BCMS Thursday News 6.18.26

Dear BCMS Families,

As we close the 2025-2026 school year, I would like to take a moment to congratulate our Branchburg Central Middle School Class of 2026. Graduation is a significant milestone, and we are incredibly proud of all that our graduates have accomplished during their time at BCMS. We wish them continued success as they begin their high school journey.

I would also like to extend my sincere thanks to our PTO for hosting a beautiful 8th Grade Dinner Dance and to the many staff members who worked tirelessly to plan and coordinate the numerous end-of-year events and activities that helped make lasting memories for our students. Their dedication and commitment to our school community are greatly appreciated.

To all of our BCMS families, thank you for your partnership, support, and trust throughout the school year. Working together, we have celebrated successes, overcome challenges, and created meaningful experiences for our students.

As we look ahead to summer, families can find information regarding summer assignments and learning opportunities on the district website at the link here.

I hope each of you has a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable summer filled with time to recharge and make special memories with family and friends. We look forward to welcoming our returning students back in September and beginning another exciting year together.

Thank you again for a wonderful school year, and best wishes for a happy summer!

Sincerely,

Dr. Beth Stanton

Principal

Branchburg Central Middle School
