Note from Dr. Anderson Mrs. Bulk and I would like to thank Ms. McCauley, Mrs. Poirier, and Ms. Sleboda for organizing the “Principal/Assistant Principal Thank You Note” table during lunch the other day for Principal/Assistant Principal Appreciation Month. We would also like to thank all of the teachers and students who took the time out of their day to craft a note. We can not express how much this gesture and the notes meant to us. We truly love what we do and love working with all of you! BMS Spotlight on Learning This week we would like to shine our BMS Spotlight on Mrs. Jane Iodice for organizing the Taylor Hooten presentation for our 6th graders. The presentation promotes healthy eating and healthy choices. Thank you for bringing this important message to BMS. 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. Mindful Mornings: Our Student Assistance Counselor, Katie Hamel, is starting a new program called Mindful Mornings. Each Tuesday and Thursday morning from 7:20 am to 7:35 am, students may join her for a quiet, peaceful time to start their day in a mindful, calm way. Sign-up is required (sign-up sheet in the office). Picture Day: Mark your calendar! Picture Day is Wednesday, October 10, 2018. Look for more information on your child's Picture Day Flyer/Order Form (sent home last week) or visit mylifetouch.com to place your order. The job # needed is PC038036Q0. For Customer Support, please call 401-828-5220.
