Dec 16-Dec 20: News, Updates and Celebrations

Dear Bernheim Community, 

Please know THIS WEEK is especially critical as we have district-wide testing for elementary and middle schools. It is extremely important that students are here for this assessment and that they take it very seriously.   This assessment indicates their opportunities now and in the future! PLEASE MAKE SURE STUDENTS BRING THEIR CHROMEBOOKS CHARGED! CASE IS COMPLETED ON-LINE WITH THEIR CHROMEBOOKS. 

Not only is next week CASE testing, it is also the week before Christmas Break and we do have some fun dress up days planned- we ask that you talk to your child and explain- you can be celebrating and working hard all in the same moment-- so even though we are encouraging school spirit and holiday spirit - we are asking that students work hard when they are supposed to work.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

BMS Band and Choir Concert was a success! Kids Warming up backstage were excited and a little nervous. I told them to "Break a Leg Gang"  Turns out most 11 year olds aren't familiar with that phrase! It means good luck in show business speak! They did a great job and we were very proud of all of our music students!
