Building-Wide Drug Search
On occasion, a canine (dog) drug search will be conducted. This search of the building will not be announced in advance. Students will be directed to remain in their assigned classroom during the time of the search.
Tornado Procedures
After assuming the proper position in shelter areas, students will wait for further instructions to be given by the principal or person in charge of the building at the time. Students shall remain silent and await further instructions from the teacher. An announcement will be made when the danger has passed or the drill is over.
Fire Drill Procedures
In case of an actual fire or fire drill, look to posted fire drill regulations on classroom walls. Follow these procedures:
1. Close all windows.
2. Turn off lights.
3. Walk in a single file line with absolutely no talking.
4. Close the door.
5. Exit the building rapidly, but walk.
6. Move 50 ft. from the building.
School Resource Officer (SRO)
A School Resource Officer (SRO) is accessible at the middle school much of the school day/week. Students can talk with the SRO regarding concerns that may involve a variety of issues as necessary.
Student Conduct
Introduction
Most students are never referred to the BMS office for misbehavior, misconduct, or a violation of district policy or school rules. Our expectation is that all students conduct themselves in ways that demonstrate respect for themselves, others, and the environment. Clearly, students are expected to make wise choices and good decisions that conform to school/district regulations and the reasonable directives/requests from authorized school personnel. The school/ district policy is in effect at school, to and from school, during extracurricular activities and special events, and when in any form of contact/communication with a school district employee.
