Dear Bernheim Community,
Thank you the wonderful support we have received throughout National Teacher Appreciation Week and all year long! This school community is one of the very best, we are so grateful for each and every student, parent and guardian! Thank you for making Bruin Nation the absolute best place to be! 8th Grade Promotion
We are excited to provide information regarding 8th Grade Promotion. Please do read the information carefully. Tickets are required as space is limited due to Covid 19 restrictions.
PROMOTION RSVP FORM MUST BE FILLED OUT BY MAY 14TH
PTSA is having a breakfast for our 8th grade students at 7:30 am June 2. We will also practice for promotion (which will be that evening) Please see information sent through IC for details.
First Come First Serve! Get yours now! There is a limited number available.
Hopefully we will be having Parent SBDM member elections as well.
If your child has an illness with any Covid-19 Symptoms please complete the student protocol form linked here. Please call the school and let Ms. Veatch know if your child is ill for any reason. 
Students do need to be here, 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. The school day begins at 8:00 am, please make sure students are up and going if they are in the BCA. Wednesday is the only Remote day for all students and they have class work ALL DAY. They are to be up and on their advisory zoom at 8:00 am. It is a school day, it counts!
Students' Advisory period is an important part of their day. Students work through College and Career studies and Character Education connections with their mentor teachers. We are striving to help all students grow in all areas and we are so proud of what they have accomplished even right through a pandemic!

"She did an outstanding job and placed First at the State Level in the Junior Division for Historical Papers. She has always been a student with excellent work ethic, respect, an inclusive spirit, and confidence in her work," Ms. Bewley noted. "She is a joy to teach and to know! We are so proud to have her represent Bernheim, Bullitt Co, and the State of Kentucky at the National level of this prestigious competition. Her research is very elaborate and detailed. We know she will continue to do amazing things!"
