Please contact us and let us know if you would like your student to be part of the Math Club. Feel free to call the school at 502-869-4000 if you have any questions regarding Academic Support in general or Math Club.
ATTENDANCE
The flu and a stomach virus seem to be running through BMS. Please remind your students about simple hand washing, covering their mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, and please don’t eat or drink after each other. Attendance the last two weeks has been pretty awful and we have been sending students home with fevers and other symptoms. We appreciate your help and support. We sure want to keep all the Bruins healthy.
Please contact Jennifer Vittitoe with attendance questions at jennifer.vittitoe@bullitt.kyschools.us or (502)869-4000. Any transportation changes need to be in the front office by 2:30 pm all late transportation notes must be sent to bmsiuser001@bullitt.kyschools.us
You must call in to speak with someone and a written note will be required.

BMS ATHLETICS
Boys Basketball: The boys’ basketball team had a strong week of games at home. Both the 7th and 8th grade teams won all 3 games this week and the 6th grade team is starting to show some big improvement. Great job boys. The boys have another game this coming Monday at home against Eastside before heading into the Thanksgiving Break. Be sure to come out and support the boys Monday evening.
Which House is Winning This week? BMS has a house system that is based on students' year of graduation. Each house can earn points based on areas that are linked to the Bruin Way. Points are earned by the percentage of the house on the honor roll, free from referrals, attendance, school spirit, showing responsibility for yourself and others, participation in community service, random acts of kindness, and more!
