Barrington Middle School BMS Connected Learning Newsletter 10.29.2018 The BMS Learning Community is Respectful, Responsible, and Ready to Succeed! Upcoming Events: (Note: Please review the dates as dates are subjected to change due to a number of factors from one newsletter to the next).
Note from Dr. Anderson: This week David Flood will be meeting with our BMS students. At the end of last year, a parent sent me an email encouraging me to take a look at his short video clip. Instantly, we knew we had to have David come to our middle school and speak to our students about dignity and respect. I encourage you to view the attached video link with your child as a preview for Wednesday’s assembly: http://davidjflood.com/, BMS Spotlight on Learning: This week we would like to shine our BMS Spotlight on Ms. Danielle Teoli. Through a Spotlight recommendation from Mr. Jeff Blanchett, the math curriculum chair, Ms. Teoli has demonstrated that she is doing a fantastic job teaching Grade 8 Math as well as Algebra. Great work Ms. Teoli! BMS News you can Use: BMS Building Update: The new building construction is well underway. To help with communication, each week I have been releasing the BMS Building Project Blog. You can access the blog by visiting the BMS Building Project Homepage or the direct link to the BMS Building Project Blog. In addition, each Tuesday morning we will have a student volunteer give updates to our student body during morning announcements. Student Youtube Access: On November 1, 2018, students at Barrington Middle School will no longer be able to access the Youtube website. This shift in practice will greatly reduce students’ abilities to search inappropriate videos (non school related content). With that said, Barrington Middle School teachers will be asked to create an Edpuzzle account during the month of October. Edpuzzle will allow teachers to post content/curriculum specific Youtube videos to the platform, and students will be able to access only those videos by accessing their teachers Edpuzzle accounts. Gently Used Sports Equipment: The Barrington High School Hockey Team is currently running a fundraiser to help support their team through a used sports equipment sale. The team is seeking used sports equipment from our community to include in their sale. If you have any used equipment, and would like to donate it, please consider donating to this very important cause. There is a collection box placed in our school’s main office. BMS Gaming NIght: The entry fee is $5 per student. This will allow students to play various games mentioned above. In addition to playing these games we will run tournaments that will cost between $3 or $5 to enter. Pizza, soda and some candy will be available to purchase. It is suggested each student bring between $10 and $20. If you would like to chaperone this event, please email Mario Correia at [email protected]. Big Focus Updates
