Bullitt County Public Schools

This week in BCPS, students and staff brought learning to life in powerful, creative, and heartwarming ways. From service projects to career exploration and environmental action, classrooms were buzzing with purpose and pride. Future educators deepened their readiness by earning critical certifications, while young leaders used their voices—and their art—to uplift families in need. Others dressed the part of their dreams, imagining the futures they’re working toward with stethoscopes, hard hats, and cameras in hand. In celebration of Earth Day, students rallied around sustainability efforts with contagious energy, turning recycling into a school wide adventure. Smiles and connection filled our hallways, from joyful family nights to moments of appreciation for the everyday heroes who safely transport our students. Every corner of our community reflected what it means to lead with compassion, curiosity, and courage. We are so proud of our students and staff for making this week one to remember. 💙 https://youtube.com/shorts/L-hKxPFk6x0?feature=shared #MovingForward #WeAreBC

Two high schools. One powerful message. Recently, Bullitt East and North Bullitt students experienced unforgettable events (Killer Decisions and "Day of Shattered Dreams) that brought the life-or-death consequences of impaired and distracted driving into sharp focus. Through simulations, guest speakers, and emotional moments, students saw just how much one decision can change everything. Huge thanks to our staff, first responders, and community partners who made these experiences possible. Together, we’re shaping safe, informed, and empowered graduates. read more: https://www.bullitt.k12.ky.us/article/2166212 #MovingForward #BCPSCommunityContributor #BCPSSelfDirectedNavigator #BCPSServiceBeforeSelf

Thank you for your continued flexibility as we navigate this challenging week together. Many primary and secondary roads in the central and southern end of the county remain under water and closed for vehicular traffic. Additionally, the Red Cross and Bullitt County Emergency Management Agency have requested that Lebanon Junction Elementary continue to be utilized as a community shelter through the end of this week. As a result, Bullitt County Public Schools will implement NTI for students from Wednesday, April 9th, through Friday, April 11th. We realize that NTI will look different in each school over the next three days. For our communities heavily impacted by floodwaters, our first priority is to connect with our families to ensure they and their students are safe and have the resources they need during this difficult and stressful time. If your family has been displaced from your home due to flooding, damage to property, fallen trees, or extended power outages, your student may qualify for additional support and services under the McKinney-Vento Act. Even if you haven’t been displaced, your family may still be eligible for help with basic needs like food, clothing, or hygiene items through your school’s Family Resource or Youth Services Center. If your family has been impacted, we encourage you to complete this short survey so we can connect you with support as quickly as possible. (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfOyUnFJ2_4Mkw-Yx_Dgm_eF3NYQ7I-e-Olz-DGKGpmsDygvg/viewform) For the rest of the week, students will complete assignments from home, and teachers will be available to provide support and communication throughout the day. Buildings will remain open, and staff will be on-site to provide support in the best way possible. We’re here for you, and we’re committed to walking alongside you during this time. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to your school with any questions or needs. Thank you for your continued partnership and for the strength and compassion you continue to show during this time. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s school with questions or concerns. #MovingForward
