Dear Bernheim Community,
It has been a busy short week here in Bruin Nation! Friday found BMS honoring Nation’s Veterans. Students led the assembly with poise and grace, our student body was extremely respectful and we were so proud as they sang the National Anthem together. Bullitt County has blessed BMS with the best kids anywhere! They did a fantastic job!

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 @henryclaytime on Instagram to keep up with the antics of our school therapy dog.
