Thank you to all of our teachers at BMS. We have teachers who have been here for decades and some who just started in the last couple of years. We have guest teachers, like Ms. Polston, Ms. Oney, Mr. Kemble, Mr. Clark, Ms. Wright, Ms. Stewart among others who are dedicated Bruins who have retired and come back to help our students all the time. This past week was teacher appreciation week and we could not be more grateful for all of our Bruin Teachers. Thank you for being dedicated to students, for loving them, teaching them and caring about them always. You truly are amazing and we appreciate you more than you know.
Thank you to the Bullitt County Sheriff's Office and to BMS SRO Todd Harper for helping us guarantee a safe environment for BCPS students. This week we dealt with a social media threat, as noted previously the suspect has been charged to the full extent of the law. We have encouraged all students that if they “See something, Say something” to an adult, and they have done so. We are very proud of BMS students. We will continue to work to keep all students and staff safe in all aspects. We truly love our students and staff and will continue to strive to meet every challenge we face.

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!

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 began leaving their Chromebooks at school each day for the rest of the school year. 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. 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.
