BMS Connected Learning Newsletter 12.10.2018 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: On Friday, December 14 2018, we will be posting Trimester 1 grades. Parents will be able to access grades via your Aspen account. When looking at your child’s scores, it is high recommended that you take a deeper dive into the grade by accessing the “Academic” side tab. This tab will allow you to see what went into your child’s score. Also, it is highly recommended that you request your child’s student portfolio by sending an email to your child’s teacher(s). Looking at the report card score, academic side tab, and portfolio will give you a comprehensive view of your child’s progress. As always, if you have any questions, please reach out to your child’s teacher(s) as I know they would be more than happy to answer any questions and address any concerns. BMS Spotlight on Learning: This week we would like to shine our BMS Spotlight on our BMS Robotic’s Team. This past weekend our BMS Robotic’s Team put forth a valiant effort during the regional competition. Although they did not advance to State tournament, the team showed enthusiasm, sportsmanship, and creative problem-solving skills throughout the day. A special thank you to our Barrington High School Seniors Nicholas Golstos and Isabella Connor for coaching our team, Mrs. Henderson for mentoring the Seniors, and a special thanks to our parent volunteers for providing support and supervision. Great job team! The future for BMS Robotic’s is bright. BMS News you can Use: BMS Building Update: The new building construction is well underway.

This is a State Health Department mandate for every entering 7th grader, and they will be collecting data on the missing records in the upcoming weeks. The acceptable dates for the physical exam are from Sept 2017 to present. The immunizations required for entry into 7th grade are the Tdap booster, Meningitis vaccine and one dose of the HPV vaccine. If you do not intend to vaccinate your child against HPV, please print up and complete this exemption form. If you have not yet submitted this information, please do so as soon as possible. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact the school nurse, Janet Johnson at (401) 247-3160 or [email protected].
