7:30 a.m. on school days. Staff supervision is not available prior to that time, and we appreciate your cooperation in helping us keep our students safe.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership in making BMS a great place for our Bulldogs.

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

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

This session is 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.

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

Are you ready to be a volunteer? Whether you have a little time or a lot, your help makes a difference for our students and staff. 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. You can also follow BMS Bulldog Backers for updates and events. Before volunteering on campus, all volunteers must be approved through the district. Be sure to complete the Volunteer Approval process using the link provided.

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!
