Dear BMS Students and Parents, Welcome back! We are very excited about the possibilities of this school year. There are many opportunities for success for all of our students at Bowdon Middle School. We encourage you to give your best efforts in the classroom and to participate in the many school activities available to you. The Student Handbook is designed to be in harmony with board policy and the CCS Student Code of Conduct. We encourage parents to review the entire handbook with their children and keep it as a reference during this school year. Once you have read this handbook, please sign and return the assurance sheets provided to your child to verify you read and understand the policies by the end of the first full week of school. If you or your child has questions about any of the material in this handbook, please contact a teacher, the counselor, or the principal. Every effort will be made to provide students and parents with accurate, up-to-date information. Additional information regarding this handbook will be provided via written communication. Updated information will also be available on the school's website. It is our sincere hope that this school year at Bowdon Middle School will be a great one. Sincerely, Scott Estes Principal
