Picking up Your Student Early? ...Parking Reminder
Your Input is Encouraged
The BAMS administration and faculty recognize that educating our students is a shared responsibility involving school, home, and the community. We would love your input!
This information will help us to identify ways to improve and sustain meaningful family engagement for the 2023-2024 school year. Our school wants to provide our students and families with the best possible trainings, resources, materials, and events. The results from this survey will help us to develop our family engagement plan (event calendar, communication preferences, and types of events) and update our school-parent compact, if needed. This survey will open on Friday, September 8, 2023 at 8:00 a.m. Please complete the survey by Monday, September 11, 2023.
If you would like to fill out this survey, a link has been sent to BAMS families via email and is available on our school website (Home page - https://bams.ss18.sharpschool.com/), School Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/434715300933114), and PTA Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/bamspta).
