✏️ Let’s kick off 5th/6th ATLAS Testing Week STRONG!
Testing starts each morning at 8:30 AM — make sure your student gets a good night's sleep and arrives on time!
✅ Tomorrow (4/29): Math testing for 5th and 6th graders!
🎉 Perfect attendance all week = EXTRA RECESS!
You've got this, Bearcats! Let's show what we know! 🧠✨
Edited to add: The cheer packets currently say that tryout material will be posted through google classroom. This has changed. We will be creating a BMS Tryout GroupMe as packets are turned in. If you do not receive a request for the GroupMe by Friday May 9th, please email bwilliams@bpsbearcats.com
Brookland Middle School Cheer tryout packets are now available for grades 3-5! If interested, you can pick one up in the Middle School office or from your teacher at the Elementary! Tryout dates are May 12th-15th!

Hey Bearcat Families!
State testing kicks off this Tuesday, and our Bearcats are ready to shine—Bearcat proud and ready to show what they know!
Please make sure your student is on time each morning—no later than 8:00 a.m. Testing will begin right away and will last about 1.5 to 2 hours.
To help keep things smooth and stress-free, we kindly ask that you avoid checking your child out during the testing window. Every minute matters!
And here’s the fun part—students who are here and on time for all four testing days will earn a little something extra: an extra recess to celebrate their hard work!
Thanks for all you do to support your Bearcat—let’s make it a great testing week!
Great job to our Students of the Week!

Important Reminder!
As we are halfway through April and nearing the end of the school year, it is that time again to nominate an "Educator of the Year" for each building.
Anyone can be considered an "educator" when they have a positive impact on the students and school whether it is in the areas of academics, athletics, or social/emotional growth.
Students, staff, parents, and community members are welcome to submit this form. We want everyone's input. The deadline to submit a nomination is April 30th.
Here is the link to submit nominations: https://forms.gle/8GQAd9PTvnxmTMeTA
We’re a little late, but the love is just as strong — Happy (belated) Assistant Principal's Week to the one and only Mr. Baltz! We are so lucky to have Mr. Baltz at the Middle School. His leadership, kindness, and constant support make a huge difference every single day — for our students, staff, and school community.
We are raising funds to help cover students outstanding school lunch debt. Every dollar makes a difference - whether it's $5 or $50, your generosity is greatly appreciated. Please know that all students eat daily whether they have the funds or not. We always take care of our students!
