Bull Run Middle School hosted its annual blood drive in association
with the American Red Cross on Wednesday, February 4th. A heartfelt thank you to our donors who took the chance to make a big difference in the lives of people right here in Northern Virginia. This
year we surpassed our goal and set a new record with 24 units donated!
All SIGNET students were given the
option to participate in the annual
Stock Market Game. It begins the
first week of February and runs
through the first week of May. This
year Bull Run SIGNET 8th graders
have been invited to participate in the
Capitol Hill Challenge for the first time.
This concurrent competition is limited to
a few schools in each Congressional
District. Good luck teams!
February is Black history month!
Every February, America and Virginia observe Black History
Month, celebrating and honoring the many achievements and
contributions made by African Americans to the economic, cultural, and political development of America. Our school featured the
band Souled Out on Friday, Feb. 13th. They presented a fantastic Black History overview to music for each grade level. The concert/lecture combines one of the Mid Atlantic’s most popular
bands, playing popular music from each generation from the
1950s to today against the historical and cultural backdrop of
America from the 1950s to the present. Colorful and powerful visuals are intertwined with historical
facts, accompanied by performance of the music.
In addition, throughout the month, our staff portrayed
several historical perspectives in honor of Black History Month during our morning announcements. Our
teachers presented lessons in the classroom that
provided additional information for students that highlighted the historical events
in a way that is relevant for
today and the future.

This year’s Robotics Club has 20 members from 6th-8th grade. They
have been working together since early October to compete in the
VEX Skyrise tournaments with new club sponsor, Danielle Robinson.
Some of the students have had exposure to robotics in elementary
school or summer camps, but for most, this year is the first time they
have been involved with VEX .
The club meets twice a week (Tu/Thur) and have had several fun build days on Saturdays. Each
of the four teams has a unique design of their own engineering. It’s impressive to see how they approach the game and overcome problems along the way and how far they have progressed.
Two of our teams did well in a competition on December 7th though snow delays have forced the
rescheduling of some of the competitions.
The Bull Run Middle School Robotic Eagles team 1489D participated in the Virginia Commonwealth competition on February 27 in Richmond. The team qualified for State competition by being
selected for the Design Award during regional competition. Team members are Prisha Nandakumar, Weesam Semaan, Lindsay Brandt and Ishan Lamba.

Recently, Bull Run Middle School took part in a re-designation process to
continue our recognition as a National School to Watch. This redesignation process included an updated application, analysis of our
school programs, and a site visit from members of the Schools to Watch
Forum. Please join the school in celebrating the success of being reawarded this honor of our school community, along with being recognized
with the top 30 schools in the state of Virginia and about 400 across the
country. This is a great achievement. Bull Run Middle School will be recognized at the National Schools to Watch Conference in Arlington, Virginia later this school year.
The National Forum to accelerate middle schools launched the Schools to Watch initiative in 1999
to recognize high performing middle schools. Schools are recognized for excelling in academic excellence, showing developmental responsiveness to middle school students, demonstrating social
equity and providing strong organizational supports. Bull Run Middle School has shown evidence
of meeting the criteria in all of the areas. In their final report, Bull Run Middle School was recognized for “doing an outstanding job providing students with a high-quality education. The school climate is welcoming to students, parents, teachers, and visitors. It is obvious that student learning
and safety are priorities. Whether it is the smallest or biggest of change, decisions are made to
benefit the children. The SOAR Program is a model for all middle schools to follow.”

Bull Run Middle School will be making changes
to our school’s Master Bell Schedule for the
2015-2016 school year. Since September, Mr.
Phythian has been working with our teachers
and the parents on the school’s Principal’s Advisory Council to better align our current schedule
with a schedule that provides equal instructional
time for all of the core academic subjects, while
meeting the minimum requirement of 140 instructional hours as required by the Virginia
Standards of Quality. The schedule that we currently have in place is a daily Four Block Schedule with a double dose (time) of Language Arts
and Math. Next year, we will be implementing a
daily schedule that reflects Four Equal Core Periods every day.
The Four Equal Core Period Schedule will consist for four 62 minutes daily blocks of instruction for all four content areas of instruction
(English, Math, Science, and Social Studies) for
students in grades 6 and 7. Students in the 8th
grade with have Five Equal Core Periods of instruction that equal 55 minutes daily. The additional instructional period includes a daily period
of Spanish/French for students enrolled in Extended Language Arts. Students who are enrolled in a Traditional Language Arts class will
be enrolled in an additional Reading class or an
Introduction to World Languages class (NonHigh School Credit Class). Our related arts and
physical education classes for all grades will
remain the same length of time for all classes.
The Four Equal Core Period schedule will provide your child with a consistent daily schedule
that allows for greater flexibility for your child’s
teachers to provide a balanced and interdisciplinary approach to their teaching and for student
learning. Currently, one of our 6th grade teams,
Team Endeavor, has been following this daily
schedule for the current school year, and it has
been a huge success. Please visit the Bull Run
Middle School website under the Advisory
Council tab to view a “Draft” of the 2015-2016
Bell Schedule.
Congratulations to Sarah Jagels for winning the "If I Were Mayor" Essay Contest
for the Town of Haymarket. The contest
was open to all Virginia Students enrolled
in the 7th grade during the school year.
The Bull Run Middle School 7th grade
Language Arts and Social Studies teachers worked together to promote and support students in this important crosscurricular activity. Sarah was recently recognized by Haymarket Mayor, David M.
Leake, and Social Studies teacher, Mr.
Craig Hooper, for her outstanding accomplishment.

Microsoft Office 365
Microsoft Office 365 is a cloud-based communication and collaboration tool, hosted by Microsoft and managed by Prince William County Schools (PWCS). Office 365 enables PWCS students (grades 3-12) to email,
store files, and collaborate on documents, spreadsheets, and presentations in real time from school or at
home, all within a secure online environment.
One of the components of the Office 365 account is an email account for each student. These email accounts are able to send email within and outside of PWCS. There is no “Parent View” of the email or the
Office 365 account. Parents are encouraged to explore Office 365 with their child by logging in together.
Parents can have their child log in to his/her PWCS Office 365 account at home and show you his/her email
inbox and sent items.
All 7th and 8th grade students have activated their Microsoft Office 365 accounts, and 6th graders will be activating their accounts in the next month. Once activated, students will have access to email as well as online
versions of MS Word, MS Excel, MS PowerPoint, and OneNote, all of which can be utilized at school or at
home. In addition, the Office 365 account permits downloading and use of the entire Office 365 suite (Word,
Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Publisher, Lync, Outlook, and Access) on up to five compatible PCs or Macs at
no charge. It includes free automatic updates, and is good for as long as the student is enrolled in Prince
William County Public Schools. For instructions on how to download Office 2013, please see below:
Installing Office 2013
Go to the Bull Run Middle School website (http://bullrun-ms.schoolfusion.us/) to access the Office 365 Login.

Library News
The Library is going full tilt with many activities, lessons and programs. Despite having missed many
days due to snow & experiencing short days with delays, the library has been a center of energy!
Battle of the Books – Club members have been hard at work preparing for the Open Competition
that was held Feb. 28th. The club members had a great time while developing their skills as a team
and placed 19th & 32nd out of the multi-county middle school competition. Way to represent BRMS!
Beall’s Best YA Lit – Students have continued to enjoy meeting during lunch to discuss books specifically picked out by Mrs. Beall. Students share lunch while playing games centered on answering
questions about the books they read.
War of the Genres – The Genre Wars has continued with SCIENCE FICTION emerging as our latest victor! 24 lucky winners selected their prizes for January. Which genre will be most popular for
February?
Library Lunch bunch – In January, we were excited to provide winter treats & our “Winter Whiteout themed games during all the lunch periods. Students can sign up the week before.
Groovy Genre Groupies – Students will met in February to discuss their favorite ROMANCE books.
Students enjoyed a Valentine treat & had their photo taken for our bulletin board. Sign up in the library and come to the next session! March’s group will focus on the SPORTS genre.
Virginia Readers Choice – Students continue to read the VRC books available on display in the
front of the library. Be sure to read at least 4 by March so you can participate in the pizza party and
voting for your favorite book!
VIRGINIA READERS' CHOICE (VRC)
What is the VRC? This state program was developed to encourage young readers to
become better acquainted with contemporary books with outstanding literary appeal, to broaden students’ awareness of literature as a life-long pleasure, to encourage reading aloud in classrooms as a
means of introducing reading for pleasure, and to honor favorite books and their authors. Each year
a list of books is chosen by a state committee and students vote on their favorite—BRMS VRC
members voted for The False Prince by Jennifer Nielsen as their top book at their last meeting for
the 2013-14 school year.
Overdue Fines
Please ensure your student returns all library books by their due date or within the two week period
of check out. Fines of .10 per day will be assessed for books overdue. Lost book fees and late fines
may be paid with exact change or check only. Overdue notices are given weekly in advisory classrooms. Thank you!

The staff and students of Bull Run Middle School were pleased to recognize
our professional school counselors during the first week of February, in celebration of National School Counseling Week. The week highlights the tremendous impact school counselors have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career. Our school counselors work with all students to remove barriers to learning by addressing academic concerns, personal/social skills, and career
awareness for success at the middle school level.
Interim report cards will be going home with students on March 12th. Parent Teacher
Conferences are scheduled through your child’s advisory teacher, if you desire one.
The counselors from Battlefield and Stonewall Jackson High Schools were at Bull Run to assist
in scheduling our eighth graders for their high school courses. Our counselors worked with the
high schools so that your child was appropriately scheduled.
A panel of ninth grade students visited to talk with our eighth graders about high school. They
answered questions from the students and discussed high school activities, programs, clubs and
athletics.
In addition to contributing to the high school course selection process, our Counselors have
worked with all grade levels on Suicide Prevention, Sexual Harassment.
Parents whose students are currently at Bull Run due to a transfer request must make that request in writing every year. Please make your written request to Mr. Phythian by April 1st so that
he has a chance to review it before sending the request to the central office. Please state your
reasons for the request on the form that is available in the Counseling Office.

Food Services News
Focus on “Whole” Grains
School meals include a variety of healthy foods. Grains are a part of
every school meal. Health experts advise everyone that grains are a
healthy necessity in our diet and that it is important to eat at least half
our grains as “whole grains.” Approximately 95% of all grains served
at breakfast and lunch in PWCS are whole grains.
A grain kernel or seed contains three edible parts, the bran, the germ
and the endosperm. Whole grains include all three parts of the kernel.
Refining normally removes the bran and germ, leaving only the endosperm. Without the bran and
germ, about 25% of a grain’s protein is lost, along with at least seventeen key nutrients. While processors add back some vitamins and minerals to enrich refined grains, whole grains are healthier
providing more protein, fiber and other nutrients. Consumption of whole grains has been shown to
lower the risk of obesity, heart disease, stroke, cancer and diabetes. This is an eating habit we
should all work to develop.

Information from Prince William County Schools
Right to Special Programs/ Services
The Prince William County Public Schools Division is required to inform the community of a student’s right to a free, appropriate public education and the availability of programs and services, including a special education. The Individuals
with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (Section 504) are federal
laws that give the School Division certain responsibilities with respect to providing such educational programs to students with disabilities. Under the IDEA and Section 504, the School Division has the responsibility to actively and continuously identify, locate and evaluate those children, infant to age 21, living in Prince William County who may be in need
of special education and/or related services, or adaptation or accommodations to regular education services. These laws
also require the School Division to:

Refer for possible evaluation any student of school age living in the School Division who a staff member suspects
may be disabled.

Provide appropriate educational and school-related opportunities to students with disabilities in an inclusive setting
to the maximum extent appropriate.

Provide notice of the availability of services and types and location of services to nearby private schools, pediatricians, and the Health Department.

Provide parents/guardians of students with disabilities with notice of their rights annually, and prior to their student’s
evaluation and placement, or any significant change in their student’s placement.

Develop and implement procedural safeguards with respect to actions regarding the identification, evaluation, and
placement of students with disabilities.

Provide written notice of the School Division’s procedural safeguards to parents or guardians.
If you suspect that your student may have a disability affecting your student’s development or academic performance, or
may have a mental or physical impairment that substantially limits a major life activity, please contact the Director of
Special Education at 703-791-7287 for further information
