Google Profile Picture: After speaking with our BMS Student Council President, we will be allowing our BMS students to change their Google profile picture during the month of January. Moving forward we will be allowing students to change their picture at the start of each school year. We understand that the picture you selected back in HMS may not represent who you are today. Students, if you choose to change your profile picture, we request that you select an image that is school appropriate, professional, and represents who you are as an individual. Please be mindful that your google profile picture can be seen by your BMS Teachers and BMS Administration. BMS Administration will reserve the right to change a picture that we deem not school appropriate. | ||||||||||||||||||
