8/28/23-9/1/23 BMS NEWSBYTES: News, Information, and Celebrations!

 Dear Bernheim Community,

It’s been an awesome week here in Bruin Nation! Students have really gotten

into the swing of learning and our classrooms are buzzing with great thinking and discourse. Our career class students had guest speakers this week, students from the Bullitt Central Agriculture pathway came to discuss careers in agriculture. Science students are completing their first labs of the school year while our social studies students are diving into primary sources and making sense of the Ancient World. In math our learners are engaged in productive collaboration to solve real world math problems and discussing their process for solving equations. 

TRANSPORTATION

YOU MUST call the school no later than  2:30 pm! The cut off time is crucial to help make sure your students are given the information prior to dismissal.  If you need to make a change to transportation during the day, call the school prior to 2:30 pm and then send in a transportation change note to Ms Jennifer Vittitoe jennifer.vittitoe@bullitt.kyschools.us You must call in to speak with someone and a written note will be required.  

Due to overcrowding on some bus routes students will not be permitted to ride home with friends as a rule. 

Bus Riders and CAR Riders-

Please make sure you have a Car Rider Tag in your dash while picking up your student. We gave one (or more)  to each student so that as we have bus outages parents will still have a “tag” to pick up their student.  If the tag is not displayed, BMS staff  may be asking to see the ID of the person picking up the student.   Tags not being displayed will surely slow the car rider line.  Please contact the school if you will need an additional car rider tag.  

BMS Community Service Project

Beginning Monday, the 28th, we will begin collecting items for the Animal Shelter in Honor of our Therapy Dog, Henry Clay’s 5th Birthday. Students will turn the items into their Advisory Teacher each morning. Though students are doing this work simply to be kind, there will be a pizza party for the winning Advisory Crew! Please help support our community by supporting the Bullitt County Animal Shelter through this project.

PTSA

Please join the BMS PTSA! They are such a huge support to students, staff and the community!

PTSA Spirit Wear Sales!

COUNSELOR’S CORNER
