☀️ Summer is in full swing, Koala families!
We’d love to see how our students are using their Bullitt County Graduate Profile skills beyond the classroom. Whether they’re exploring new places, helping others, setting goals, learning something new, or working together as a family, every adventure is an opportunity to grow.
📸 Share a photo or story in the comments and tell us which Graduate Profile skill your child is using this summer!
📚☀️ Don't Let the Summer Slide Sneak Up on Us! ☀️📚
Summer is a great time to relax, play, and make memories, but it's also important to keep those learning muscles strong! We encourage all Old Mill students to spend a little time each week on i-Ready Reading and Math to help maintain the amazing growth they made this school year.
💻 Need to log in?
Students can access i-Ready through Clever.
🔹 Your student should know their Chromebook password.
🔹 In most cases, their email address is:
first.last@stu.bullitt.kyschools.us
Just a few lessons each week can make a big difference and help students start the new school year feeling confident and ready to learn!

💦☀️ What a day for our 5th graders!
As part of their end-of-year celebrations, our 5th grade students enjoyed Water Day! A huge thank you to our 5th grade team, volunteers, and families who helped make this special day possible.
Yesterday afternoon, our 5th graders took their final walk through the halls of Old Mill Elementary. 💙💛
As they made their way through the building one last time, they were surrounded by the teachers, staff, and students who have cheered them on throughout their journey. While it’s hard to say goodbye, we couldn’t be more proud of the young leaders they have become.
Thank you for the memories, the laughter, and the impact you’ve made on our school. Once a Koala, always a Koala. 🐨
Today, we honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.
As we enjoy time with family and friends, may we pause to reflect on their sacrifice and the freedoms they helped protect.
❤️🤍💙
Yearbook Signing Day is so much more than signatures on a page. It’s a chance for students to reconnect with former teachers, visit classmates from years past, share memories, and celebrate the relationships that make our school community so special.
From kindergarten to 5th grade, our hallways were filled with smiles, laughter, and reminders of just how connected our Koala family truly is. We love opportunities that bring our entire school community together, and today was one of those days. 🐨
We hope everyone has a wonderful three day weekend!
