Food can be dropped off in the teacher’s lounge beginning at 6:00 am. We would like to have the buffet ready for the staff by 6:45 am. Please call or email Vicki if you would be willing to help with this special event. My phone number is 442-8950 and my email is vmoriart@suscom-maine.net

Welcome to a exciting, new school year at the Bath Middle School. We invite you to join the BMS PTSA and we welcome your involvement.  Everyone— parents, educators, students and other citizens active in the community—are invited to join our group!

We meet on the 3rd Thursday of every month in the BMS Home Ec room at 6:00pm.

Our membership fee is $5.00 per individual. Membership allows you to vote at the PTSA meetings. You do not have to be a member to participate in meetings or volunteer at events.

Being a member of the BMS PTSA does not mean that you have to volunteer dozens of hours each week. Any amount of time that you are able to help with any event is appreciated!

Joining the Bath Middle School PTSA is a wonderful way to make a difference in the education and quality of life for our children. PTA/PTSA is an organization whose members care about children and youth. More than 30 years of research has proven that children do better when their parents are involved both at home and in school.

When you join the Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) you will:

   Get Connected.  There’s no better way to know what’s happening in your school. Receive PTSA information and news via e-mail and monthly newsletters

   Be a Role Model. By becoming a PTSA member, you’ll be demonstrating to your child the importance you place on education.

   Tap into a Network.  PTSA functions are opportunities to meet other parents and teachers, building rapport and discussing issues that are on your mind.

   Speak up.  Because the PTSA is a forum for exchanging ideas, you are encouraged to make suggestions and voice opinions.
  

   Watch Yourself Grow. By volunteering with your PTSA, you gain valuable experiences. It is an opportunity to put your skills and hobbies to good use for your child and all children in the community.
