Attention Parents of Scholar Drivers...
We are experiencing an influx of scholars reporting late and recording incorrect information on the designated/check-in check-out forms. These are legal documents and should reflect the correct demographic information of the scholar listed on the form. Scholars who are not able to show their IDs, follow rules for reporting to school timely, and falsifying documents will have their driving privileges suspended. Driving to school is indeed a privilege and must be addressed as such. Scholars who have been identified as falsifying such information are currently being suspended from driving.
Thank you for supporting your scholar in following the procedures and policies of Montgomery Public Schools and Booker T. Washington Magnet High School.
Regards,
Dr. Ruffin
We will conduct a uniform, Yondr, and ID check today during class. Please ensure your scholar is in full compliance. Please be sure to make payments for the replacements of Yondrs and ID badges by visiting MySchoolBucks.
Thank you for your support of "Excellence in All Things".
Sincerely,
Dr. Ruffin
We hope that everyone had a safe and enjoyable weekend.
We are well into the 2025-2026 academic year and we are experiencing concerns with may scholars reporting out of uniform, without IDs, carrying inappropriate bags, and without YONDR pouches. In following the MPS Student Conduct Manual and the BTW Handbook, willful defiance is coded as a Class B offense and will be addressed as such. We are asking our BTW parents to support their scholars in following the district and school policies and procedures. Should your scholar need their ID or YONDR replaced, please visit MySchoolBucks.
It is also extremely important that your scholar is in homeroom by 7:40 A.M. daily. Please ensure scholars that drive are leaving home in enough time to arrive at school on time and safely.
We are very committed to ensuring our scholars remain safe at all times. Your support of the expectations and rules of Montgomery Public Schools and Booker T. Washington are appreciated.
Have a great day,
Dr. Ruffin
Greetings BTW Families,
We are moving into Week 3 of the second quarter, which means, Mid-term exams are coming soon. Please see the mid-term schedule below:
December 11, 2025 through December 18, 2025.
We anticipate posting final grades by the 19th.
Parents, please encourage your scholar to submit their work on time. Many of our current failures are due to non-compliance with the GPR as it relates to submitting work timely. We also strongly encourage parents and scholars to monitor grades in PowerSchool weekly.
Scholars, your performance on the mid-term exams matter. Let's stay ahead and stay engaged.
Sincerely,
Dr. Ruffin
