Dear Bernheim Community,
This week we will complete our last round of Pathway to Proficiency testing (ELS). MONDAY is reading and THURSDAY is math. Students must have their charged chromebook at school Monday morning. They need to bring their chargers to school as well. Be sure students are well rested and ready to work hard! We are proud of BMS students. This is their time to shine! After this round of testing there will be the Big Kahuna test KSA beginning April 29th. The Kentucky Summative Assessment is the most important assessment of the school year. We are excited for BMS students to take this assessment to show how much they have grown and how incredibly bright they are. Students are always required to show Excellent Work Ethic on all they do!
BMS students are extraordinary! They are smart, kind and creative. Spring is around the corner and students might be starting to forget how important it is to follow the Bruin Way from time to time. Please remind students to always Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe, Be Here and Be Bold in Kindness, Courage and Excellent Work Ethic. Behavior Contracts are going home, the Grizzlies’ contract has already gone out, the Cubs and Bears are coming home soon. Students must be eligible to participate in the end of year activities. Receiving an office referral can result in consequences and loss of privileges. Unfortunately field trip fees can’t be refunded if students become ineligible as the funds go to businesses to pay for the trip and we can’t get the funds back from the companies we pay them to. It is important that students follow school rules and expectations and remain eligible. Thank you for encouraging your students to always do their best!

If you need to make a change to transportation during the day, call the school prior to 2:30 pm and then send in a transportation change note to Ms Jennifer Vittitoe jennifer.vittitoe@bullitt.kyschools.us You must call in to speak with someone and a written note will be required.
