May 7- May 11 News, Information and Celebrations


Dear BMS Community,

We hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! As always we are extremely proud of BMS students.  Their Midterms went home with them on THURSDAY. Please ask to see it, if for some reason they lost it between school and home, just log into Infinite Campus and you should see the same information. 

Spring MAP testing is complete and we are on the home stretch! KPREP is May 21, 23,24 & 25, please help make sure your student is in attendance on those days.  

We had our last school wide Bruin Bash on Thursday, students had a fantastic time! We are so happy to celebrate students who continue to show the Bruin Way.  There is at least one more House Level Bash to be had this year- it is still a tight competition- that could go to anyone! We are also going to have our end of the year Renaissance Rally, which is yet another student celebration.  BMS loves to highlight the great things students do toward their own success! 

We still have a lot of hard work to do this year, and we are going to have some great celebrations!  Please keep reading for more information!

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.
