BWMS Family Update

Preparing for a Short Week!
BWMS Families,
Thanks for another fantastic week at BWMS. It was great to continue to see our students being challenged and engaged learners! Tonight is Teen Night from 6PM-8PM and please note the student pick up instructions below.
Looks like it is time for a short, yet fun week at BWMS. I'm looking forward to seeing our students support our community with the Builder's Club Food Drive and everyone enjoy the Staff vs Student Volleyball Game and other fun activities planned by our Student Council.
Have a great weekend!
~Mr. Josh Frame

A Note From The Nurse:
As a reminder, if your child is sick, please review the guidelines for when to remain at home. If your child needs to take any medication (over the counter or prescribed), please complete a Medication Administration Form and return it to school. Prescription medication requires a physician/APN's signature. Students in grades 7-12 are permitted to carry over-the-counter medications, with parent permission and a completed Medication Administration Form on file. Prescription medication is not permitted to be transported on the bus. Medical forms are available on the District website under Parents/Community. Thank you for keeping Big Walnut students and staff safe and healthy. Go Eagles!
