Counselors from Baldwin Street Middle School visited our fifth grade classroom today to talk with students about course selection for next year. A pink course selection sheet is coming home today.

• All students take four core classes: ELA, science, social studies, and math.
• Students can choose from a variety of exploratory options to fit their interests or their needs for additional support or challenge in specific content areas.
• Students received course selection sheets. These must be filled out and returned to your child’s teacher with a parent/guardian’s signature by Friday, March 23.
• For a more complete explanation of exploratory options, including course descriptions and promotional videos, see the BMS Counseling page.  You can find a video explaining the option if you click on the name of the exploratory course.
• If you have questions or need more information, please contact Baldwin Street Middle School at (616)669-7750 or contact one of the counselors:

Music staff from the middle school also visited this morning to fit students for instruments.

• Students had the opportunity to try out some different band and orchestra instruments.
• Your child will be bringing home information about these programs.
