You know Mrs. Burnett loves a good competition! So, the grade level that has the highest rate of attendance the next two days will get a pajama and hat day when we return. IF our whole school hits a rate of 98%, I will allow FREE seating at lunch one day next week AND a whole school hat and pj day! You all have done so well with NTI days. Let's keep up the hard work and momentum!
Students and staff are currently on lunch. At 12:15, students are expected to be on iready for 25 mins. They may choose to complete reading or math. If your student has not checked in with their fourth period teacher yet today, please be sure to do so ASAP. Please let us know if you need anything! Thank You!
NTI Day tomorrow! Make sure you are actively engaged and present for each of your classes and completing your iReady minutes as well. We have worked too hard to slow down now! Please reach out if you need anything or have trouble at all!

Hebron Families,
I am blown away by the responses already for the CER prompt. I have received 15 student responses - on a snow day! You can't tell me Hebron kids aren't amazing! I announced that the first 25 will received 30 PBIS points for submitting. We will choose the top 3 to send to Dr. Bacon regarding tomorrow's decision for a snow or NTI day. Due to so many early responses however, I am going to extend this to the first 30 students! Get your responses in by 2p.m. TODAY to be considered! Attached are some things to consider. If any kiddo wants to resubmit, you are welcome to do so. Stay warm and cozy! As always, I am so proud to be your Principal and I am grateful for the opportunity to work with amazing students and families.
Sincerely,
Principal Burnett
Hey, hey, hey, it's a snow day! Tomorrow, Monday, January 26 will be a traditional snow day for BCPS. We will not have in person for learning on Tuesday as well but a decision has not been made as to if it will be a traditional snow day or NTI day. Bundle up with a great book and log some beanstack minutes. Students can also complete the challenge below:
Challenge - Write a CER using the prompt below. Email your response to Mrs. Burnett at Lauren.burnett@bullitt.kyschools.us. The first 25 students to submit a quality CER will received 30 PBIS POINTS! Good Luck!
Prompt:
Based on the weather conditions on Tuesday, should the day be an NTI day or a traditional snow day? You will write a CER (Claim–Evidence–Reasoning) response using facts, observations, and logical reasoning—not just opinions.
Take a clear position:
Tuesday should be an NTI day,
OR
Tuesday should be a traditional snow day
✨ Bonus Challenge:
Include a counterargument (What might someone who disagrees say?) and explain why your claim is still stronger.

Couple of clarifications:
*Cars may begin to line up across the front of the school beginning at 7:30 a.m. Please do not pull around to the front prior to this time in order to allow Discovery students (who start earlier) to be dropped off.
*Students may start unloading at 7:40 a.m.
*Students need to unload at the front of the building only.
*Please pull ALL the way forward as directed. Once the cars all stop across the front, all students need to unload.
Once the staff member stops the line, this will signal for everyone to safely unload. This will only work if we all do our part.
*Most of all, thank you for your patience as we try to find the best solutions to getting students in on time.
*Today moved faster! We will get there!

You asked, we answered! Thank you for the helpful suggestions regarding the morning drop off. Please see the attached image to explain. We will give this a try and see if this helps!
Hebron Families:
Our school day begins at 8a.m. Though we know the car rider line gets backed up at times, many did not arrive until after 8a.m this morning. We have tried to accommodate families and keep the door open longer and also bring the line around the front of the building for drop off. Unfortunately, this has had the opposite effect and car riders are being dropped off later. For this reason, any student that arrives after the 8 a.m bell will need to sign in the front office and will receive a tardy. We are actively working to create a culture of urgency and academic excellence at Hebron Middle School. Beginning on time and maintaining high expectations directly corresponds to this. We appreciate your understanding. Thank you in advance for your help and support of our students, staff and school at large.
Sincerely,
Principal Burnett

NTI Day #2! Students will follow their daily schedule for on-line instruction and assignments will be posted in Google Classroom as well. If you need anything at all, please do not hesitate to reach out to Principal Burnett at Lauren.burnett@bullitt.kyschools.us
Families, when dropping off for the car rider line, please have your kiddos unload down the length of the side walk to assist in the line. When we only unload 1-2 kids at a time, it makes the line take much longer. Thank you for your help in this and for your patience.
Please be advised that meta glasses, wireless headphones, smart watches and cell phones (any personal electronic device), is not allowed at Hebron Middle. If students are seen with these items between 8am-3p.m, they will be confiscated and sent to the front office where a guardian must pick up.
Also, we have seen an increase in pajama pants. This is a violation of our dress code. Students that wear them will be issued a strike and must call home to inform families. Thank you in advance for your help and support. As the saying goes, it takes a village and we certainly appreciate ours!

A Message from Principal Burnett:
Tomorrow we will be having our KSA celebration assemblies. Students that received a proficient and/or distinguished in Math or Reading will be bringing home certificates and a letter to families regarding the proficiency dance for those that qualify. ALL students will be bringing home their KSA reports from the 24-25 school year as well as their newest iReady benchmark scores. Please review them with your child. These are important conversations to have as a family, to see where students are performing and what their goals are for the future. Thank you for continuing to support our school, our teachers and our students as we grow.
It's a great day to be a panther!
Sincerely,
Lauren Burnett

Any students planning on attending the Bullitt Lick game at BLMS must have a parent or guardian present in order to attend. Thank you!
HMS Families, we are aware that there are some internet outages in the area. You all have been fantastic this morning reaching out and showing true effort to attend school today! I am so proud! Please continue to stay in contact with teachers via email. Also, students can likely complete assignments off line and submit once the internet is restored or we return to school. Thank you for your patience and diligence! If your child has trouble logging in due to password issues, please contact- Shaye.underwood@bullitt.kyschools.us for assistance. It's always a great day to be a panther! Mrs. Burnett
Good Morning Hebron Families! It's NTI day 1 and teachers will be ready to begin instruction at 8:30am. All links for the google meets will be posted in google classroom. Students will need to attend all of their regular classes today for mini lessons at the start of each class period. All content will be posted in google classroom. Please contact Mrs. Burnett at Lauren.burnett@bullitt.kyschools.us with any questions.
Please see the attached schedule and notes for any future NTI Days
Important : Students will be taking home their chromebooks today. 6th grade has been given chargers to bring home. that can remain at home. 7th and 8th grade have already been given chargers prior to this year. Should your student no longer have a charger, the chromebooks use a "C" charger which is common in most households. If you child does not have a chromebook, they can sign in to google on most electronic devices and can still attend google meets and submit work. In the event of an NTI day, students will be expected to attend each of the normal classes virtually. More information will be sent out later today. Thank You! Lauren Burnett
Winter iReady testing is coming soon and we are so pumped to see student growth!!! We need everyone trying their best so we have a true picture of their abilities. Teachers will be goal setting with students soon. Please be sure to talk with your kiddo about putting forth their best effort!
