🎉 A big shoutout to our incredible School Counselors! 26 of our counselors recently attended the KSCA Conference in Lexington, with Bullitt East High School's team leading a presentation. Bullitt Central High School was also one of just five schools that earned the KSCA SEL Award and a $300 grant to enhance their counseling program! 🙌 We love this example of Proactive Innovation—our counselors continually seeking new ways to support student success and emotional well-being. We are so proud of their dedication and commitment to their craft every day! 🚀💡 #MovingForward #KSCA2024 #BCPSProactiveInnovation #SchoolCounseling

🌟 Student Spotlight 🌟 Meet Aubrey, a true leader at OES! 🎉 Aubrey is a student who not only recognizes the needs around her but also takes action to make a positive impact on our community.

You are making a difference! 🌟 #BCPSCommunityContributor #MovingForward

🎶🎨🎭📚 It's National Arts in Education Week! 🎶🎨🎭📚 Here in BCPS, the arts are more than just subjects—they are a vital part of our mission to develop well-rounded students who are creative, critical thinkers, and confident leaders. Engaging in the arts empowers students to explore their talents, build resilience, and enhance their problem-solving skills. 📊💡 Research shows that students involved in the arts are four times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement and develop strong social and emotional skills. 🧠✨ By nurturing creativity through music, visual arts, theater, and dance, we are equipping our students with the tools they need to excel in all aspects of life, reflecting the core values of BCPS: commitment to excellence, lifelong learning, and community engagement. Let's celebrate the power of arts in education and honor the talented students and dedicated educators who bring these values to life every day! #MovingForward #NationalArtsInEducationWeek #ArtsMatter

🎒 Tomorrow is the big day! 🌟 Thursday, September 12th, is High Attendance Day, and we’re excited to join schools across Kentucky in a friendly competition to see which school can achieve the highest attendance! 🏆 Let’s show the state how committed BCPS is to making every day count! Remember, consistent school attendance is key to academic success. Students who attend regularly are more likely to develop essential life skills, build strong relationships, and achieve their goals. Missing just two days a month can add up to a whole year of lost learning by the end of high school! Here in BCPS, we’re dedicated to supporting every student’s journey. Let’s come together to make tomorrow our highest attendance day yet and shine a spotlight on the importance of showing up, engaging, and thriving every day! 📚✨ #MovingForward #HighAttendanceDay #AttendanceMatters #EveryDayCounts

🚧Important Update for our BCPS Community 🚧 BCPS will close schools on October 31 and November 1 for early voting due to recent changes in legislation allowing the Bullitt County Clerk to mandate the use of school facilities for early voting. Given the safety and logistical issues this causes, BCPS regrettably must close school on October 31st and November 1st. Despite our efforts to work with the County Clerk on alternative options, schools were chosen as voting sites. Learn more here: https://www.bullittschools.org/news. #MovingForward

🍗🎙️ Guess what day it is, BCPS?? Throwback to a fan-favorite episode of Beyond the Bell when Dr. Jesse Bacon sat down (or rather...walked around) with Maryville Elementary’s beloved Ms. Ellen and the legendary Chicken Patty Tuesday came up in their conversation! 🐔🍴 Ms. Ellen shared how every meal served is about more than just food—it’s about creating a welcoming environment where every student feels seen, cared for, and supported. Our cafeteria staff go above and beyond to make sure students start their day with a smile, one meal at a time. On this Chicken Patty Tuesday, let’s appreciate the dedication and hard work of our cafeteria heroes who make a positive impact every single day! 🍽️❤️ #MovingForward #BCPSServiceBeforeSelf Check out the full episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQo5jMV1kAo
