BCMS AUGUST BRAVE OF THE MONTH
On the evening of September 10th, at the regular school board meeting of school trustees, Brownstown Central Middle School recognized 7th grade student Isabella Brown as the August BCMS Brave of the Month.
BCMS promotes and reinforces the three character traits of Respect, Responsibility and Resourcefulness in our students. We focus on the development of these character traits, in addition to academic learning, to help establish a solid foundation upon which to build future success at BCHS and beyond. Each month we look to recognize a BCMS student who models the Three R’s of our school to his/her classmates through their example.
This is what Isabella’s teachers had to say about her: “Isabella demonstrates responsibility at school every day. She arrives to class promptly with all of her materials and always has all of her work done. She displays willingness to help other students when they are struggling and does not hesitate when placed in leadership roles. Isabella is not only respectful to her teachers and coaches, but also to her fellow students. She presents great character and models the 3 R’s our school tries to instill in all students.”
CONGRATULATIONS, ISABELLA!! . . . and THANK YOU!!
PROGRESS REPORTS . . . COMING HOME THIS WEEK!!!
It scarcely seems possible, but we are six weeks into the school year which means that we are at the mid-way point of the first trimester. On Tuesday, every BCMS student will be bringing a progress report home for parents to review and sign. Every BCMS student returning a signed progress report by Friday (September 20th) will receive extra credit in his/her classes for demonstrating the RESPONSIBILITY (second “R”) in doing so.
Many of our parents follow their student’s progress online through Harmony. We encourage every parent/guardian to sign up for a Harmony account, but the practice of sending progress reports home helps to further insure that those “progress” conversations occur. Thank you for partnering with us in encouraging and expecting your student to give his/her best academic effort.
Parents wanting/needing Harmony information are encouraged to call the school (812.358.4947) and ask for Ms. Ault in the Library Media Center.

For those student “on-level,” their rewards activity is planned for Friday!
We begin the 3rd level review period today!!!
All BCMS students start with a “clean slate” as the work to be “on-level” for this third level review period (September 16th – October 4th) has begun.

BCMS AUGUST BRAVE OF THE MONTH
On the evening of September 10th, at the regular school board meeting of school trustees, Brownstown Central Middle School recognized 7th grade student Isabella Brown as the August BCMS Brave of the Month.
BCMS promotes and reinforces the three character traits of Respect, Responsibility and Resourcefulness in our students. We focus on the development of these character traits, in addition to academic learning, to help establish a solid foundation upon which to build future success at BCHS and beyond. Each month we look to recognize a BCMS student who models the Three R’s of our school to his/her classmates through their example.
This is what Isabella’s teachers had to say about her: “Isabella demonstrates responsibility at school every day. She arrives to class promptly with all of her materials and always has all of her work done. She displays willingness to help other students when they are struggling and does not hesitate when placed in leadership roles. Isabella is not only respectful to her teachers and coaches, but also to her fellow students. She presents great character and models the 3 R’s our school tries to instill in all students.”
CONGRATULATIONS, ISABELLA!! . . . and THANK YOU!!
PROGRESS REPORTS . . . COMING HOME THIS WEEK!!!
It scarcely seems possible, but we are six weeks into the school year which means that we are at the mid-way point of the first trimester. On Tuesday, every BCMS student will be bringing a progress report home for parents to review and sign. Every BCMS student returning a signed progress report by Friday (September 20th) will receive extra credit in his/her classes for demonstrating the RESPONSIBILITY (second “R”) in doing so.
Many of our parents follow their student’s progress online through Harmony. We encourage every parent/guardian to sign up for a Harmony account, but the practice of sending progress reports home helps to further insure that those “progress” conversations occur. Thank you for partnering with us in encouraging and expecting your student to give his/her best academic effort.
Parents wanting/needing Harmony information are encouraged to call the school (812.358.4947) and ask for Ms. Ault in the Library Media Center.

INDIANA DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP WEEK
The Indiana Department of Education celebrates Indiana Digital Citizenship Week the first full week of September following Labor Day. The #INDigCitWeek celebration is part of an ongoing effort to teach students how to make safe, smart, and ethical decisions in the digital world.
BCMS is taking this week to focus on our digital citizenship by viewing and discussing educational lessons during TRIBE.
“It is important to teach students how to make safe, smart, and ethical decisions in the digital world. ‘Building a culture of positive digital citizenship . . . is not just a goal, it is a journey,’"
We would encourage you to discuss with your student his/her digital citizenship learning lessons this week!
