Barrington Middle School BMS Connected Learning Newsletter 1.14.2019 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 Doctor Anderson: This week we will be mailing home last year’s RICAS results. We encourage you to review these scores and reach out to your child’s teachers and school counselor if you have any questions interpreting scores or have questions about the results. BMS Spotlight on Learning: This week we would like to shine our BMS Spotlight on Mr. Mark Biancuzzo. As a special education teacher you wear many hats! In particular, Mr. Biancuzzo was recognized by a colleague for his ability to lead and facilitate Individualized Educational Program meetings. Mr. Biancuzzo is observed being kind, caring, compassionate, and calm, all the while keeping the focus on making decisions based on the best interest of students. Great work Mark! 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. BMS Family Book Club: We are excited to announce that we will be hosting a BMS Community Book Club on February 26, 2019 in the BMS library! Please join us for a very special BMS Community Book Club. We will be discussing, Breakout, by Kate Messner. The story revolves around a group of middle-school friends in Wolf Creek who are asked to contribute to their Community Time Capsule Project during summer vacation. Simple enough, right? Until two inmates escape from the town’s maximum-security prison. Told creatively through letters, poems, text messages, news stories, comics, and more collected by the main character, Nora, this scrapbook-style story captures a rich and layered portrait of Wolf Creek for generations to come. In this spirit, we invite all book club participants who are interested, the opportunity to become curators in creating a BMS Time Capsule. This project will capture and preserve the history and spirit of BMS as we know it long after the building is gone, but through our efforts, not forgotten. We look forward to having you join us on this exciting journey!
