PTSA will be holding our parent SBDM elections between April 30th and May 3rd.  Information will be posted on the PTSA Facebook page as well as hard copies will be available in the front office with Ms. Veatch.  

PTSA is holding elections for the PTSA officers, please see the PTSA website and look for more information from them regarding this process. 

BMS wouldn't be the success it is without our strong parent base.  Thank you all for all you do! 

There's an App for That!
Parents/Guardians and Students! Keep informed! Download the BCPS App to receive breaking news and important notifications. Be sure to change the settings to receive information from your school(s).



CHROMEBOOK COLLECTION /May 14-May 18
Chromebook collection will begin May 14 and be completed for most students by May 18.  The program is a yearly lease and students will be reissued the Chromebooks at the start of next year when they complete their lease agreement for next school year.  We hope to make this process a smooth and easy process for students.  If you still have Chromebook repair fees out, please contact Ms. Ojala (toni.ojala@bullitt.kyschools.us) for details, information and questions.   

Thank you for making our first year of one-to-one technology a great year.  We learned quite a bit about how to make things run as smooth as possible for students. 

We look forward to another great year next year.
