We hope you are enjoying a fun and relaxing—though very warm—summer break! As the summer progresses, we’ve received a number of calls, emails, and visits regarding student schedules being published in Synergy. We truly appreciate your engagement and want to help ease any concerns.

To support a smooth start to the school year, please keep the following information and tips in mind:

• Wait to Check Schedules: We kindly ask that you wait until mid-August to view schedules in Synergy. Schedules are still being finalized as we work to balance class sizes and ensure students are placed in the most appropriate instructional settings based on current data.

• Disregard Course Section Numbers: We are currently reorganizing course section identifiers. This is part of our effort to eliminate any perception of labeling based on section numbers.

• Schedule Change Requests: At the start of the school year, families may complete a Schedule Change Request Form and submit it to the student's grade-level counselor. BTMS will begin reviewing schedule change requests after all enrolled students have received a schedule.

  • Creative Arts: Students may request changes based on course availability and prerequisite completion.

  • Core Classes: Changes require supporting data and teacher input to be considered.

  • TAG Courses: Students must be GATE-identified to be eligible for placement in a TAG course.

• Enjoy the Rest of Your Summer: Take time to relax, recharge, and engage in activities that bring you joy. We can’t wait to hear about your experiences when school resumes!

Thank you for your continued support and understanding. We look forward to welcoming everyone back soon for an exciting and successful school year!

Warm regards,
