Dear Bernheim Community,
House Day is coming up! Please be sure to have signed and returned the field trip form by Monday. The field trip is 9/29/23. All students are eligible to participate in HOUSE day and we want them there. This is an educational experience as students will be problem solving and creating ways to serve our local community. Students will go with their advisory to Camp Crooked Creek for part of the day on Friday 9/29 and work through problem solving, team building learning experiences while enjoying a beautiful fall day out in nature. They will then come back to school and create a plan to serve our local community while using the BCPS Graduate Profile Competencies. We are excited about this new learning opportunity for your students. The field trip cost is $5. In the event a family can’t pay the $5, please just make sure the form is signed and turned in. During the day each House will have a mini House Celebration complete with Kona Ice courtesy Calhoun Construction. We hope to have students here and ready to grow!
MONDAY MATH ASSESSMENT
Educational Leadership Solutions: Pathway to Proficiency (ELS) Assessment will be Monday 9-25-23. Students will be assessed three times throughout the year and we are looking to see growth in each student from the fall to the spring. This year's first math assessment will be September 25th.
TRANSPORTATION CHANGES??
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.
