Middle School News

 Attention BBHMS Families: 

BBHMS has an opportunity to earn money by recycling paper. You can bring your paper, magazines, newspapers, shopping catalogs, and junk mail as well as shredded paper (in a plastic bag please) to the middle school to recycle seven days a week. Our bins are located behind the middle school where you can drive right up and drop off your paper. BBHMS earns $20.00 for each ton we recycle. This money goes directly to our technology fund. The fund is used to purchase technology that all students can use.
 
 We are entering a recycling contest beginning April 1st that lasts the entire month. The school that recycles the most paper will receive double the normal recycling pay scale compensation.
 
Instead of putting your paper at the curb, why not drop it off at the middle school and earn dollars for your children. There are 4 bins behind the middle school. Three of these bins (the three closest to the H.S.) belong to the middle school and the other belongs to the high school. Why not help the environment and earn money at the same time.
 
Thank you for your support of this important fund raising effort.

A Career Day has been planned for the  6th Grade on April 30. We will have speakers during the first two periods of the day. All 6th grade students have received the volunteer form to take home .

 

The Ohio Achievement Assessment (OAA) will be administered to all Middle School students the week of April 26th. 

  • 4/26 - Reading - all grades
  • 4/28 - Math        - all grades
  • 4/30 - Science  - 8th grade only

Please be sure your student is rested, has a good breakfast, and is on time to school testing week.  Students that are tardy will not be able to enter the classroom once the test begins.  Students that are absent or miss the test will be given a make-up. Please try to schedule vacations and necessary appointments for your student on non testing days. 

The results will not be available before school is out for the summer.

Thank you for your assistance in giving your student the best possible opportunity to be successful on the OAA.

For over 15 years, Brecksville-Broadview Heights Middle School has been a host location for the GCCTM math contest.  We are unable to host the contest this year; however, the contest is still being held, just at different locations around Cuyahoga County.  The contests will take place on the following dates:

 

6th grade contest:                      Saturday, May 8th, 2010

7th & 8th grade contest: Saturday, May 1st, 2010

 

If you would like your child to participate in the contest, you will have to do the following:

 

  1. If your child is in 6th grade, put together a team of 4 individuals.  If your child is in 7th or 8th grade, put together a team of 3 individuals.  You may not compete in a contest younger than your grade.  In other words, 8th graders may not compete in a 6th or 7th grade contest.
  2. Have one team member send a check for $12.50 to the middle school main office. The check should be made out to BBHMS and should have “GCCTM Math Contest” in the message line.  The deadline for 6th graders is Friday, March 26th and Friday, March 12th for 7th & 8th grade students.  If your child is unable to attend, there will be no refunds.
  3. All students will be responsible for providing their own transportation to the contest site.  Our most likely site choices will be either Strongsville or Berea.
  4. Mr. Auble will be at the contest site, so he is the one you should contact with site location information. He can be reached by e-mail at aublem@bbhcsd.org.   He is also willing to work after school with any students who want to prepare for the contest.  You or your child’s team can arrange a time to meet with him.
This year’s showcase of the Students In The Arts program is scheduled for March 3, 2010 in the Brecksville-Broadview Heights Middle School's Cafeteria from 7pm to 9pm.  This year’s theme was "Happiness Is".  There were 188 entries resulting in 89 awards, 9 honorable mentions and 1 Best of Show being recognized.  Come see all of the student entries in this years program.. 
 
Notice the showcase will take place at the Middle School NOT the High School this year.
