On Tuesday, our BMS and RMS counseling staff met with students to go over course selections and register for classes. If you are going to RMS, they will register your classes for you based on your pink course selection sheet that was turned in. If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact your child’s teacher or your middle school office.

We are looking for volunteers to help at the picnic and field day at school on Thursday, June 8th (note date change from previous years). A light blue sheet went home this week to show what help is needed. These sheets are due on Tuesday, May 30th. Someone from school will then call you to confirm details. Thanks in advance!!!

Parents, we have lots of books still checked out from our school library, as well as our classroom libraries. Please help your son/daughter look for any books that might need to come back to school. Also, if your family is no longer in need of some of your gently-used chapter books, we would welcome any donations to our classrooms! Thank you!
