April 29-May 2, 2024 BMS Newsbytes: KSA Information, Celebrations and More!

 Dear Bernheim Community,

Students are ready for the “Big Kahuna,” Kentucky Summative Assessment (KSA) beginning on Monday.  We have been sharing the expectation for Excellent Work Ethic all year. Please make sure students are ready to do their absolute best each day of testing.  Please schedule all  appointments for AFTER testing dates so students can test with their testing Crew.  


Students had a big week in the Bears House. They experienced an archaeological dig, and went to the Bats baseball game!!! They are currently in first place in the House Competition! Way to go Bears!






We had fun at the annual KSA Academic Pep Rally on Friday where the BEARS pulled ahead in the House Competition with 1978 points! We are so proud of our students and know they will do fantastic.  Please see the letter for how to support your student over the course of the next week.

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.
