Posted on April 16, 2025

Hello, Middle School Students and Families! Below is a recap of this week’s MS Meeting.

Emma Hogan ’30 and Tahlia Horvitz ’30 ran today’s meeting. You can check out the slides from this week’s meeting here.

THE BVR STUDENT

I shared Comes to Class on time with necessary materials & a ready-to-learn attitude.

One of the tools you use the most in class is your computer. Having your computer charged and ready to use is an important part of coming to class prepared. When you come to school for the day, you should have your computer fully charged. Bringing a charger for your computer is important so you can be prepared all day.
