Bullitt East High School

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Tomorrow is a significant day for our students as the entire building will be participating in different assessments. These tests help us gauge student progress and ensure everyone is on track for their future academic goals.

Testing Schedule by Grade Level
Freshmen: Students will be completing their ELS Spring Benchmark tests.

Sophomores: Students will be taking the Practice SAT.

Juniors: Students will be taking the official SAT.

Seniors: Seniors will be away from the building tomorrow gaining valuable experiences outside the school. Whether they are participating in job shadowing, community service, or college visits, we are excited for them to apply their learning in the real world.

How You Can Help
We want our students to feel confident and prepared. Please take a moment this evening to talk with your child about the importance of these assessments and encourage them to do their absolute best.

1. The "Big Three" Reminders for Tomorrow:
Charge Chromebooks: This is our most critical request. With every student in the building testing simultaneously, we will not have enough outlets or spare chargers for everyone. Please ensure your student’s Chromebook is plugged in tonight and arrives at school with a 100% charge.
2. Get a Good Night’s Sleep: A well-rested brain performs much better on long assessments.
3. Eat Breakfast: We want our students focused on their work, not a hungry stomach!

Thank you for your continued support and partnership in helping our students succeed. We are looking forward to a smooth and productive testing day!

Best regards,
Josh Lightle
Principal

Dear Bullitt East Families,

I am writing to share an urgent update regarding student parking and our relationship with our local business community. Recently, several local businesses have contacted the school to request that students stop parking in their private lots. These businesses rely on those spaces for their customers and daily operations, and unauthorized parking creates a significant hardship for them.

We are aware that several student vehicles were nearly towed from one of these locations today. Fortunately, our staff was able to intervene, and we managed to avoid any vehicles being removed by placing warning stickers on windows instead. Please understand that this was a one-time courtesy; we cannot guarantee that we will be able to prevent towing in the future, this was a courtesy afforded to us by the business owner.

At Bullitt East High School, we do not condone students using the parking lots of neighboring businesses. It is vital that we remain good neighbors and show respect for the local companies that support our school and community.

We want to be clear: we understand the frustration. We are fully aware that we currently do not have enough on-campus parking spaces to accommodate every student who wishes to drive to school. We share your sympathy regarding this shortage, and we know it puts our students and families in a difficult position. However, despite the limited space on campus, parking on private business property is not a viable or permitted solution. We strongly encourage students utilize school bus transportation whenever possible to alleviate this issue.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us maintain a positive relationship with our Mount Washington partners.

Sincerely,

Joshua Lightle
Principal
