Welcome to Byron Middle School
-
BMS is a community of learners committed to making the world a better place. We are a school where 6th-8th grade adolescents feel loved and love to learn. We believe in educating the whole student and have built a learning system around that purpose. Our students learn through inquiry-based instruction in their core classrooms and have the choice to register for multiple elective offerings. These learning experiences help our students express creativity and through curiosity define for themselves what may be a passion or interest in the future.
Through our implementation of the Profile of a Graduate (PoG), our students are expected to showcase their learning experiences to authentic audiences made up of parents, community members, and business partners. They will create artifacts that bring our PoG to life. We believe that these experiences connected with our core programming will increase our student’s engagement as they see a more rigorous and relevant purpose to their efforts.

In addition to core classes, all students have the opportunity to select a variety of "elective" courses. Please keep in mind we will try to honor all student requests, but there may be times when scheduling conflicts or a student's need for the required intervention will affect their course placement. Select your student's grade level on the interactive registration flyer for the necessary forms and documents. -
