December 17 Early Release
Students will have early release on Friday, December 17. This is the last day before Winter Break.

Elementary students will be released at noon. We originally planned to dismiss elementary students at 12:35 p.m. However, to provide teachers with adequate planning time in the afternoon, we have moved up dismissal time.

Middle school students will be released at 11:12 a.m. High school students will be dismissed at 11:35 a.m.

Grab and go lunch options will be available for all grade levels before dismissal.
Community Conversation
We'll be hosting another Community Conversation tomorrow. It will be held on Zoom. The meeting link will be provided to those who sign up using the link below.

These are meant to be open-ended conversations. This will be a great opportunity for you to ask questions and share your thoughts about the needs of our school community. There will be no discussing personnel.

  • Friday, November 19th at 12:00 p.m. - via Zoom
  • Jill Abraham, Deputy Superintendent, Marlee Snowdon, Board President, and John Barno, Board Member, will join.
Bexley Athletics
Two Bexley High School student-athletes recently signed their letter of intent to play college athletics!

Katie Jude signed to play soccer for the Michigan Technological University Huskies, and Chris Mitchell signed to play basketball for the Ashland University Eagles!

Congratulations to both Katie and Chris on this incredible accomplishment!
Traffic Congestion Outside BMS
The Bexley City School District and the City of Bexley have been in collaboration to address the traffic congestion outside of Bexley Middle School during release time. The traffic along Cassingham Road is a safety concern, and we are asking for your support in keeping our students safe. Beginning in November, we will be taking the following steps to address this issue:

  • The Bexley Police Department will strive to place a Parking Enforcement Officer outside each day during dismissal. Those who block a private driveway, double park, park in the bus zone, or park next to the fire hydrant will be notified of the infraction at the time and will receive a citation in the mail.
  • The City of Bexley will extend the yellow paint on the curb into the street to assist drivers in identifying the bus zone.
  • Both the District and the City will provide ample warning of these new procedures through the communication channels available to each organization.
