Welcome ~ to our school web page for parents of incoming 5th graders to BRMS.

We hope that all the information and links posted below will assist you and your child as you transition from the elementary school to the exciting world of the middle schooler  - at an exciting school!

All families that reside in the Pittsford School District will receive a letter from the BRMS Princiapl Mr. Pero and the PTSA. This letter outlines the process for transition to BRMS.
