Message Fro m The Principal
Mr. Thor son
As we start our 2nd
quarter, let’s review
honor roll requirements for
BVMS students:
“A” honor roll requires a GPA of 3.5
or higher. “B” honor roll requires a
GPA of 3.0 to 3.499.
Parents of students
who qualify for either
the “A” or “B” honor
roll will be given an
award letter and
bumper sticker to
recognize their student’s academic
achievement.
After receiving the
initial bumper sticker
and if the student
continues to be on
the A or B honor roll,
they may collect a
paw print.
Have a great Thanksgiving break, and be
safe if you and your
family are traveling
this holiday.

parents for the positive reinforcement
that they have given
these students.
Three students are
nominated each

These students were
not selected because
of their grades or because of their athletic ability. They were
chosen because they
are good students
and excellent role

Message From Mr. Skibsted, Assistant Principal
When it comes to a
middle school student
having success, parent
involvement is influential in helping create
student achievement.
Why?
When parents get involved in learning, student achievement
grows if they know their
parents care.
When?
Being involved in your
child's learning is simple: ask them how their
day was and what
homework they have

BRANDON VALLEY MIDDLE SCHOOL OPENS AT 7:15 A.M.
STUDENTS MAY GATHER IN THE COMMONS BEFORE
SCHOOL. IF A STUDENT NEEDS TO SEE A TEACHER BEFORE SCHOOL, THEY MUST CHECK INTO THE OFFICE BEFORE GOING INTO A CLASSROOM. TEACHERS MAY NOT BE
AVAILABLE BEFORE SCHOOL DUE TO MEETINGS, PLANNING, ETC. MEDIA CENTER IS OPEN AT 7:15 A.M. FOR ICU!
ICU (Intensive Care Unit) - 3000!!!
The Middle School’s ICU program has been in place since the beginning of
school year. This program provides the opportunity for students to complete any missing homework or work not completed at a quality level. Students who are on ICU spend 25 minutes of their lunch period working on
the assignment that they are on ICU for and the last 20 minutes eating
lunch. We also provide an opportunity for work to be completed before
school in the library from 7:15 - 8:00 a.m. and after school in the library
from 3:30 - 4:30 p.m. When a student is placed on ICU, the parent/
guardian’s receive an email and/or text saying their child has a missing assignment. This communication tool has greatly increased our interaction
between parent/guardian’s, student, and teachers. We currently have
over 3,000 assignments completed and turned in under ICU! This is an outstanding achievement for the Middle School. Our motto for ICU is “At BVMS
Every student completes EVERY assignment”, everyday we are working
closer to that goal.

Influenza (the flu) is an infection of the nose, throat, and lungs
caused by influenza viruses. There are many different influenza viruses that are constantly changing. They cause illness, hospital stays
and deaths in the United States each year.
The flu can be very dangerous for children. Each year about 20,000 children
younger than 5 years old are hospitalized from flu complications, like pneumonia. CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends that EVERYONE age 6 months and older should get a flu vaccine each
year (a shot or nasal mist) to protect from seasonal flu viruses. For more information, visit www.cdc.gov/flu or www.flu.gov or call 800-CDC-INFO
