Dear Bromfield Middle School Families, 

Happy First Day!

It was a wonderful first day of school today! Our TBS Buddies helped start the day off right by welcoming our 6th graders with individualized signs on their lockers. The positive energy was palpable throughout the building as students found their way to classes and reconnected with peers and staff. Teachers struck an excellent balance between building community and setting students up for success in the year ahead.


I want to thank all of our faculty and staff for managing such a smooth and enjoyable opening to the year. I am also very proud of our students for the enthusiasm and engagement they brought to the first day. It was great to have everyone back!


Cell Phone Policy

As you may have heard, Harvard Public Schools has instituted a new policy prohibiting student cell phone use during school hours. While the new districtwide policy does not materially change our expectations at TBMS, where cell phones were already prohibited during the school day, it was nonetheless great to see zero violations all day today. Well done, students!


If families have questions about the new policy or how it applies at TBMS, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.


District-Wide Student Handbook

The district has transitioned to a district-wide student handbook for all schools. This handbook provides important information, policies, and expectations for students and families across the district. Families can access the handbook on the district website. Please take a moment to review it and keep it as a helpful reference throughout the school year.


Curriculum Night - September 17

Please mark your calendars for TBMS Curriculum Night on Thursday, September 17, 5:30-7:30 PM. Curriculum Night is an opportunity for parents and caregivers to meet their child’s teachers, learn more about the classes and learning experiences ahead this year, and get a better sense of what a typical day looks like for our students at TBMS.


We look forward to welcoming families back to the building and sharing a little of what your children experience here each day. More information about the evening’s schedule and logistics will be shared soon.


Please let me know if you have any questions.
Mr. Daniel Hudder
Bromfield Middle School Principal

WEEKLY UPDATES

SIXTH GRADE

Welcome to sixth grade! We are so excited to have you here and to begin this journey with you. Middle school is a wonderful experience filled with new challenges, new opportunities, and new friendships. You won't have everything figured out right away, and that's okay. We are here to support you, challenge you, and help you grow. Most importantly, remember that you belong here, and we are excited to share this new adventure with you.



SEVENTH GRADE

Happy first day of school!  We look forward to welcoming you into our classrooms and establishing a foundation for a successful, memorable year.  



EIGHTH GRADE

Here we are at the beginning of the year.  Welcome incoming 8th graders! This will be the first year you will have a laptop instead of an ipad. In order to help students get ready for the year having this great tool, we will be spending time in science class helping students get the laptop set-up with some key settings and learn some organizational strategies.  We want to be sure everyone gets off to a great start.  Happy beginnings to everyone!



UNIFIED ARTS

Welcome back to another exciting school year! Our Unified Arts team includes Band, Chorus, Digital Literacy, Physical Education, and Health, and we are so excited to welcome our students back and begin another wonderful year together.


Our team is fortunate to have a group of talented and dedicated educators who truly love what they teach and, most importantly, love working with children. Each teacher brings specialized knowledge and enthusiasm to their subject area, giving students opportunities to learn, create, move, explore, and grow in different ways throughout their middle school experience!
