Greetings Charger Families!

 Greetings Charger Families,

Thank you for coming out to join us for Open House on Thursday, September 11, 2014.  We had a full house and appreciate you taking time from your busy day to check in on your child(ren’s) progress.  It’s hard to believe that we are already four weeks into the school year.  We know that you are eager to see how your child is doing academically.  As a reminder, due to grades being available on Parent Portal, interim reports will NOT be printed, instead, your child's interim report(s) will be available for viewing on Wednesday, September 17th.  If you have questions or concerns regarding your child's grades you may choose to schedule a conference with your child's teacher on our Early Release day scheduled for Thursday, September 25th. 

Also, please note that our first home football game will be held on Wednesday, September 17th at 4:00.  Our Chargers had their season openers for football and volleyball last week at Dent Middle School and brought home two wins!  We are looking to follow that up with another win.  Please come out and support our team.  There will NOT be a volleyball game this week, however.  The cost of the football game is $4 and students must have a student ID for entrance.   Students will NOT be allowed to stay after school!  All students MUST go home after school and report back if they desire to attend the game.

In order to further ensure our students’ safety, parents we ask for your continued support and assistance with the traffic flow in the morning in our front car rider area.  As you approach, please always pull all the way up to the designated sign or as far up as possible and ONLY drop students off under the canopy.  If traffic begins to back up, we ask that you wait until the cars ahead of you have pulled up to the canopy area.  Dropping off at the end of the side walk instead of pulling up to the canopy continues to slow the car rider area down and prevents other drivers from pulling into the school gates.  This causes traffic to back up onto the main road instead of allowing cars to enter into the school lot.  Thank you for your assistance with ensuring our students’ safety.

Finally, Blythewood Middle School picture day is scheduled for Friday, September 19th.  Picture order forms were sent home with students Friday, September 12.  If students desire to purchase pictures, they  must have their picture envelope with payment prior to having their picture taken on Friday, September 19^th.  Pictures provide us with memories for the future.  Be sure to purchase a picture package to capture these wonderful middle school years!
