Dear Bernheim Community,
We are so proud of our Bruins! Congratulations to BMS Bruins Haylie Tucker, Owen Godbold, Jayden Kearney, and Zane Risinger. These innovative young adults took 1st place at the Bullitt County Public Schools STEM Challenge. We are so proud of their ingenuity and ability to be productive collaborators! Go Bruins!
The school leadership team is meeting with each student helping them set goals and checking in with them on their student portfolios. Our one-on-one conversations with students have been fantastic. We hope to encourage each and every student to persevere and create a legacy of excellence. We have awesome students!
We look forward to Student Led Conference night April 20th when students will sit down with parents, have some Chick-Fil-A and possibly leave with a free BMS t-shirt! We are helping students make connections to their school experiences, graduate profile competencies and their own personal success.

We do our best to keep you informed! 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 you might need. Individual teacher websites 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, Twitter and Instagram. We also have @hentryclaytime on Instagram to keep up with the antics of our school therapy dog.
