12 5 22- 12 9 22 | BMS NewsBytes: News, Updates and Student Celebrations!

 Dear Bernheim Community,


Students will be taking their crucial Predictive Assessments Monday and Tuesday in Reading and Math respectively. This assessment indicates where students are on mastering grade level standards.  These tests are used to determine placement in various classes as well as determine eligibility for students in programs like ROC, BAMS, ATC and other opportunities.  Please make sure your student is well rested, at school, has their chromebook and charger and is ready to do their best! We look forward to seeing how much students have grown! 


STUDENT LED-COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECT


DOES YOUR STUDENT NEED HELP?

ACADEMIC SUPPORT (after school ESS) Monday and Thursday from 3:00-4:30.  Amanda Korby is coordinating the program for us this year.  Please reach out to her at amanda.korby@bullitt.kyschools to request your student be signed up.  We are going to support students with general help  for all classes and will have a MATH Club after school as well.

ATTENDANCE 

BMS attendance has been simply terrible.  Please remind students to wish hands, cover their nose and mouth when they cough or sneeze and to keep their hands to themselves.   We appreciate your help and support. We sure want to keep all the Bruins healthy.

BMS ATHLETICS

The boys’ basketball team had a strong week of games at home.  Both the 7th and 8th grade teams won both games against Bullitt Lick and Zoneton, while the 6th grade went 1-1 with a big win against Zoneton.  Great job boys.


The boys and cheerleaders also celebrated 8th grade night this week.  It’s been a great 3 years that is coming to an end fast.  Good luck to the boys as they begin their postseason tournament this week. 


Volleyball is also beginning.  The girls had their first open gym this past week and have two more this week.  See the information below.  If you plan on staying, please have an up to date KHSAA physical on file. 




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!
