Good Afternoon!
With the Springlike weather coming our way, I wanted to remind students and parents about our Blennerhassett Middle School dress code expectations. Tank tops, crop tops, short shorts (where the pockets are longer than the shorts) or shorts/jeans with excessive holes in them are not permitted. Thank you for helping to ensure your child comes to school dressed appropriately each day.
Good Morning!
This is a reminder that grades close for the 3rd Nine Weeks on Friday, March 15th. Please check Schoology for any missing assignments that can be turned in.

7th Grade Parents Only
Field Trip Permission forms and payment ($20) are due to Mrs. Headley by Friday, March 22nd. No late permission forms or payment will be accepted.
Good Afternoon,
This is reminder to all students and parents that costumes are not permitted to be worn during the school day or at extracurricular events at Blennerhassett Middle School. Costumes not only pose a safety concern for our students and staff but also disrupt the educational process. We appreciate your support and understanding in this matter. ~ Mrs. Arthur
