by Randy Schlueter

Welcome To BMS

Welcome to the Home Page for Beatrice Middle School. I am Randy Schlueter, Principal of Beatrice Middle School. This is my eighth year as Principal of the middle school, having served as the Assistant Principal for three years prior to that. The middle school consists of 520 students in grades 6 through 8. There are 42 certified staff members in eight teaching teams: two at each grade level, an exploratory team, and a special education team. The building also has 25 classified staff members who help to create the success of the school.

The teaching staff at Beatrice Middle School is a quality staff dedicated to the success of the students at Beatrice Middle School. The staff members are committed to meeting the needs of the students that they come into contact with on a daily basis. Staff members use a variety of teaching techniques to meet the needs of the varied learning styles of the students in the building. The middle school is an inclusionary school with all students taking part in the learning within the classroom. To meet those needs, the staff at the middle school differentiate the instruction and method of instruction to accommodate all learners.

Each year, Beatrice Middle School establishes goals, short and long term, that the administration and staff members will focus on during the school year. This year, the middle school is working on improvement of reading and character education. Each of the goals is driven by the Beatrice Public Schools Mission Statement.

Beatrice Middle School is proud to be a Character Counts! school Our school has been an active participant in the development of the Beatrice Public School Essential Behavior Skills program. The school district has made a commitment to improvement in character education of the students by developing K-12 program that teaches students social skills that help them to be successful in the school system and in their community. Each week the staff at the middle school focus on one skill and teach that skill during Mentor Period on Monday and then integrate the skill into their class during the week. By teaching and re-teaching and using the same language in all classrooms, students will develop a better understanding of the skill and be able to use the skill in appropriate situations.
