BMS NewsBytes: News, Updates and Celebrations 10/12/21-10/15/21

 Dear Bernheim Community,

We hope everyone is enjoying their fall break and are looking forward to the return to school on October 12th.   Before Fall Break we had our first Bruin Bash of the year and it was the highest participation we have had in years.  Students, keep working hard to keep your grades up and keep following the Bruin Way!  


We will have our Annual Title 1- Literacy Night: Be a Bruin Night on October 20th from 5:30-7:30pm.   Guardians/Parents can meet your students’ advisory teachers and then rotate through a few of their students’ classes. Students will be helping present a short lesson for their parents highlighting the great things they are doing in class. After you have visited classrooms we will be offering a Grab and Go Chick-fil-a supper.  Please complete the attached RSVP registration form so we can have enough Chick-fil-a for the evening.   


BMS CLASS HIGHLIGHTS

Please follow the link to the BMS Class Highlights. You will find teachers' websites linked along with a brief update of what is going on in class.  Please visit their websites and lesson plan links to see all that  is happening.  The number one way to stay on top of your student's
progress is through
Infinite Campus. We are here to support your student and family in any way we can, please feel free to reach out. 


COUNSELOR NEWS

SECOND QUARTER:

Students will get new schedules for the second quarter.  Please be checking infinite campus for grades and updates regularly.  


ADVISORY

Students' Advisory period is an important part of their day.  Students work through College and Career studies, Character Education and make connections with their mentor teachers. 

As always please email amy.bush@bullitt.kyschools.us with any questions.


ACADEMIC SUPPORT 

Students in need of extra help in any of their content areas may be assigned Academic Support.  (ESS)  Students may also be assigned if they are behind and need to catch up on work for a variety of reasons.  Monday and Wednesday from 3:00-4:30 Academic Support is available.  Contact the Academic Support Coordinator, Kimberly Newton, with questions or requests for your student to participate.


SOCIAL MEDIA

As much as we appreciate all that social media has to offer, we ask that you dive into the do's and don'ts of social media with your students. Social media can be used for good but most often, it isn't. Please tell the kids to stay away from destructive and disrespectful Tic Toc challenges-or any other social media platform that instructs humans to act poorly. We truly appreciate your support and help with this matter.


TRANSPORTATION

Due to COVID, again this year students are NOT allowed to ride home with other students.  If you have any questions please contact Mrs. Veatch.


ATTENDANCE

The start of the 2021-2022 school year has shown many absences.  If your student is absent, other than officially quarantined, call the school and let us know why your student is absent.  When your student returns to school, please be sure to send in either a parent note or a doctor’s note. 


If you have any questions regarding attendance, please contact Mrs. Veatch or Ms. Harrison at 869-4000.

BMS News Bytes is our weekly newsletter, favorite this blog and the school website. BMS Class Highlights includes each teacher's snapshot about what's going on in class. The school website has all forms, information, calendar updates and district information along with links to individual teacher webpages which are extremely useful to both students and parents. It is important that you log into Parent Portal and choose the option to receive email and texts from the school.  Not only can you view your students grades, attendance and other information it is also a great communication tool to keep you connected.  Lastly, please follow us on social media including Facebook and Remind. We also have @hentryclaytime  on Instagram to keep up with the antics of our school therapy dog. As you can see we want to make every effort to stay connected with families.  

Thank you again for providing us the opportunity to serve you and your students.
