January 2022
Greetings Families and Students,
Fifth grade is getting closer to completion and it is time to start thinking about the transition to 6th grade. I’d like to take this opportunity to invite all 5th grade students and their parents to a virtual information meeting about the Academy at Black Mountain Middle School.
The BMMS Academy is focused on high student expectations, goals, and results, personal choice and commitment empowering students to become responsible leaders. The Academy represents those students who are willing to do their very best.
The Academy offers depth and complexity to the standard curriculum and a learning community that is strong. Given a rigorous curriculum, the ideal Academy student is one who is focused on academic performance, understands the need to invest extra time and effort, makes no excuses and takes no shortcuts - all in all, a student who is determined and committed to being successful.
The Academy is a family, meaning the students, staff, and parents work together. Participation in the Academy program requires parents to be highly involved and responsible for ensuring their student’s success. Through a high level of parent-teacher-student collaboration, it is the belief of the Academy that the student will flourish and become a more responsible, resilient, and independent learner.
At the current time, our plan is to continue with the BMMS Academy for the 2022-2023 school year by accepting a limited number of students as long as we're able to raise the funds necessary to keep our program running. In planning for the 2022-2023 school year, we are looking to raise at least $100,000 which would enable us to bring in another class of BMMS Academy sixth grade students. Interest Forms will be available to the students/parents attending this virtual information night.
