Don't forget to "fall back" this weekend! ⏰ Daylight Saving Time ends this Sunday, November 2nd, at 2:00 a.m.

This means we all get an extra hour of sleep, but it also means our clocks will be moving back one hour. Be sure to check that your phones and devices have updated automatically so you're not an hour early or late! Let's make sure everyone is on time for school on Monday morning.

Enjoy that extra hour of sleep! 😮

Learning in Action in BMS

đŸƒâ€â™€ïžđŸ“ Our 6th-grade math students took their learning outside the classroom today! As part of their IM Unit 2, Lesson 9 activity, students worked in pairs to time each other walking or running a set distance to explore constant speed.

They collected data, calculated their speeds, and discovered how distance and time are proportional when moving at a steady pace. 💡 It was an awesome way to connect math to real-world movement — and enjoy some fresh air while learning! đŸŒ€ïž

📈 Our students were hard at work learning about slope today in 7th grade math! They tackled a card sort challenge where they found the slope of a line using either a graph or coordinates, then sorted all the cards from least steep to steepest. đŸ’Ș

It was awesome to see students using a variety of tools, strategies, and teamwork to make connections and conquer this tricky math concept! 🧠✹

📂 Red Folders 📂

Reminder that red folders should be coming back and forth to school each day. Need another one? Let your child's teacher and librarian know. These are an important part of our home-to-school communication!

Inside today, you’ll find important log-in information your child will need for school. Throughout the year, the red folder will be the place to check for:
✅ Important notes from school
✅ Reading logs
✅ Letters and updates for families

Please help your child remember to bring their red folder back to SCHOOL EVERY DAY—think of it as their take-home folder for everything you’ll need to know!
