BMS Phase 3 Information...

  

Greetings Charger Families,

We look forward to Phase 3 of school re-opening on Monday, March 22nd.  With that in mind, we are re-sharing with you important information as it relates to Phase 3 re-opening on Monday.  Please take a few minutes to review this important information; it will likely answer many of your questions.

Finally, we recognize that the majority of our students have not been in the building all year.  Our faculty and staff eagerly anticipate welcoming them as if it were the very first day of school - because for some students, it really is!  We will be available to provide new schedules and even escort them to their classes for the first couple of weeks in the building.

If after viewing the information provided, you still have questions, please contact the school.

Counselor's Corner - Middle School Roadshow...

 

Each year, elementary schools are gracious to allow the middle school arts programs to come into their schools and present the RichlandTwo Roadshow. This event allows students to learn more about the band, orchestra, and chorus as well as dance, theatre, and visual arts. This event is particularly important to band, orchestra, and chorus because students need to begin these Pathways to Purpose in grade 6. It is that time of year where students are signing up for classes for next school year. 

This year, the Roadshow is virtual. We believe this new format will attract more students and their parents.  The entire Roadshow can be viewed here.  After viewing, all students and parents need to do is complete the Richland Two Middle School Sign Up Form.
