Hello parents and guardians, Welcome to the fourth quarter of our school year! These last nine weeks will be filled with testing, celebrations, performances, awards ceremonies, and finally the 8th grade celebration ceremony. Hang on for the ride! From a classroom perspective, so many of our students have made great strides in their learning this year and it will soon pay off as they gear up for FAST and EOC tests in May. If you wish to learn more about how we are meeting the needs of your students and of the school, I encourage you to join me at our next School Advisory Committee meeting on April 29th at 5:30pm. We meet at Bonita Middle School, Room 35. Likewise, we will have some opportunities for parents to be involved in our Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) next school year; we are always looking for members and will soon hold officer elections. I hope you will consider joining and taking a lead role in making sure our school continues on its successful path! I am always available by email or phone if you have any concerns or questions.

Principal's Message

Welcome to Bonita Springs Middle Center for the Arts! I am so honored to be the Principal of this amazing school. Several years ago, I started teaching in Lee County and I’m proud to say it is the only place I’ve ever wanted to work. Our district and school offer so many opportunities for students to learn and thrive. Our goal at BSMCA is to provide a school where students can excel in academics, athletics, and of course, the Arts. Our students receive Core instruction at the highest level, with rigorous engagement continually offered through AVID and Cambridge curriculums and strategies. Through our Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) system, Character Education, and progressive discipline plans, students are exposed to the value of personal responsibility and respect. We strongly encourage critical and creative thinking in every area and routinely celebrate the many successes and achievements of our students. Through our participation in Accelerated Reader, every student is encouraged to read daily in order to maintain and increase reading proficiency. At BSMCA, we want ALL students to participate in their interests and receive the support they need to prepare for the next level in their educational journey. Please feel free to reach out to a member of our staff if we can assist you in helping you or your student meet that goal.

In partnership,
Principal Layner
