News for BMS parents! Our Parent/Teacher conferences today are free flow. You DO NOT have a set time that you have to attend in order to meet with your child's teacher(s) unless you or the teacher has specified a particular time for a special meeting. Our doors will be unlocked at 2:00 this afternoon and you can come and speak with teachers any time between 2:00 and 8:00pm. Please be mindful that we will have hundreds of parents come through over that time frame and we want to get a chance to visit with everyone so conversations may be somewhat brief! All teachers should be located in the cafeteria for the conferences. 4th Grade teachers will have report cards at the tables with them. If you have a student in the 5th or 6th grade, you will pick up the report card in the back lobby (by the gym and cafeteria) and then enter the cafeteria to speak with teachers. You can enter through the front doors and head straight to the back or you can enter the back lobby from the rear parking lot like you would during an awards ceremony or a ball game. We look forward to seeing everyone this afternoon!

Attention Parent and Guardians!! We will be dismissing early today so we can host our fall Parent/Teacher Conferences. Please remeber car line will start around 1:15 today and students picked up by car will have to be pick up earlier than normal. Buses will be running routes several hours early as well!

Congratulations to our September Students of the Month! These students were nominated by their teachers for demonstrating the Bearcat Motto, "Bearcats Never L.O.S.E when they respect Learning, Others, Self, and Environment."
