Dear Bernheim Community,

Midterms are right around the corner, students are doing great work and the school year is in full swing.  Picture Day Monday. Please tell your students to bring their smiles. 

BEGINNING OF THE YEAR FORMS AND FEES

  • PLEASE GET THAT DONE ASAP SO YOUR STUDENTS INTERNET ACCESS AND CHROMEBOOK REMAIN ACTIVE

  • CHROMEBOOKS WILL BE LOCKED AND TURNED OFF IF FEES AND FORMS ARE NOT TURNED IN AND TAKEN CARE OF.

You can pay these fees online at Bullitt Schools Cash Online, or send them with your student to be given to their advisory teacher. Our bookkeeper will collect fees daily from classrooms.

To ensure smooth transportation arrangements, please contact the school by 2:30 pm if you need to make any changes. Here's how to update your student's transportation:

  • Call the school before 2:30 pm.

  • Send a transportation change note to Ms. Jennifer Vittitoe at jennifer.vittitoe@bullitt.kyschools.us.

Be sure to speak with someone at the school and provide the written note. Please note: Due to overcrowding, students typically cannot ride home with friends.
