Dear Bernheim Community,
We are so proud of BMS Students and grateful for staffulty! BMS has gathered over 871 food items for LJ Turnaround Center. We hope to far surpass that on Monday and meet our goal of 1000 food items. Monday is the last day for students to bring in items. Please help them out and send in items for the food drive. The students have done a wonderful job of supporting their local community and we are so proud of them.
We have just about completed ELS testing and will have scores to share with families after break! We can’t wait to see how much students have grown from the start of the year! BMS students are capable of so many great things! We love to see them thinking like scientists, historians, mathematicians and more!
Congratulations to the BMS and Choir and Band students! They did a wonderful job at Thursday’s Christmas Concert! We were so proud of them! Check out the video on BMS Facebook page!
We only have two days next week and we want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. There will not be an edition of BMS Newsbytes next week; this is the last one before the break.

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 @henryclaytime on Instagram to keep up with the antics of our school therapy dog. As you can see we want to make every effort to stay connected with families.
Thank you again for providing us the opportunity to serve you and your students.
