The first day of school is here. There's no doubt that this year will be unique. Teachers, administration, and school staff have been working extremely hard this summer to make the transition to virtual school. We are all new to this, and we're in this together. What do you need to know? Here is some information for you. 1. First Week Schedule Monday, August 3 No School (Teacher Planning) Tuesday, August 4 Students log into Schoology for schedule Wednesday, August 5 Students log into Schoology for schedule Thursday, August 6 No School (Teacher Planning) - Election Day Friday, August 7 Students log into Schoology for schedule 2. BMS Virtual Schedule 3. What is Clever? What is Schoology? Clever is an online portal to many different educational applications. Once a student logs into his/her clever portal, (s)he can automatically get access to other things like Schoology, Teams, IXL, Flipgrid, and much more. There's no need to remember a login to all these applications if you have your login to Clever. clever.com/in/mnps Schoology is the school management software MNPS will be using to conduct virtual school. You can access it directly by going to mnps.schoology.com (or you can access Schoology through the Clever portal.) Once school gets going, teachers will give parents a parent access code to Schoology. This will give parents the ability to create their own parent account, to keep track of their student. 4. User names, passwords, and email addresses User Name: Every MNPS student has a user name that uses the first name, last initial and the last 5 digits of his or her student number. If John Doe's student number is 190987654, his user name is johnd87654 Password: Passwords are case sensitive. MNPS uses the first letter of the first name (capitalized) + first letter of the last name (lowercase) + date of birth. John Doe was born on September 8, 2007. His password is Jd090807 Email Address: student email addresses use the user name and adds @mnpsk12.org John Doe's email address is johnd87654@mnpsk12.org 4. What is the Parent Portal/Infinite Campus? Infinite Campus is the Parent Portal MNPS uses. Here, parents can check on their students' grades, attendance and more. For more information, you can learn more on the MNPS website. If you need your access key/GUID Code to setup your portal, please reach out to one of these two people: 5th and 6th grade students: Mrs. Queen at shawn.queen@mnps.org 7th and 8th grade students: Mrs. Butkerait: carolann.butkerait@mnps.org  5.

So get ready to come cheer on your Mighty Owls and support BMS. It should be a fun night for the entire community!   Help us reach our goals for the 2019-2020 school year through this amazing fundraising opportunity for the school, and enjoy great deals throughout the greater Nashville area! Bellevue Middle is the only public school in our area who sells City Saver. There are great local deals inside the book and the value is well over it's cost of $25. On top of the great savings in the book itself, there is also additional savings in the City Saver App for iPhone and Android. Sales run from Monday 8/19 through Monday 9/9. Make checks payable to Bellevue Middle PTO and drop them off in an envelope in the NAVY DROP BOX right outside the Owl Store. If you are interested in purchasing the Nashville South edition, please note this on the front of your envelope. Otherwise, books will be the Nashville edition. If you would rather purchase your book online, or if you have family who may want a book for a different location (there are many to choose from,) that is an option too. Our students can earn prizes for reaching certain sales goals.
Did someone say ice cream? We have created two teams to compete this year. Team 1: 5th & 6th grades. Team 2: 7th & 8th grades. The team with the most sales will earn an ice cream party! Now we're talkin'!
Here are some tips and tricks to be prepared on Monday.
