This morning, National Junior Honor Society students passed out hot chocolate to parents at morning drop off and bus drivers! A sweet treat for Valentine's Day and to say thank you for all they do!

This message is for our 8th graders who have been lifting at the high school. There will be no lifting tomorrow, Friday, February 13th due to the early dismissal.

Congratulations to our Math Field Day participants who placed and will be going on to the regional competition!

While reviewing for their math test on ratios, students in Mrs. Johnson’s class put their skills to the test using the classic game Connect Four. Every correct answer earned a chip on the board.

Reminder for students to bring fully-charged Winbooks and chargers to school tomorrow as we will have Cambium Benchmark testing tomorrow through Thursday! Thank you!

... Part 2 of our busy Saturday... Math Field Day! Congratulations to all of our winners and thank you to the students, parents, grandparents, and friends that came out to support your "Mathletes" A HUGE thank you to the teachers for all of their planning and hard work that went into making the day run so smoothly!

It's a busy Saturday for BMS students! We are wishing our Science Fair participants the best of luck in the Regional Fair at WLU. 💚💛

8th Grade Parents and Students--Important Information about Upcoming High School Scheduling

CyberSWAT (Safety While Accessing Technology)/Skyll is now being used as the primary tool to address digital citizenship for West Virginia’s students in grades 3-12. Senate Bill 466 was passed during the 2024 legislative session to be implemented during the 2025-2026 school year. The purpose of SB 466 is to provide education for students on various online safety topics, including recognizing and reporting suspicious communications, protecting personal information, digital relationships and understanding the risks of sharing explicit material. The Skyll platform is a simulation ‘game’ with a Choose Your Own Adventure type of scenarios for students to work through. The course is composed of six episodes that include topics such as sharing personal information, cyberbullying, phishing scams, etc. Through these choice-driven stories, students practice empathy, self-regulation, and sound judgment in realistic social and digital scenarios.

All students (K-12) must participate digital citizenship training annually. Parents may choose for their student to OPT out of participating in the CyberSWAT/Skyll course. An alternative digital citizenship curriculum (Common Sense Media) will be provided for students whose parents have submitted in writing to the school principal for their student to OPT OUT. These must be received by February 27, 2026.

The form will be sent home with your students this week. It is also uploaded here.

Brooke Middle School National Junior Honor Society, in collaboration with the Brooke High School FBLA, are collecting children's books February 2nd-February 13th. If you have any gently used books that you could no longer use, please think about donating them! Our drop off box will be located in our main lobby at the middle school by the security office.

Congratulations to our Science Fair Winners... they compete this weekend at WLU for the Regional Science Fair.
Good luck to all of you!
