6th Grade Parents:
As you are taking your child in for doctor's appointments for well checks this school year and over next summer, please keep in mind that there are two immunizations mandated by the State of Georgia that all 7th graders must have before starting 7th grade. The immunizations required are the Tdap and MCV4. We like to make you aware of this as soon as possible so that they are ready for 7th grade next year!! If you have any questions, please call the school and ask to speak to Cherie Durden, RN, School Nurse. Please turn in any update immunization forms to the front office. Thank you!

Our guidance counselors and Curriculum Directors have been working hard on the internet safety program on Monday, September 30th. Katie Greer is a nationally renowned speaker on this topic and very dynamic. She will be speaking to the students at BMS and BHS during the school day and the adults in the evening. The content for these two events will be very different which is why no one under 18 years of age will be admitted to the evening program.
You can RSVP to attend at the link below as well as reserve a spot for the free childcare. Any questions can be directed to your school’s guidance counselor(s). Thank you for supporting our event! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/internet-safety-with-katie-greer-tickets-69220342909?aff=utm_source%3Deb_email%26utm_medium%3Demail%26utm_campaign%3Dnew_event_email&utm_term=eventurl_text |
