It is Homecoming week at BSHS and throughout the district. Checkout how you can join in the fun by dressing up on the themed days.

Picture day is scheduled for this Monday, September 16, 2024. No money will need to be brought to school, it is all done online for your convenience. All students will be asked to get their picture taken for the yearbook and the identification picture in Skyward. No purchase is necessary to have the student's picture taken. Use the Code 87010QB for CMS students.

Congratulations to our August students of the month! These students demonstrated the BRAVE character trait of BELIEVE.

CMS is now offering a’la carte for students. Students can purchase additional food options besides what is being served in the cafeteria that day. Students can only purchase items from a’la carte if they have money on their lunch account. Parents can set limits on a’la carte by logging into Skyward and clicking on Food Services. See the attached flyer for prices.

CMS Athletics If your student plans to attend an after-school athletic event, they will need to have a contract signed by a parent/guardian and themselves on file in the office before attending an athletic event. This contract is good for the entire school year. It costs $5 to get into the game. CMS Student Expectations Contract https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tWyw9s_1MNk1i-V74IPue_AyAEvMe865t2_MdNZK8C8/edit?usp=sharing As a reminder, middle school students should not attend BSHS athletic events without an adult ( 18 years of age and older) supervising them at the event. BSHS and CMS administrators and coaches ask that middle school students sit in the stands and not gather by the concessions, behind the stands, or in the walkways of the bleachers when attending football games.

Good luck to the CMS Cross Country team as they head to their first event of the season!
