📊 BCPS State Accountability At a Glance!
The Kentucky Summative Assessment (KSA) is designed to measure student proficiency and progress in reading, math, science, social studies, and more, aligning with the Kentucky Academic Standards. These assessments give us valuable insight into how well our students are mastering key concepts and developing critical thinking skills.
While KSA results are important, they’re just one part of the bigger picture when it comes to evaluating student growth and success. By combining assessment results with classroom activities, grades, district-level assessments, and our BCPS Graduate Profile, we gain a more complete view of our students' progress.
Together, we are committed to Moving Forward in ensuring academic success for all BCPS students! 🚀

Principals are at the heart of every school, and this month we’re celebrating them in style during National Principals Month! 🏫
Throughout October, we’ll be featuring our principals here in BCPS, but first—here are some fun facts about principals you might not know (and yes, they’re backed by research!):
📚 Principals Shape Student Success: According to the Wallace Foundation, school leadership is second only to classroom instruction in its impact on student learning. 🚀 That’s right, principals help launch our students toward greatness!
🕒 Long Days, Big Impact: The average principal works about 60 hours a week, according to the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP). They are true champions of commitment, often the first to arrive and the last to leave.
🏫 Master Multitaskers: Did you know that principals handle hundreds of decisions a day, from scheduling and budgeting to student issues? It’s like juggling, but with even more moving pieces! 🤹♀️
🤝 Community Builders: Principals spend roughly 60% of their time building relationships with students, staff, and families, according to the School Leaders Network. They’re the glue that keeps everything (and everyone!) connected. ❤️
Stay tuned all month as we celebrate our amazing BCPS principals who go above and beyond every single day! 🎉

🚨 BCPS Calendar Update 🚨
Due to the State Board of Elections' decision to allow the use of our schools as early voting sites, all BCPS schools will be closed on October 31st and November 1st for the safety and security of our students and staff.
Unfortunately, NTI (Non-Traditional Instruction) cannot be used for these days, as state law only allows NTI in very specific, limited situations. Due to this, we will have to make up these days in our calendar.
Check out the graphic here for details on how this year’s school calendar has changed. We appreciate your understanding as we work through these adjustments. #MovingForward
