We want to remind parents that our back parking lot is a busy place and we ask that you not deliver or pick up your child at that location. Any extra vehicles in that space can disrupt personnel that are trying to get to their locations.

Dear Parents/Guardians:
Welcome to the 2026/2027 school year at Bert Bowes Middle School!
As an invaluable part of our support team, we look forward to working with you to assist your child during their learning journey!
