Dear Bernheim Community,
Happy Monday! We look forward to seeing students on Tuesday! Please check out the calendar here for the changes due to the missed days. Promotion has been moved to May 30th at BCHS at 6:00pm. Other dates are listed below. We hope that there will be no more changes, weather days, or flu days.
The fourth quarter starts March 16th, the end of the year festivities are coming up, please remind your students to work hard, and follow the Bruin Way. Students must be eligible to participate in end of year activities.
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.

COUNSELOR’S CORNER
Kentucky KSA testing will begin May 10th and last through May 15th at BMS. It is crucial that your student is at school, and ready to do their best. It is also very important that students bring charged chromebooks to school, everyday, but ESPECIALLY on assessment dates. Since the state has moved to all assessments being computer based, all students must have access to their chromebook and charger during the day. Lastly, please make every effort to schedule appointments around these dates.
As always please email amy.bush@bullitt.kyschools.us with any questions or counseling needs.
