Update on BIS Yearbooks. We continue to work with Life Touch to determine when yearbooks will be finalized and how they are going to get to students. Life Touch, like many companies, have been working with reduced staff and working hours the last two months. When we have more information, a message will be communicated to all parents and guardians. We appreciate your patience and support as we work with Life Touch to get yearbooks to our students.

A message was specifically sent to 6^th Grade parents regarding courses at BMS next school year. That information is available for your reference in the link below. Please contact me or Mrs. Adkins with any questions.
