Great job, Trystyn! We are proud of you! #BCPCROC #MovingForward

BVLA Middle School students went on a virtual field trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park along with students from 21 other states! Together, they investigated the many invertebrates that are native to the Park. #BVLAKY #MovingForward

Who says NTI work can't be fun and valuable? Our BAMS students are currently taking an Anatomy and Physiology class, so one of their NTI assignments was to use materials from home to design and create a functional hand! This lesson made the interdependency required between skeletal muscle and bone, ligaments, etc. for limb articulation. Students even created the rubric with which all projects will be judged! #BCPSBAMS #MovingForward

Shout-out to Ms. Greer! #BCPSROC #MovingForward

Here's another BAMS/GE project for your snowy day: The Lazy Window! This project is a great example of the Graduate Profile competency of Innovative Problem Solver. You've heard of a Lazy Susan (poor Susan!) and you've seen revolving doors, but have you ever seen a revolving window with storage built in? Students in this group know that space in a tiny home is at a premium, and they are working on an innovative way to increase that space while also making the windows more useful. Stay tuned to this one - the result will be interesting to see! #BCPSBAMS #MovingForward

BVLA January Student of the Month. We're so proud of you Taylor! #BCPSBVLA

Shout-out to Mrs. Rakes for being such an amazing teacher! #MovingForward #BCPSROC #BCPSBVLA

Yesterday, CRC students in Ms. Todd's class participated in: CSI: Florence - Who was behind the plot to kill the Medici Brothers? Students did a great job practicing the Graduate Profile Competency of Productive Collaborator as they pieced together all kinds and types of information to uncover the truth! #BCPSCRC #MovingForward

Just when you thought we were done - Here's another entry in our BAMS GE/Tiny House series: The Solar Panel Tracker! Students in this group were presented with a well-documented problem: solar panels are less effective when not receiving direct sunlight. They have been exemplifying the Graduate Profile Competency of Innovative Problem Solver by designing a rotating base for the solar panels. This base will rotate throughout the day to ensure the solar panels have as much direct light as possible, thus maximizing efficiency and electricity generation. #BCPSBAMS #MovingForward

Hey BCPS 8th Graders! If you're interested in BAMS, come out to the Riverview Opportunity Center for the Bullitt Advanced Math and Science Open House on January 23rd at 6pm. We look forward to seeing you there!

Please welcome our new Guest Teacher, Mr. Gary Rose! #BCPSROC #MovingForward

BVLA High School Question & Answer Session Tuesday, January 2nd at 6:00pm! Parents and students are welcome to join us for information about the new school semester.

Our BVLA Elementary and Middle School students were practicing being Community Contributors (part of the BCPS Graduate Profile) yesterday during their Holiday Party at the Bullitt County Public Library! They collected all kinds of goodies to donate to the Colonial House. We are super proud of them! #BVLAKY #MovingForward

Here's another entry in our BAMS GE/Tiny House series: The Water Transportation Support System! This time, we'll focus on the BCPS Graduate Profile Competency of Effective Communicator. For all of these projects, students must effectively communicate between each other, GE, and others. They do this by demonstrating active listening, conveying ideas in different ways, and engaging others in productive discourse! #BCPSBAMS #MovingForward

The next entry in our GE/Tiny House series is the Aquaconnect Hub! Of course, every one of our projects see students practicing the Graduate Profile Competency of Productive Collaborator. In this project, students have been collaborating not only with GE and each other, but also experts to ensure their project is as good as can be. They are always taking other viewpoints and applying constructive feedback to reach their goals! #BCPSBAMS #MovingForward

Congratulations to Mr. Anthony Dickerson!! He does a wonderful job! #BCPSBAC #BCPSROC #MovingForward

Here's our fourth entry in the General Electric/Tiny Home Project Series: We present to you: the Modular Living Roof! Students in each project practice the Graduate Profile Competency of Self-Directed Navigator. In this project, students have been practicing this competency from the beginning. In order to develop this project, group members first determined their outcome - how could they design a product for the Tiny Home that would improve the life of its occupant? They proposed many different projects, eventually deciding on this one. From there, they continue to be in control: the group decides how to research, how to prototype, how to communicate - everything! #BCPSBAMS #MovingForward

In our third General Electric/Tiny Home Project Series, we present: the Collapsable Bathroom Counter! In all of these projects, students practice the Graduate Profile Competency of Innovative Problem Solver. A great example of that can be seen in this project. Students took information about their target audience and evaluated multiple ideas for how they can make the lives of that audience easier. Knowing the outcomes they wanted, they were able to decide on the unique solution of a sink and counter that could collapse, thus creating more space in the tiny home when not in use! In order to create their innovative solution, they've had to analyze information from many areas including plumbing and carpentry. #BCPSBAMS #MovingForward

In our second General Electric/Tiny Home Project Series, we present: The Voice Activated Window Shade! As with all of these projects, our BAMS students practice the Graduate Profile Competency of Mastery Learner. For example, this project has been through multiple iterations, including being activated by remote instead of voice. For each iteration, students must learn about what makes their project work. In this case, students have studied things like electrical circuits, voltage/amperage, radio waves, pulley systems, and pulley systems. All the while, they make adjustments based on new knowledge, show perseverance, and tackle new learning challenges. #BCPSBAMS #MovingForward

Congratulations to Amy Peppers and Bobbi Seay!! They do a wonderful job! #BCPSROC #MovingForward
