Classes will be in session each day from 8:00am â" 12:00pm starting June 4 through July 18 (no school on July 4th,5th, 6th) at each Bismarck Public School District elementary school. Children who will be entering grades 1-5 in the fall and whose parents live in the Bismarck Public School District are eligible to attend Camp Ed. The goal is that children who enroll in Camp Ed will maintain or improve their academic skills in reading and math. * You must register your child for the whole six-week session. However, if your family has special circumstances, you can visit with your building principal. * The REGISTRATION DEADLINE is March 23, 2018. Please fill out one registration form per child that will be attending and return it to your childâs school office. * A Parent or Legal Guardian signature is required on the registration form. * Due to limited funding, there is no supervision for your child before 8:00 or after 12:00. * Busing service is not provided for Camp Edventure. * This letter and the Camp Edventure registration form are also available on the Bismarck Public Schoolsâ website at http://www.bismarckschools.org. * All registrations turned in on time will be guaranteed a spot. Late registrations will be placed on a waiting list and parents will be notified if space becomes available. It is important for planning purposes that every effort is made to register your child by the March 23rd deadline. If you need to withdraw your child at a later date, please notify your childâs school so that a child on the waiting list can be placed. Please call your school office if you have any questions. Sincerely, Willie Nelson Grimsrud Principal/BPS Camp Edventure Coordinator ---------- January 2018 Dear Parent / Guardian, The Key Stage 4 options process for your child will begin on Thursday 1st February. On this day your child will be issued with an options booklet outlining the subjects that are available from September 2018 to May 2020 and then attend an assembly explaining the options process to them. I would be grateful if you could read through the booklet and discuss the possibilities with them. On the evening of Thursday 1st February there will be a meeting for parents starting at 7pm in the school hall. As part of this, I will outline the options process in detail and will be available to answer any questions you may have. Form tutors will also be there, as will teachers of ânewâ subjects that are available at GCSE but not in Key Stage 3. Due to the size of the hall, I would request that students do not attend the evening presentation, which in any case will duplicate most of what they will have heard in their options assembly earlier that day. There will be a period of three weeks after the presentations for you and your child to make choices, and I would encourage you to make the most of the Year 9 parentsâ evening on Thursday 22nd February to discuss options with individual subject teachers. The deadline for return of completed options forms to tutors is Tuesday 27th February 2018. I look forward to seeing you on the evening of Thursday 1st February. Yours sincerely, Gary Towers Assistant Teacher ---------------- January 10, 2018 Dear Parents and Guardians of the Class of 2018, Itâs time to talk about one of the highlights of senior year â" the Senior Class trip!

Road Access I want to bring to parentâs attention that work on the new north/south vehicle road is about to start. As you may have seen, there is fencing going up around the works site and this will be followed by hoarding in due course. This means that pupils alighting the 339 bus should now walk up to White Post Lane and along Marshgate Terrace as the Mandeville Place route will cease to exist. Attendance Many thanks for your support on this. Attendance at BMA is 2% above national average. Being at school on time every day makes a huge difference to the success of your child. Please communicate on a daily basis in cases of illness.
