The BulletSTARS Monthly Student Award highlights those All-STARS within our IS/MS school community. These STARS display the character traits listed below.

S - Safety (Behaves in ways that ensure their own safety and the safety of others)
T - Teamwork (Be polite, thoughtful, and considerate of others and/or property)
A - Accountability (Demonstrates responsible decision-making)
R - Respect (Shows respect for themselves, peers, teachers, and the school)

All these characteristics shape BulletSTARS. Every TWO months, we will focus on ONE letter of the STARS acronym. For the month of January, we focused on ACCOUNTABILITY. The following students were nominated by their grade-level teams and/or Homeroom Teachers for making TEAMWORK a priority in their learning and interactions every day!

❄️☃️Today, January 19, is a Virtual Weather Day for Brandywine Heights Area School District due to hazardous road conditions. A full-day virtual schedule is in place. Please check your email for detailed information. All after-school and evening activities are canceled. Stay warm and safe!!

❄️☃️This is a message from the Brandywine Heights Area School District. To help families prepare for tomorrow morning I wanted to send a message out this evening with an update on the status of school tomorrow. The School District will be operating under a two hour delay for tomorrow, Monday, January 19th. Based on the current snow coming down and freezing temperatures over night, a delay will allow time to clear roads and school grounds. We will evaluate conditions in the morning and any additional calls will be made by 8:00 am.

Please stay safe and warm this evening!

Reminder: Monday, January 19 is now a Snow Make-Up Day.

School will be in session ❄️

Santa's checked in, smiles all around, the IS/MS students are ready to enjoy their holiday break!

Nothing sweeter than former teachers stopping by the IS/MS with some holiday cheer and Christmas cookies! Our hearts (and cookie jars) are full!

Early Dismissal Tomorrow! Please plan ahead—dismissal will follow the adjusted schedule (please see ES for car pick-up/walker times). Thanks for your support and flexibility!

The “Fabulous Five”, a team of 5th grade students traveled to the BCIU and participated in the Keystone Competition. Their challenge was to create something that would make PA schools better. They created “Moptezuma”, which is a combination of a robotic vending machine and robotic cleaner. They wanted to improve lunch time efficiency and help the custodians clean up the cafeteria. The students did an excellent job!

BHASD will be operating under a 2-hour delay tomorrow morning due to icy road conditions from blowing snow and cold temperatures.

The Brandywine Heights Intermediate/Middle School Winter Concerts were a huge success! Our 5th and 6th graders opened the season with an energetic and heartfelt performance, showcasing their growing talent and teamwork. Later, the 7th and 8th graders took the stage a few days later with a polished, dynamic program that highlighted their musical skills and dedication. Both concerts brought festive cheer, proud smiles, and a wonderful celebration of our students’ hard work and creativity. ❄️🎶

The Brandywine Heights Area School District will be operating under a two hour delay. Road conditions, particularly in the higher elevations, have areas where snow has turned to ice and are slippery. A delay will allow additional time to ensure there are safe travel conditions for the opening of school.
