🚨 IMPORTANT GRADUATION PARKING UPDATE 🚨 Today is graduation day, and we want every BCPS family to have a smooth arrival! Due to facility-wide construction and multiple large-scale events at the Kentucky Exposition Center, parking and access routes will be different than in years past. 🏗️ Major construction is happening around the Fair & Expo Center, including the closure of our usual graduate lineup area near the Pavilion and Lot K (see orange zone on the map). This will impact parking flow and walking distance for all three graduation sessions. 🚪 Gate 4 is OPEN! Good news: Gate 4 (2801 Crittenden Drive) is back open just in time and is your best access point. 🎢 Expect Crowds: Kentucky Kingdom is open and there are multiple tournaments happening this weekend, meaning lots will fill quickly. Be prepared to park further away than usual and walk a greater distance to the venue. 📍Parking Map: http://kyexpo.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/KEC-HSGradParking-Map-v2.pdf 👟 Leave early. Wear comfortable shoes. This change is due to external logistics at the Expo Center, and we want to make sure every family has time to adjust and arrive safely.

Full circle moments. Big smiles. Even bigger dreams. This week, seniors from Bullitt East, North Bullitt, and Bullitt Central walked the halls where it all began: returning to their former elementary and middle schools in cap and gown. They were met with high fives, hugs, and handmade signs from students and staff who cheered them on. These walks weren’t just a celebration of what's ahead, but a reminder of the village that helped shape the journey. #SeniorWalk #MovingForward #BCPSGraduationWeek #BCPSClassof2025

💫 For our last Beyond the Bell of the school year, we're shining a light on someone truly special: Jenna Blain, teacher at Pleasant Grove Elementary. Jenna walked in the Kentucky Oaks Survivor Parade earlier this month, an incredible moment that reflects the strength, grace, and hope she’s carried through her cancer journey this past year. Through it all, she’s stayed grounded in what she loves most: her students, her school family, and the joy of teaching. We’re so grateful to Jenna for sharing her story, and for reminding us what resilience really looks like. 💛 https://youtu.be/NI5cJgA5VfE #BeyondTheBell #TeamBCPS #SurvivorStrong #MovingForward
