Fourth graders at Overdale Elementary are already Moving Forward! 🎓✨
Through a hands-on career PBL experience, students explored career pathways, interviewed professionals, wrote resumes, and practiced interview skills to build confidence and ownership of their future.

This project highlights our BCPS Graduate Profile, especially Self-Directed Navigator and Effective Communicator skills, and shows how learning today prepares students for life tomorrow. 💬🚀

✨Board Member Spotlight: Mr. Dallas Harshfield

We want to take a moment to highlight Dallas Harshfield, our District 5 Board Member for Bullitt County Public Schools. For Dallas, the mission is simple: Students are the primary focus.

From his years of volunteering to leading local nonprofits, Dallas has always been rooted in service. He brings that same spirit of collaboration and accountability to the school board every single day.

"I want [students] to know the decisions made were thoughtful, creative, and willing to think outside the box, recognizing that education is not a one-size-fits-all approach."

When he’s not reviewing budgets or policies to ensure our students have the best opportunities to succeed, you can find him helping people through his career in insurance, staying active on a run, or cheering on the Cards! 🏈

Thank you, Dallas, for your dedication to BCPS and for always thinking "outside the box" for our kids!

❄️ BCPS NTI: Wednesday, Jan. 28th and Thursday, Jan. 29th❄️

As winter storm effects continue to impact our area, Wednesday, January 28th, and Thursday, January 29th, will be Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) Days. All athletic and extracurricular events are canceled as well.

Please note that our buildings will remain closed on Wednesday, January 28th, as many of our facilities across the district are still being treated for snow and ice. We will continue to provide updates as soon as they are available. We are monitoring conditions closely.

At this time, if normal in-person instruction is not possible on Friday, January 30th, it will be observed as a traditional snow day. A decision for Friday will be determined and announced on Thursday, January 29th.

Stay safe and warm.

The "Community Contributor" in action! 🧤✨

Huge shout-out to our BCPS Department of Facilities! ❄️

They have been working diligently to keep us up to date on the effects of the winter storm in our area. From checking on every one of our BCPS locations to already being out in the elements clearing snow from our sidewalks and parking lots, we see your hard work! 🚜🧤

We truly appreciate them ensuring the safety of our students and staff. Thank you for all you do! 🙌

While our Facilities team is hard at work, we’d love to see how the rest of our BCPS community is spending their time! ☃️☕️Share your snapshots here: https://forms.gle/4GRqc5oJaf96WWA66! Whether it’s a picture-perfect snowman, a cozy reading nook, or some kitchen science, show us how you’re enjoying this traditional snow day. 📸

Tuesday, January 27th: NTI Day #3 for BCPS

Due to ongoing winter weather conditions and effects, Bullitt County Public Schools will utilize a Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) Day for Tuesday, January 27th. All district and school facilities are closed, and extracurriculars are canceled.

Instruction will take place virtually. Students will complete their learning from home, and teachers will provide assignments and support throughout the day.

Our NTI Approach: As we navigate this winter storm and the lingering conditions caused by these freezing temperatures, please note that we do not like to exceed three (3) NTI days in a single week. We feel this is the best way to support our families, prevent "screen fatigue" for our students, and ensure that our school calendar stays on track.

Stay safe and we’ll provide more updates as soon as they are available.

❄️ BCPS Closed: Monday, January 26th ❄️

As predicted, hazardous winter weather has arrived in our area. To ensure the safety of our students and staff, Bullitt County Public Schools will be CLOSED on Monday, January 26th. This will be a TRADITIONAL SNOW DAY and all district and school facilities will be closed; all extracurriculars are canceled through Monday as well.

Looking Ahead: Winter conditions are expected to persist into the week. Due to this, we will re-evaluate road and facility conditions on Monday. Based on these conditions, an announcement for Tuesday, January 27th will be made for either a traditional snow day OR a NTI (Non-Traditional Instruction) day. We will provide further updates as decisions are made.

Stay safe and warm.

🌟 Staff Spotlight: Ms. Susannah Taylor at Eastside Middle School 🌟

Ms. Taylor is a powerful example of Service Before Self! When she saw a need in the EMS community, she took action by reviving and restocking the school pantry to support families in need. She’s doing it all on her own time, and even more inspiring, she’s brought her band students along with her to show them what it means to serve others.

In Ms. Taylor’s classroom, students are learning more than music. They’re learning compassion, leadership, and the importance of giving back. Thank you, Ms. Taylor, for the heart you pour into your students and your community!

#BCPSProud #MovingForward #BCPSServiceBeforeSelf

With winter storms predicted in the forecast, the safety of our students and staff remains our top priority. As a result, all BCPS extracurricular activities, practices, and athletic events scheduled for this weekend (Saturday, Jan. 24th & Sunday, Jan. 25th) have been canceled.

Stay warm and safe.

❄️ BCPS NTI Day 2: Wednesday, January 21st

Due to forecasted icy road conditions and out of an abundance of caution for the safety of our students and staff, Wednesday, January 21st, will be NTI Day #2 for Bullitt County Public Schools.

At this time, road temperatures are below freezing and freezing rain is confirmed to be headed our way. We monitored conditions as long as possible to determine the best option to ensure the safety of our students and staff.

Students will complete their learning from home, and teachers will provide assignments and support throughout the day.

We appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we navigate the winter weather season. If you have any questions, please reach out to your child’s school.

Stay warm and safe!
