Dear Branchburg Community,

Each year, the New Jersey Department of Education honors outstanding educators through the Governor’s Educator of the Year Program. This prestigious recognition celebrates the dedication, innovation, and impact of the teachers and educational specialists who make a difference in the lives of our students every day.

We are proud to have so many incredible staff members who go above and beyond for our students—providing engaging instruction, creating supportive classroom environments, and nurturing social, emotional, and academic growth. Now is our opportunity to shine a light on their hard work and commitment!

We invite parents, guardians, students, and staff to participate by submitting a nomination for a deserving teacher or educational services professional. Your nominations help us recognize those who embody the spirit of our school community and who inspire excellence both inside and outside the classroom.

Taking a few minutes to complete the nomination form is a meaningful way to say thank you and to ensure our school’s exceptional educators receive the recognition they deserve.

We hope everyone enjoyed the BMX assembly on Wednesday! A big thank you to the BEF for sponsoring this event for our students! Thank you to our teacher volunteers, Mr. LaBadie, Ms. Beck, Ms. DeVita, Ms. Kepner, and Ms. Kirkpatrick for bravely volunteering!

Parent-teacher conferences will take place at the middle school on November 3-5. Teachers have already sent meeting requests this week to the parents of any students who have areas of concern in one or more classes. If you received a teacher request for a conference, please sign up for a time slot by Tuesday, October 21st. 

All remaining conference slots will open on Friday, October 24th. If you have any specific concerns about your child’s progress in a particular class, then you’re welcome to schedule a meeting once signups are open to everyone. However, if you have not yet received a meeting request from a teacher and if you have no concerns about your child’s academic progress, then please do not feel that you need to schedule a conference.

While parent-teacher conferences are standard for all students in elementary school, they are reserved for more specific concerns in middle school. Our teachers and counselors are available throughout the school year to meet with parents regarding emergent concerns or to check-in on academic or behavioral progress. 

Come support the BCMS Music Department on Tues October 28th!

The Student Council is excited to host the Fall Dance on Friday, 11/21! We are looking for chaperones willing to help different stations (i.e. games, raffle baskets, bathroom, etc.) during the dance. The dance will run from 6:30-8:30pm, and we are kindly asking chaperones to arrive at BCMS by 6:15pm for setup and instruction. More details will be shared as the date gets closer, but please use the form below to share your interest and availability with us. Thank you in advance for your support!
