Dear Parents and Staff, Attached to this message, you’ll find this week’s newsletter, filled with important updates, upcoming events, and the lunch menu. We encourage you to read through the newsletter for all the details and exciting updates happening in our school community.

Brusly Middle School is excited to be using our new two-way communication system, Rooms, conveniently located right inside the WBRSchools app. Parents, another round of invites for the platform has been sent. If you haven't activated your account yet, check your email/text for instructions to get started.

We understand that some students may not have WiFi access but for those that do, we encourage you to complete the online assignments prior to returning to school. But don't stress! Assignments will not be collected until 3 days after our return to school. I apologize for not including this in the previous message. Also, remember, they will not be graded.

Good afternoon, I hope that you are all staying warm and enjoying this time off. This is a reminder that your child's teacher has posted distance learning assignments in their online platforms. Please ensure that your child completes the assignments prior to their return to school. The assignments are not for a grade, but will be counted for attendance. If not complete, your child will receive unexcused absences for days missed. Thank you. Looking forward to seeing our students soon!

Dear Ladies, We wanted to let you know that, due to our first-ever SNOW blizzard, the Mom Prom event has been rescheduled. With the snow and ice sticking around for a while, we want to prioritize everyone's safety and make sure we can celebrate together when conditions are better. We’re currently working on finding a new date and will announce it as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding and stay safe! BMS PTO

WBR Schools will remain closed tomorrow, 1/24/25.

Please note that WBR Schools will be closed on 1/23/25.

Good morning, I hope this message finds you equipped with all of the essentials to keep warm. This historic winter storm will be one that you and your children will always remember. If you are able to, take this time to make cherished memories with your children. Feel free to email me photos of your fun at renee.aymond@wbrschools.net. In the subject line state your child(ren)'s name and grade level. By sharing, you agree that your photos can be shared on our social media platforms. Have fun! Mrs. Renee Aymond

Please note the updated closure announcement for 1/21/25 and 1/22/25.
