Dear Bernheim Community,
Our Bears stepped up to the plate—literally—at Louisville Slugger Field! They had a blast, and our staffulty couldn’t have been prouder of how they represented us.
Meanwhile, our Grizzlies were busy bringing history to life! They traveled to the Bowman Valley Museum and Bullitt Central High School, where they wowed others with their talents and deep insight into the past and shared stories of resilience from across generations.
Way to go, Bruins!

GRIZZLIES 8TH GRADE PROMOTION
COUNSELOR’S CORNER
Students are currently finalizing their Individual Learning Plan (ILP) using a platform called SchooLinks. Throughout the year in Advisory, they’ve completed a variety of activities and assessments that explore their interests, learning styles, and potential post-secondary goals—whether that be the workforce, college, or trade school.
In middle school, students are still discovering who they are and what they’re passionate about, so it’s normal for these plans to change from year to year as their interests develop. That’s why students will revisit and update their ILP annually. In high school, they’ll begin to refine their plans with more focus and intention as they prepare for life after graduation.
Once your student publishes their ILP, you’ll receive a copy via email to review and sign. Your support helps us guide students in making meaningful and informed decisions about their futures.
Thank you for partnering with us in this important process!
If you have any questions or need counseling support, please feel free to email amy.bush@bullitt.kyschools.us.
