Note from Dr. Anderson I love what I do and I love working at Barrington Middle School! Each day I get to work with such amazing students, teachers, staff, and families. It is even better when others get to experience what I experience on a daily basis. One of the biggest compliments that I can receive is how respectful, intelligent, and kind our students are! Over this past weekend, BMS received so many compliments from so many different people while our 8th graders were in Washington, DC for our annual class trip. From our bus drivers, to tour guides, to Hotel Management/Security, to waiters/waitresses, we kept hearing how respectful our students were, how intelligent and insightful they were in their responses, and how kind they were being to one another. Thank you to all of our students, families, and teachers for being awesome! BMS Spotlight on Learning
This week we would like to shine our BMS Spotlight on Mrs. Snyder (Purple Cluster), Mrs. Chobanyan (Purple Cluster), Mrs. Andreozzi (Purple Cluster), Mrs.Texeira (Yellow Cluster), Ms. Teoli (Blue Cluster), Ms. Hamel (Student Assistance Counselor), Mr. Moran (PE/Health), and our parent volunteers for chaperoning our annual 8th Grade Washington, DC trip! On behalf of our students, we can’t thank them enough for their time and support on this trip. In particular, I would like to shine our BMS Spotlight on Mrs. Snyder (Purple Cluster)! This year, Mrs. Snyder took this project on and did a phenomenal job with working with the tour company to craft an amazing experience for our students, securing the chaperones, communicating with students and families, and creating the student groups. Well done Mrs. Snyder! Thank you for all of your hard work. 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 Annual Cluster Tournament: Each year, at BMS, we have a friendly competition among clusters. Each year, this event takes on different shapes and forms, and this year, it is going to be exciting!
BMS “Topping Out” Ceremony: Traditionally, in the construction world, “Topping Out” refers to the act of raising and securing the highest steel beam on a new construction project. Remarkably, we are in the process of organizing this ceremony for Tuesday, June 19, 2018 beginning 12:30pm. This ceremony is an event where we would like the entire student body to watch!. Please stay tuned for more information regarding this special event. BMS Beam Signing: In preparation of the “Topping Out” ceremony, Brait Builders will be making a large steel beam (painted white) available for our students/teachers/staff to sign. This beam will be raised and secured in place in our new building for as long as the new building stands! 8th Grade Chromebook Collection: Our technology department will be collecting 8th graders' Chromebooks on Monday, June 18 in the BMS Library starting at 8:00 am. We will call down students by cluster. Please remember to send the charger in as well. Chromebooks will be inspected upon receipt and should there be damage or lost chargers, invoices will be sent home over the summer. If you have insurance, the Chromebook may be returned to you or, for the newer insurance, the tech department will send it in for you. Students will not be issued Chromebooks at the high school until his or her 8th grade Chromebook and charger have been turned in or repaired. Barrington Police Department Anonymous Tip Line: The Barrington Police Department has set up an anonymous tip line at 401-437-3933. Chief Lacrosse welcomes students, parents, and community members to use the line if they would like to remain anonymous and have something to report. Barrington Middle School Parent Newsletter
