Dear Bernheim Community,
The Bruins have been working hard this week. In science class they are designing devices to slow down the transfer of thermal energy, in Math class they are using ratios and proportions to develop a plan for a food truck and in Social Studies class they are creating museum displays to help others learn about the connections between Mesopotamia and innovation. There is a lot of creating and thinking happening at BMS. We are so proud of our Bruins!
SPIRIT DAY
Tuesday is Halloween, we are allowing students to have a Spirit Day. However, the guidelines are pretty tight. It is a NOT SO SCARY HALLOWEEN dress up day. Think Disney, zoo animals, and happy characters from books and stories. Must be within the dress code unless otherwise specified above.
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.

STUDENTS OF THE WEEK
Keep Being Amazing Bruin Nation!!!
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.
