FOOTBALL GAME EXPECTATIONS
Junior high students attending the football games must be accompanied by an adult and must stay seated with that adult during the game. No students are allowed under the bleachers, or to congregate at the concession stand. Purchases can be made, but students must return to their seat to eat.
All school rules apply while you are at the game. Students who fail to follow these rules will be sent home, and may be banned from future football games.
FIELD TRIPS
Attention 6th and 7th Graders,
Please check your email to give your shirt size for our upcoming field trips for the 7th grade to the Toledo Walleye Career Day and the 6th grade to the University of Toledo Educational Day. Please see your email regarding more information on the field trips.
8th grade will be going to the Northwest Ohio Junior Achievement Career Day in May.
8th HOUR
8th Hour has started in room 214. 8th hour is an opportunity to get work done and get assistance from some teachers. 8th Hour is three days a week (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursdays) from 2:30PM to 3:30PM. Students can attend 1, 2, or all 3 days. Attendance is kept in the room. Families MUST PROVIDE THEIR OWN RIDE HOME AT 3:30.
We are working on supplying transportation and will let families know when that is available.
If you are having a student make up some assessment, please deliver directly to Amanda Mitchell.
Here is a link to the student interest form.

✔ CLUBS
RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS CLUB
Random Acts of Kindness will be starting Wednesday, November 2nd, in Room #25. Consider joining us if you have some creative and fun ideas on how to spread some kindness around our school and community! “RAK” Club will meet every other Wednesday until 3:30PM, so be sure you have a ride home. See flyers around the school for dates and email or see Ms. O’Neill in the counseling office if you have any questions.
GAME CLUB
Think about the most awesome thing that you have ever done! Now imagine yourself at Game Club, and I am sure that those two events were very similar. Game Club kicks off this week in the media center. You can come by yourself and meet new people or you can bring a friend as well! It is a relaxed environment to make new friends and try out some new games and have fun with the classics too, there are so many options to choose from. A slight correction to the flier game club this week will not be on Thursday, like the posters say, as that is the back to school dance. Instead we will be meeting on Wednesday from 2:30-4. I can’t wait to see you there.

CHROMEBOOKS
Attention Students:
Do not leave your chromebook unattended outside classrooms. You are responsible for the care of the chromebook that is issued to you and insurance will not cover negligence.

Meal Magic
has changed the sites for our online food service account access. Instead of using the SendMoneyTo School.com or lunchapp.com links, you will now be using Meal Magic’s Family Portal: https://bedfordps.familyportal.cloud/
If you use the old links, it will give you a link to get to the right place and then you would have to search for Bedford.
You will need to create the account on the new site:
1. Click the Register button to setup an account.
2. For the Username, enter the email address you used for SendMoneyToSchool.com.
3. Accept the Terms Of Use and Privacy Policy.
4. Check your email for an activation link and click it.
5. Follow the instructions to complete setup.
Once that is done, all the account balances should have transferred over.
There is a $2.95 service fee assessed at increments of $100. Cash and checks are still accepted at registers with no additional fees.
Families can also use the family portal to fill out a free and reduced school meal application online since the universal free school meals program has ended. Or you can print the application using this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u1qdaefXY1ivcefOAQlXvD8SN5hqTDLY/view?usp=sharing
This information is also on the Food Service web page.
