TRENDS we are seeing

PLEASE remind your students that if they see something, they should say something. They can discreetly email an administrator, come talk to one of us, or they can fill out a P3. Please encourage them to report immediately- be specific with details: the location, the time frame, and the involved parties.

We are seeing many students coming to school with energy drinks. We are even seeing students come with many. These beverages are not recommended for students; they are a health risk. The only thing that we want to see at BMSS is water. This is to prevent the big mess that sugary substances leave and the pests they attract.

We are also continuing to see students manipulating other students into buying them things in the cafeteria or trading or sharing things from their own lunches. This is not okay. If your child is experiencing this, please let us know. When we see this, we are trying to reach out. Please encourage your child to only use the money you intended for them, for them!

We appreciate all of the support and encouragement of our students to do the right thing, because it is the right thing - even if no one is looking.

Dear Charger Families,

As we prepare for our November Veterans Day Program, we would like to honor the service and sacrifice of our military members by featuring military photos submitted by our Charger families.

If you have a family member who has served or is currently serving in the military, please consider sharing a photo with us. These photos will be displayed during our Veterans Day programs and showcased in the cafeteria throughout all lunch periods as a tribute to our veterans.

Please send your photos by November 4, 2026 using the following Google Form.

Thank you for helping us recognize and celebrate the brave men and women who have served our country.
