The California Department of Education (CDE) uses the Education Benefit Form to calculate supplemental funding for our schools which is built into the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP). Supplemental funding in the LCAP is used to improve and enhance services to your student, including but not limited to: Student Chromebooks, Tutoring, Advanced Placement Test Fees, additional Counseling services, Career Technical Education programs, and other programs designed to assist students in becoming College Ready and Career Prepared. It is extremely important that you complete this form online at https://willitsunified.rocketscanapps.com/ Every eligible form that is not submitted means lost resources for our students. All information provided is completely confidential and will not be shared or used for any other purpose. Thank you!!

Hello BGMS Parents, Guardians, and Caregivers, We are on our last four days of this school year. Monday is the end of trimester 3. Grades will be final in Aeries on Wednesday morning. Eighth grade promotion practice will be on Wednesday from 12:00 to 2:00. The Ceremony begins at 6:00. All promoting eighth graders should be at the WHS field at 5:30pm. Thursday is the last attendance day, and it is a minimum day for students. Summer Program at BGMS begins Monday, June, 13th at 8:00 am and 12:00 pm. The return road to students returning to in person instruction, and regular school hours, has been challenging, but we made it to the end of the year. BGMS would like to thank all of the parents, guardians, and caregivers who have been with us this year. We appreciate your input, our assistance, and mostly your advocacy for your children. I will not be with you at BGMS next year, but I am sure that it will be an amazing year of learning. I know that I have grown tremendously as a person due to my service to the Baechtel Grove community, and for this I thank you. I will, however, be here the next three weeks for this year’s Summer Program. Ms. Munguia Hola padres, tutores y cuidadores de BGMS, Estamos en nuestros últimos cuatro días de este año escolar. El lunes es el final del tercer trimestre. Las calificaciones serán finales en Aeries el miércoles por la mañana. La práctica de promoción de octavo grado será el miércoles de 12:00 a 2:00. La Ceremonia comienza a las 6:00. Todos los estudiantes de octavo grado en promoción deben estar en el campo de WHS a las 5:30 p. m. El jueves es el último día de asistencia y es un día mínimo para los estudiantes. El programa de verano en BGMS comienza el lunes 13 de junio a las 8:00 am y 12:00 pm. El camino de regreso para que los estudiantes regresen a la instrucción en persona y al horario escolar regular ha sido un desafío, pero lo logramos hasta el final del año. BGMS quisiera agradecer a todos los padres, tutores y cuidadores que han estado con nosotros este año. Agradecemos su aporte, nuestra asistencia y, sobre todo, su defensa de sus hijos. No estaré con ustedes en BGMS el próximo año, pero estoy segura de que será un año increíble de aprendizaje. Sé que he crecido enormemente como persona gracias a mi servicio a la comunidad de Baechtel Grove, y por eso les agradezco. Si, estaré aquí las próximas tres semanas para el Programa de Verano de este año. Sra. Munguía

Hello BGMS Parents, Guardians, and Caregivers, Thank you to all of our AVID families that attended the AVID End of the Year Celebration last week. It is this partnership with families in the AVID at BGMS that has proven to motivate students to attain their goal for university study, after high school. We are in the last two weeks of the 2021-2022 school year. We still expect everyone to attend school daily. BGMS Student Council is sponsoring a Spirit Week this week, with dress up days, an attendance reward, and a dance on Friday from 3:30 to 5:00. Tickets for the dance are pre-sold during lunches this week. All the grade level end of the year filed trips will take place this week, for eligible students. 8th and 7th grade field trips are on Thursday, and the 6th grade field trip is on Friday. All permission slips must be turned in before the deadline, as stated on the permission slips given to students. As the weather gets warmer we also want to remind parents to help us make sure that students are keeping to the dress code at BGMS. Mainly short shorts, bare midriffs, and muscle shirts are what we are seeing out of dress code. Ms. Munguia Hola padres, tutores y cuidadores de BGMS, Gracias a todas nuestras familias AVID que asistieron a la celebración de fin de año de AVID la semana pasada. Es esta asociación con las familias en AVID en BGMS lo que ha demostrado motivar a los estudiantes a alcanzar su meta de estudios universitarios, después de la escuela secundaria. Estamos en las últimas dos semanas del año escolar 2021-2022. Todavía esperamos que todos asistan a la escuela todos los días. El Consejo Estudiantil de BGMS está patrocinando una Semana de Espíritu esta semana, con días de disfraces, una recompensa por asistencia y un baile el viernes de 3:30 a 5:00. Los boletos para el baile se venden por adelantado durante los almuerzos de esta semana. Todos los viajes de fin de año de nivel de grado se llevarán a cabo esta semana, para estudiantes elegibles. Las excursiones de los grados 8 y 7 son los jueves, y las excursiones de los grados 6 son los viernes. Todos los formularios de permiso deben entregarse antes de la fecha límite, como se indica en los formularios de permiso que se entregan a los estudiantes. A medida que el clima se vuelve más cálido, también queremos recordarles a los padres que nos ayuden a asegurarnos de que los estudiantes cumplan con el código de vestimenta en BGMS. Principalmente, lo que estamos viendo fuera del código de vestimenta son los shorts muy cortos, el abdomen descubierto y las camisetas sin mangas de musculos. Sra. Munguía

Padres y tutores de Baechtel Grove, Nos gustaría recordar a nuestra comunidad escolar que tenemos un código de vestimenta en nuestra escuela. Necesitamos su ayuda como padres y tutores para ayudar a nuestros estudiantes a seguir el código de vestimenta en estos últimos días del año escolar. Aquí está nuestro código de vestimenta como referencia: Los estudiantes deben tener cuidado de que la ropa esté ordenada, limpia y apropiada para la asistencia y las actividades escolares. A los estudiantes con ropa inapropiada se les dará la oportunidad de cambiarse o llamar a casa para ropa nueva. En la tercera ofensa pueden ser referidos para acción disciplinaria. El código de vestimenta incluye, pero no se limita a: 1) Están prohibidas las camisas, sombreros, botones, prendedores u otra ropa con imágenes crudas, vulgares, obscenas, sexualmente sugerentes, drogas, marihuana, tabaco, alcohol o sus industrias. 2) No se pueden usar en la escuela camisas o blusas que revelen el estómago desnudo de una persona. Las blusas deben tener tiras de 1/2”. La longitud de toda la vajilla inferior debe llegar a la punta de los dedos. Los agujeros en los pantalones también deben estar debajo de la punta de los dedos. 3) Se deben usar zapatos en todo momento. Traiga zapatos apropiados para educación física. 4) No se pueden usar sombreros, capuchas ni anteojos de sol sin receta en los edificios escolares (biblioteca, aulas, cafetería, gimnasio, oficina). 5) La ropa exterior debe cubrir toda la ropa interior en todo momento. 6) No se permiten pantalones de pijama ni pantuflas en la escuela. Agradecemos su ayuda con este asunto. Gracias
