Dear Bernheim Community,
It is that time of year. We need all families to complete the ONLINE REGISTRATION. The goal is to have all families returning to BCPS completed by the end of the school year. Please make sure you have processed your child’s registration as soon as possible. Thank you in advance!
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.

PTSA
Please join the BMS PTSA! They are such a huge support to students, staff and the community! Please contact Stephanie Dillman at (502) 869-4000 for any questions about volunteering at BMS.
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.
