BMS News & Notes
May 10th, 2021 Webinar: There is a BMS Parent Webinar on Wednesday, May 19th 2021 from 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM. We will discuss what BMS is going to look like this Fall. There is a short presentation and then a question and answer session. I highly encourage everyone to attend! Here is the webinar link: BMS Parent Webinar May, 19th 2021 Homework Club: We are still offering Homework on Mondays and Wednesdays from 2:15-3:00. There is no need to sign up. Just show up!! The cost is free!! After School Tutoring: Mrs. Frieling is having after-school tutoring on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 2:00-3:00. The cost is free!. Just show up!! Athletic Update: Reminder to all Spring athletes, we will have Sunday night Rapid testing, including this Sunday May 9th! We understand that it is Mother's Day, so please plan accordingly and take 5 minutes to come get tested! New Updates (as of May 6th) 1.Weekly Antigen Testing & Vaccinations: The updated order no longer requires fully vaccinated individuals to participate in the MDHHS weekly testing program. An individual is considered to be fully vaccinated by the MDHHS definition two weeks after the second dose of a two-dose vaccine (Pfizer or Moderna) or two weeks after a single-dose vaccine (Johnson & Johnson). Fully vaccinated individuals are not subject to local health department (LHD) quarantine requirements when someone is deemed to be a close contact by the LHD. In order to be exempt from weekly testing at Brandon, we will need a copy of the student-athlete's vaccination record or card. Please provide this to the Athletic Office. 2. Previous Positive COVID Tests & Future Weekly Testing: individuals who have recovered from a positive COVID-19 diagnosis with a PCR test in the past three months (90 days) and remain symptom-free may participate in spring sports activities without weekly testing. An antibody test is not sufficient. Please provide a copy of the Positive PCR results to the Athletic Office. 3. Face Mask Requirements: Contrary to current media reports, there is no change to face mask requirements for MHSAA spring sports from what has been done since March. Face masks must be worn for outdoor activity (practice and competition) in the contact sports of Boys Lacrosse, Girls Lacrosse and Girls Soccer. This includes all participants, coaches and all other team personnel; note that someone being fully vaccinated does not alter the MDHHS face mask requirements. For the non-contact spring sports of Baseball, Golf, Softball, Tennis and Track & Field, participants must wear face masks except when involved in active outdoor participation (in the game, during the round, during the match, during the race/event, during active practice activity). Coaches and all other team personnel must wear face masks at all times, including participants when on the bench, in the dugout, between individual events, etc. Remember that if any spring practice or competition moves indoors, all individuals (participants, coaches, team personnel) must wear face masks at all times. 4. Spring Sports Spectators: Spring spectator limits have not changed which remain at 50% of the fire marshal capacity (if applicable) with a maximum of 1,000 outdoor spectators. If an outdoor event has more than 100 spectators, face masks are required for spectators. If an outdoor event has less than 100 spectators, face masks are no longer required. Have a great week and GO BLACKHAWKS!! Michael Tucker Principal Brandon Middle School |
