BMS News & Notes August 28th, 2020 Counseling Update: Mrs. Stone is furiously working to fill student schedules. Once the schedules are complete, I will send out a communication through Parent Portal Student Lockers: We are spacing out student lockers to minimize student contact. Students are only allowed to go to their locker before school starts, before lunch to get their phone/lunch, return to locker, and then at the end of our school day. No Seminar: We are not going to have Seminar for this school year. Your student's schedule will reflect hours 2-7. Sorry for the confusion. Backpacks: We are allowing students to wear backpacks during the school day. This helps to decrease hall activity. Back To School Registration: This year’s walk in Registration Day will all be done virtually this year. Pictures – Picture day will be September 23rd during the school day. Students will receive their id badges the following week. Parent Webinar: I will hold a Parent Webinar Thursday, September 3rd from 6:00-7:00 P.M. Please use the link below to register for teh parent webinar. BMS Webinar Registration Block Schedule: Brandon Middle School will be implementing a block schedule for our students for both face to face instruction and for those that are participating in the Brandon Learn From Home Program. Students will attend hours 2-4 on the first day of school, and then hours 5-7 on the second day of school for approximately an hour and fifty-five minutes each class. These days will continue to rotate all school year. No Seminar for this year. Athletics: If you are interested in playing 7th and 8th Girls Basketball or running Cross Country (6th, 7th & 8th) it's not too late to join. Practice schedule is below along with the Coach's email contact. All athletes must have a current physical on file before being able to participate in practices.

This week will have a combination of typical first week items, but also a focus on learning new procedures and protocols. In-person students will also receive their devices and any other essential materials this week. The following is a break-down of the first week: Tuesday, September 8 (A-L In-Person) – Students in JK-12 with last names A-L will report in-person for their classes. At BMS, those students will attend 2nd through 4th hour. Students with last names M-Z will have asynchronous modules to complete on these days included Covid-19 educational items. Wednesday, September 9 (A-L In-Person): – Same as above, but BMS students will attend hours 5th through 7th hour. Thursday, September 10 (M-Z In-Person) – Students in JK-12 with last names M-Z will report in-person for their classes. At BMS, those students will attend 2nd through 4th hour. Friday, September 11(M-Z In-Person) – Same as above, but BMS students will attend hours 4th through 7th hour. Monday, September 14 – All students JK-8 will report in-person. BMS is going to look very different this year. Thank you for your continued support and patience with us while we all go through this together. Stay safe and GO BLACKHAWKS!!!!!
