March 2-March 5: News Updates, Information and Student Celebrations!

Dear Bernheim Community, 

Thank you for a great week with students! Kids and Staffulty were really busy this week beyond the regular instruction going on this week, students participated in the KPREP Student Survey and KPREP Field Testing.  During the week of March 16th- March 20th students will take the spring CASE test which will determine placement in courses and provide data as to student specific needs.  We know students are working hard and these assessments are an important piece of data to help teachers identify each individual students next steps. 

We are continuing to disinfect everything everyday.  We know flu season can be rough and it is a challenge as illness runs through families.  Please make sure to reinforce the simple precautions of washing hands thoroughly, covering nose and mouth if one coughs or sneezes and if kiddos have fever please do keep them home.  We are doing everything we can to reduce the spread of illness.  

Thursday will be ROCK YOUR TEAM DAY. So encourage students to wear their favorite Sports team gear:
Cubs, Cowboys, Bulls, Mighty Ducks  (those were my favorites growing up)! Any of their favorite sport gear will count for House points on Thursday! Encourage students to participate! Friday is a Teacher Bullitt Day and there is no school for students!  

Thank you to STLP, Mr. McCamish and Ms. Amiott for BMS Sport Center and News!
