Summer Math Homework:
All math homework information was sent to BAMS Family Emails on June 15th.  The math work is due by July 30th.  

**Dates and times for parent/guardian help and student tutoring will be sent through mail and email as dates and times are available.  


Below are suggested summer reading lists for all incoming 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students.  These readings will help build a background for what you will be studying next year.  These reading lists are not intended for memorization or full comprehension, but to build a basic knowledge of the documents and information contained in them.  These are just suggestions for those parents looking for good reading material for their children over the summer.
