Dear Bernheim Community,
Our BMS Staffulty is amazing. This week we celebrated Administrative Professionals Week for our wonderful office ladies. Ms. Tabby, Ms. Dillman, Ms. Vittatoe and Ms. Baker do such a great job taking care of students, staff and families. BMS would not be what it is without them!
PARENTS AND GUARDIANS YOU NEED TO COMPLETE ONLINE REGISTRATION FOR 23-24 SCHOOL YEAR. This must be done yearly. We only have 38% of families who have completed this, please complete the process as soon as possible.
It is that time of year. We need all families to complete the ONLINE REGISTRATION. BCPS asks all parents and guardians to understand that student schedules will not be released for the 23-24 school year if a student is missing a school physical, birth certificate, or does not have updated immunization certificates on file with BCPS schools. Please be certain all documents are on file and that your registration is processed ASAP. You may send those documents to school and have your student give them to Stephanie Dillman. Thank you in advance!
8th GRADE DANCE INFORMATION
Student Dress Code for the dance has been distributed and was sent home to parents with the behavior contracts for students. It is also in students' Grizzly 8th grade google classroom if your student needs to take another look at it. The dance is always so much fun, and we want this year's Grizzlies to have a great time.

Tickets Go On Sale May 1-4 in the Cafe During Lunch

BUS TRANSPORTATION
Due to transportation shortages we are still not allowing students to ride to a friend's house per the transportation office. We are sorry for this inconvenience. With a signed parent note students are still allowed to ride home with friends if the friend is a car rider.
TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK
BMS is celebrating our teachers this coming week (May 1-4). Please feel free to have your student write a note to their teacher(s) or parents can send in an email to thank them for working with their children this school year. The Jr. Beta Club members are bringing in desserts for the teachers on Tuesday of this week. If you would like to send in something any day, we would appreciate the token of appreciation. Our staffulty is dedicated to our students and we hope to let them know how much we love them this week.
TESTING SNACKS
KSA testing will begin on May 10th. Each advisory is hoping to have snacks for their students each day as a treat to start their mornings. If you are interested in sending in hard candies, fruit snacks, pretzels, pop tarts or other items, please let the advisory teachers know. We appreciate your support with this.
ATTENDANCE
Please contact Jennifer Vittitoe with attendance questions at jennifer.vittitoe@bullitt.kyschools.us or (502)869-4000. Any transportation changes need to be in the front office by 2:30 pm all late transportation notes must be sent to bmsiuser001@bullitt.kyschools.us
You must call in to speak with someone and a written note will be required.
PTSA
We Need You! Please reach out to Ms. Dillman and share with her your interest in being a PTSA parent for next school year! We love BMS families and we need you to help us make BMS the absolute best it can be for students. Ms. Dillman will be happy to help get you started!
Please join the BMS PTSA! Please contact Stephanie Dillman at (502) 869-4000 for any questions about volunteering at BMS.
COUNSELOR’S CORNER
Kentucky KSA testing will begin May 10th and last through May 15th at BMS. It is crucial that your student is at school, and ready to do their best. Starting May 4th students will leave their Chromebooks at school each day for the rest of the school year. Please verify that your students have their Chromebook and their charger. If they have broken or lost their charger they will need to purchase a new one. Those are $26.00, that money can be turned into Ms. Karla Elliott in the mornings. This will help us be sure that all students have a charged chromebook for testing. Lastly, please make every effort to schedule appointments around these dates.
As always please email amy.bush@bullitt.kyschools.us with any questions or counseling needs.

We do our best to keep you informed! BMS News Bytes is our weekly newsletter, favorite this blog and the school website. BMS Class Highlights includes each teacher's snapshot about what's going on in class. The school website has all forms, information, calendar updates and district information you might need. Individual teacher websites are extremely useful to both students and parents. It is important that you log into Parent Portal and choose the option to receive email and texts from the school. Not only can you view your students grades, attendance and other information it is also a great communication tool to keep you connected. Lastly, please follow us on social media including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. We also have @hentryclaytime on Instagram to keep up with the antics of our school therapy dog. As you can see we want to make every effort to stay connected with families.
