🌟 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. She demonstrates empathy and respect for others, making her a model student. Aubrey has served on the Principal Advisory Council and even created a powerful rap called "Not to be a Bully" to promote kindness. 🎤❤️ Aubrey’s latest initiative is to start a reading mentoring program to help students who struggle with reading at grade level—a cause close to her heart. 📚 Thank you, Aubrey, for your dedication and compassion! You are making a difference! 🌟 #BCPSCommunityContributor #MovingForward

🎒 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

🍗🎙️ 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

🚧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
