BMS Mission Statement 

Bird Middle School continues to operate under the mission statement developed as part of the Walpole Public Schools Annual Operating Plan for Curriculum and Instruction:

We believe that every child has a right to an education to his/her maximum capacity regardless of age, ability, or educational need.

We further incorporate the beliefs espoused by the National Middle School Association in their publication This We Believe which includes:

We believe that the middle school is an educational response to the needs and characteristics of youngsters during transescence and, as such, deals with the full range of intellectual and developmental needs.

Young people going through the rapid growth and extensive maturation that occurs in early adolescence need an education program that is distinctively different from either the elementary or the secondary model.
