Dear Parent/Guardian and Student,
The 6th grade will continue learning about the CESU Health Education curriculum at BRMS. The health class will meet twice a week, for sixty minutes, during one of the four quarters. The students will receive their grades on their report cards at the end of the trimester in which they had health.
