 Dear Bernheim Community,

Thank you to everyone who came out to support the students in their learning! BMS students did a wonderful job creating a Carnival that supported local non profit organizations.  Together, with you, students were able to donate a little more than $700 to our local community! Thank you for supporting them in this work! They truly learned the importance of community and being a community contributor.


NEED EXTRA HELP???? 

Thursdays at BMS from 3:00-4:00 pm we have Academic Support.  We have already started and several have already stayed.  Please reach out to Ms. Chloe Dabrowski at chloe.dabrowski@bullitt.kyschools if you would like to make sure your student is on the list to stay!  We want to support your student any way we can.  


TRANSPORTATION CHANGES?? 

 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.

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 @henryclaytime  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.
