8th Grade Celebration
We are excited to host the 8th grade celebration on Wednesday, May 22th from 3:00 - 4:30 pm at Bemis Junior High School.To make this event a memorable one, we kindly request your support in the form of food donations or volunteering to serve food and refreshments during the event.If you are donating food, we would like to emphasize that due to the increasing number of allergies among our students, we are striving to create a safe environment for everyone. Therefore, we kindly ask that all food donations be nut-free. This will ensure that all students can enjoy the celebration without any concerns about potential allergies. Food donations can be dropped off in the main office throughout the week.We are also seeking up to ten parent volunteers to assist with the event. In order to volunteer we must have a completed and approved volunteer form on file. This form needs to be completed by Monday, May 20, and turned into the main office. If volunteering, parents must sign in the main office upon arrival.Thank you for your support this school year.*Eighth grade students who are on the No-Go list for attendance and class citizenship are not permitted to attend this event.Click

At Bemis Junior High School we are taking positive steps to help your child by offering one hour after school student tutoring sessions three days per week in our Media Center. This program will be facilitated by Bemis Junior High School teachers, along with tutoring by current Henry Ford II High School National Honor Society members. Beginning next Monday, October 23, 2023, two Bemis Junior High School teachers will supervise and support students on Mondays and Tuesdays. Each Wednesday, we will have a teacher supervisor and current Henry Ford II High School National Honor Society members. This is an optional drop-in program, students do not have to attend each session, they do not have to attend every week.
If your child attends any or all tutoring sessions, they will be expected to bring all necessary materials and books to the Media Center by 3:05 p.m. and remain until 4:05 p.m. Parents need to arrange to pick up their child by 4:10 p.m. If you would like your child to participate in this program, please complete the attached form and return it to the counseling office prior to your child’s first date of attendance.
If you have any questions regarding this program, please contact Mrs. Dolland-Head at: diana.dolland-head@uticak12.org.
