Dear Bernheim Community,
Here we go! First day of in person learning take two! It is time for the Bears and Grizzlies to join us in the HOUSE! We are so excited and we can hardly wait! If you are an URSA Major Student, you will remain learning virtually as part of the Bullitt Cloud Academy. Only the In person Cubs, Bears and Grizzlies will be coming to school on Tuesday October 20th.
Bus stop information with times are linked here on News Bytes at the top and are on the district website. Lunch will be provided for your student and the supply list has been reduced greatly. (see below) The weather is becoming very fall like, so make sure to send your student with a sweatshirt or hoodie as we will be taking students outside for a mask break. (weather permitting) We can't begin to tell you how thrilled we are to get to see your children again! We have all traveled through this historic time together and school will look different.
No matter how different school looks we are thrilled to be able to come back! So that we can stay open, please emphasize for students how important it is to wear their masks and wear them properly. If your student is ill or has a fever, please keep them home. They must be fever free for 72 hours before returning to school. If they have Covid-19, the medical profession and health departments will give guidance to individuals. Please see the BMS Healthy @ School and the BCPS Healthy @ School documents for all the details and precautions we are taking to keep everyone safe.
We have provided day one information to IN Person Learning students through Advisory Classes and Morning Announcements.
NEW MORNING CAR RIDER PROCEDURES:
One big change is how the morning Car Rider line will look. Please see the diagram and click the link below to watch the video.
There are several other changed procedures as well- Please check out the videos below!
SUPPLY LIST FOR IN PERSON LEARNING
Below is the In Person Learning Supply list, we have reduced it greatly! For the first day of school you really only need a MASK, water bottle (already filled with water), a notebook, a couple of pencils, your Chromebook, earbuds and charger. We will have small backpacks, lanyards, badges and hand sanitizer for you as well as lunch and breakfast. As the week progresses you will need the rest of the supplies listed. If you need anything at all please let us know and we will support your student in any way we can!
BULLITT CLOUD ACADEMY
IF YOU ARE A URSA MAJOR- meaning you are a Bullitt Cloud Academy student, you will remain on the same schedule you have been on with one difference, Fridays your Power Path schedule will be adjusted! Look for more information coming from your BCA teachers!! Again, BCA students you will remain in the virtual setting! Fridays you will have an alternate schedule but when we are talking about coming in person, that does not apply to you all. Keep "Clouding" On!
