Dear Bernheim Community,
What a great week in Bruin Nation. BMS CEO’s, our student principal’s advisory group, organized and facilitated the 5th grade transition event on Tuesday. Approximately 40 students grades 6-8 all worked together to create a wonderful experience for incoming students! We couldn’t be more proud of the leadership students.
We also welcomed Bruin families to BMS on Thursday for our Title 1 Student Showcase/Student Led Conferences. We had a great turnout for the event and are so proud of all our students who completed their portfolios and shared them beautifully with their families! We ate, listened to music and gave away Bruin Spirit gear! Thank you for participating and we look forward to seeing everyone next time.
FIELD TRIPS COMING UP!
Grizzlies are headed to Kentucky Kingdom, Bears the Parklands and Cubs the Zoo! Field trip forms will be sent home on Monday! Please be looking for those! Students must be eligible to go by being free of referrals for the 4th quarter and passing all classes for the year to be able to attend.
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. BCPS asks all parents and guardians to understand that student schedules will not be released for the 23-24 school year if a student is missing a school physical, birth certificate, or does not have updated immunization certificates on file with BCPS schools. Please be certain all documents are on file and that your registration is processed ASAP. You may send those documents to school and have your student give them to Stephanie Dillman. Thank you in advance!
8th GRADE DANCE INFORMATION
Student Dress Code for the dance has been distributed and was sent home to parents with the behavior contracts for students. It is also in students' Grizzly 8th grade google classroom if your student needs to take another look at it. The dance is always so much fun, and we want this year's Grizzlies to have a great time.
ATTENDANCE
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

PTSA
We Need You! Please reach out to Ms. Dillman and share with her your interest in being a PTSA parent for next school year! We love BMS families and we need you to help us make BMS the absolute best it can be for students. Ms. Dillman will be happy to help get you started!
Please join the BMS PTSA! 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. Starting May 4th students will leave their Chromebooks at school each day for the rest of the school year. Please verify that your students have their Chromebook and their charger. If they have broken or lost their charger they will need to purchase a new one. Those are $26.00, that money can be turned into Ms. Karla Elliott in the mornings. This will help us be sure that all students have a charged chromebook for testing. 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.
