Dear Bernheim Community,
We are so happy to have students in the building and it seems like they are glad to be back too! We have been having some lunchtime fun this week with games, celebrations and the odd Schoolhouse Rock! The students are doing a fantastic job and we are so thrilled to have them back in the Bruin Den!
Please remind your student that on their at home learning days they need to log in and complete their assignments. Each teacher has Help Desk time and is available via email or GoGuardian. So many students are doing a fantastic job, there are others who really need to step it up. Please be checking their Infinite Campus grades regularly.
CASE ASSESSMENT THIS WEEK! DO YOUR BEST! All students will be taking the CASE Assessment this week, it is very important that we are able to determine students current academic progress so that we can meet their individual needs. Awesome Students (A-day) and BCA students will complete the assessment on Monday and Tuesday. Brilliant Students (B-day) will complete the assessment on Thursday and Friday. Please make sure they have their Chromebook Charged and are well rested!
Report Cards for the second quarter are already posted in IC and went home with Awesome (A-day) Students on Tuesday and Brilliant (B-day) Students on Friday. BCA students' report cards are available through Infinite Campus, we will mail them home as well next week, but they are currently available for viewing.
Virtual Learning Snow Days. Students who are supposed to be in person will log in to their regularly scheduled classes with their teachers according to their Hybrid Schedule. For example, last Thursday was a B-Day, so B-day students should have logged into their zoom class with the teachers they would have seen in person and they should have followed their regular in person schedule. This way they won't fall behind and teachers can work with them directly. Each teacher will post the zoom link in their google classroom for the day. Our Bears and Grizzlies did a great job of showing up! If it is your regularly scheduled @Home Learning day then you follow the @home learning lessons teachers have posted for you. For Example, A-day students last Thursday had @home learning assignments posted the same as they wound have if there had been no snow. BCA students schedule won't be impacted due to weather. Hopefully there won't be any more Virtual Learning Snow Days, but if there is everyone knows the procedure now.
Next Weeks Schedule
HYBRID SCHEDULE HELP DESK
ATTENDANCE:
Students do need to be here on the days the are scheduled for, if they are not here it is an absence. Students need to be in their classroom by 8:00 am, or they are considered tardy. This is the same as it has been in years past. Students must be on their chromebooks doing their school work on the days they are at home as well. The school day begins at 8:00 am, please make sure students are up and going even if they are in the BCA or on their @ home days.
BCPS Calendar
Below is the most recent calendar from BCPS. You will notice this only takes us through the end of the THIRD nine weeks. If we have learned anything from living through a pandemic it is that things change.
Please see The Middle Years Newsletter attached at the top of this site. There are many things that are unique to middle schools students and this publication provides help and support for parents as we wander through the wonder years! Check it out and let us know what you think about it! As always please email amy.bush@bullitt.kyschools.us with any questions or counseling needs.
