Good morning BSMS Parents: This is a reminder regarding the Tardy policy. Once a student reaches the 4th tardy to school and/or from class to class transition- the student will receive a referral and serve ISS. As a student continues to accumulate more tardies after the 4th tardy, ISS continues to be assigned. The tardy bell rings at 7:40 a.m. for first period. Please make sure your student(s) are on time for school each day, & reinforce the importance of being on time for each class throughout the day. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Good morning BSMS Parents: This is a reminder regarding the tardy policy: Once a student receives the 4th tardy, one day of ISS will be issued, and we will follow the policy regarding each tardy after the 4th one. Tardies to class (from period to period) are also included in the count. Tardiness to class causes loss of instructional time and distractions.
