BMS School Day: 7:45 a.m. until 2:44 p.m.

Attention Brookside Students and Parents

It's that time of year once again to start scheduling for a new school year!

Brookside Middle School-The counselors will also be holding an orientation meeting with students at BMS on March 4th to review the scheduling process, course offerings and graduation requirements. On Monday, March 11th, students will be selecting their courses and alternate courses with their high school counselor. The students will be making course selections on the computer. They will need to complete a scheduling form with you prior to computer entry. The form will be given to parents and students during their orientation meetings.

We will be sending home a copy of the course selections (it will not include alternate classes the students selected) with the students on March 4th. This is NOT a schedule. Please only return this course selection form if you would like to request any changes. Parents can review their student's selections and write any changes they feel are needed on that paper. Return forms to Mrs. Mumford at BMS. Finalized schedules will be mailed home over the summer. All changes to that schedule will need to be made BEFORE the start of school in August.

The parent orientation meeting on Thursday, March 7, 2019 at 6:30 pm is VERY important to insure a successful transition for your student's freshman year at Brookside High School. Please plan on attending!!

If you click on the heading of this message you will find the new curriculum guide for 2019-2020, the presentation packet, and scheduling sheets for each grade. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the Guidance Office at 440-949-4223.
