December 5 - December 9
Happy December! As we prepare for the end of this semester, we have some important upcoming events.
Tuesday-Friday this week: Benchmark tests begin each day at 7:15. Please do not bring your students late, or they will have to take make-up tests because we cannot interrupt the test by going into classes late.
School Choice Open House opportunities: Tuesday 8:30-10:00 a.m. - OR - Thursday 5:30-7:00 p.m. Students who want to attend BMS but do not live in our zone can make an appointment to tour the school on Tuesday morning or can come and watch our students during our Showcase of Learning Thursday evening. This will be an excellent way to see the real learning that happens at Brown Middle School and the opportunities our students have for elective classes.
Showcase of Learning: Students perform learning Thursday evening 5:30-7:00 in the gym. Students in music, band, photography, art, e-lab, Bible History, Spanish, Leadership, Culture Club and social studies classes can sign up to share/explain their learning process and will earn 3 days of dress down before Christmas break for their participation. All parents are invited to attend to see all the great learning that is happening at Brown Middle School. We want you to see the success your students are having!
End of Quarter 2/Semester 1: Last chance for makeup work is Wednesday, December 14th. Please make sure your students complete all makeup work or test re-takes so that all students are passing their classes before the semester ends. The semester average is half of their final grade for the year, so it is important that they are completing all work and do not have zeros!
Teacher Appreciation at Christmas: If you'd like to join the administration to show our teachers how much we appreciate them, please call the office this week.
We look forward to the week with your students as they show how much they have learned this quarter. Have a great week!

Parents and/or visitors wishing to speak with an administrator or our Dean of Students should make an appointment. The administration team has many responsibilities during the day, and in order to ensure the safety of our students and staff, guests will need to contact the front office at 423-344-1439 and speak to the BMS secretary to set up an appointment. We hope this will help us make better use of your time as well, and allow us time needed to prepare for the meeting as well as educate your child and talk to our teachers. We appreciate your cooperation as we all strive to make Brown Middle School the best middle school in Hamilton County.
