Ongoing After-School Clubs and Activities

Board Game Club
Do you like playing Board Games? Are you a competitive person? Do you like learning new games? If so, you should check out Board Game Club! Board Game Club will be held after school every Tuesday starting at the end of September/beginning of October.
Civil Rights Team
Are you excited about making our school a better place for everyone? The Civil Rights Team is all about teaching students about important topics like bias, harassment, and discrimination based on things like race, gender, and religion. Our goal is to create a school environment where everyone feels included and safe.
Drama Club (full - waitlist available)
The Hoop Shoot has been unleashing gritty kids for over 50 years. The Elks Hoop Shoot is a free throw program for youth ages 8-13. ELKS Lodge #1597 will host their local Hoop Shoot Contest on December 13, 2026 at 8:30 am in the Biddeford Middle School Gymnasium. If your child is interested in competing in this contest, please complete the below Sign-Up Form.
Our Lost and Found is already filling up quickly!
Please encourage your student to check for any missing belongings. To help prevent items from getting lost, we recommend labeling your child’s things with their name. Any unclaimed items will be donated throughout the year.
Student Absence Reporting
Families should report their middle school student's absence from school by calling the BMS main office at 207-282-6400 or by email/ReachMyTeach at mfrederick@biddefordschools.me.
Please include your student's full name and the reason for the absence.
Research consistently shows a strong relationship between school attendance and student achievement. Students who attend school regularly have more opportunities to participate in instruction, practice new skills, build relationships with teachers and peers, and stay connected to their school community.
