Open House Rescheduled to September 20th...

Due to pending inclement weather as a result of Hurricane Florence, our Open House date has been rescheduled.  

Open House will now be held on Thursday, September 20...

Please join us for this year’s Open House Thursday, September 20th from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.  

All families will need to report to their child’s homeroom at 6:00 to begin orientation.  Families will follow their child’s schedule and important information will be shared throughout the evening. This is a great opportunity to meet all of your child’s teachers and put a name with a face.   You will also have the opportunity to request a parent-teacher conference.

Families with more than one student at BMS may come 5:30 - 6:00 p.m. for a  drop-in to meet teachers of multiple students.  Because our time will be limited, we ask that you please reserve this time for parents that have more than one student at BMS. While we know that this time may not be sufficient to meet all your needs, it will give you the opportunity to meet the teachers and schedule a conference at a later date.  All teachers will be in their classrooms at this time.  

While at Open House you will have the opportunity to elect new members to the School Improvement Council.  The School Improvement Council is a group of parents, teachers and administrators who meet monthly to advise the principal and discuss ways to improve our school.  The group is seeking volunteers to serve beginning with the 2018 – 2019 school year.  Elections for SIC will be held during Open House on September 20th.  

The School Improvement Council is a great way to get involved with your child’s school and help make a difference.

If you are interested in serving on the SIC or know of someone who is, please submit nominations and a brief bio to Rachel Corvi by e-mail (rcorvi@richland2.org).  All nominations and bios must be received by noon on Wednesday, September 19, 2018.  The SIC meets the last Monday of every month at 6:00 p.m.  For more information contact Karis Mazyck at 691-6850, ext. 85403.  

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you at Open House.
