Per Board of Education: Please note that school will be in session on Monday, February 16, 2026. This day was originally scheduled as an Outside School Environment (OSE) Day, but it will now be used as a make-up day for the snow closure on Monday, December 15, 2025.

We are excited to announce a free parent presentation with Homeland Security Investigations’ Project iGuardian to learn how to recognize online risks, protect your child from digital threats, and keep kids safe in today’s online world. This event will be taking place on Tuesday, February 10th at 5 pm at the school! We hope to see everyone there!
We are so excited to see our students on Monday! We hope everyone has had an amazing start to the year! Attached is our monthly school counseling newsletter as well as the breakfast and lunch menus for the month.
GATE PRICES - We have received a directive from Mr. Waugaman at the county office that all gate prices will be raised to $6 effective January 5, 2026.
All county employees are to bring their county badge and present it when signing to get into an event free. The badge only admits YOU into the game, not an additional guest.
Coaches and Approved Volunteers -- There will be a list of the individuals that are approved to get in free. This list ONLY includes individuals approved by the BOE.
The Referee Organization raised their prices quite a bit recently and schools are struggling to cover the cost, equipment, and other expenses involved.
Students in K - 5 are not charged at BMS. All students in 6th and above are charged for entrance.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
We hope our entire BMS family has an amazing break! We tried to make the school a cozy place full of spirit this month. We have had a wonderful school year so far, and we are looking forward to seeing all the amazing things that will be accomplished next semester. But until then, stay warm and safe! We will see everyone back on Monday, January 5, 2026!
Tomorrow is the last day of school in 2025! The last day before break is an important part of the school year. Students wrap up learning, enjoy meaningful activities, and connect with classmates and teachers. Thank you for helping us finish strong by being present on Friday. We will start dismissal at 12:30 pm.
We have a new date for the Middle School Band Concert - Thursday, January 8th. We hope to see you all there!
Tomorrow's theme is Festive Dress, and we will be hosting our third annual Holiday Hoopla. Students can bring money to purchase small gifts for family and friends (all items are $5 & under). See attached picture for more information about this event!
Today, Rick Griffith and Dr. Lawerence visited a group of students to present awards to three of our students for winning the Pumpkin House and Marshall University Math Club Puzzle Middle School contest. In October, students were given an opportunity to complete the puzzle to enter into the competition. Of the students that competed, Buffalo Middle School came out with three winners.
Congratulations to Jace Hager (1st place), Logan Fraley (2nd place), and Scout Maynard (3rd place). These three students were recognized today and received a handmade trophy by Rick Griffith along with a check for $40. We are extremely proud of these students in this accomplishment.
