SAFETY REMINDER

It has come to our attention that some of our students have been leaving school grounds after they arrive on campus. BMS is a closed campus. Once your student arrives on Bush Middle School grounds (or TSD property, to include a school bus), it is unsafe for them to leave without adult supervision. Whether they arrive on campus by bus, are dropped off by a parent/guardian, ride a bike, or walk to school, once students arrive on school grounds, they need to stay here! (For more information, refer to the BMS Student Handbook, p. 10 Closed Campus.) Please talk to your student about the possible dangers associated with leaving campus without adult supervision!

Safe Schools - See Something, Say Something!

Students and other members of the public can anonymously report or share information of a threat or potential threat to student safety. Tipsters will be able to leave a voice message, text message, web connect or email. Messages are monitored by the administrative office during regular business hours. Please note this is not an emergency response line. If you are reporting an emergency situation, please call 911. When leaving your tip, leave as much detail as possible so that your concern can be thoroughly investigated. All tips will be considered seriously.
