In an effort to better support the needs of our students, we have created a form that teachers, parents, and students can fill out to proactively request help from the school for things like academic concerns, behavior concerns, social/emotional wellbeing, mental health wellbeing, or other possible issues happening outside of school. This form is part of our broader multi-tiered system of support for students and families. To submit a referral, please fill out the attached form below. If you have any questions about the form or if you should even fill it out, please contact our School Counselor Erin King at erin.king@bellevue.kyschools.us.

We are now taking applications join the BMHS Student Council. Student Council is a great way for students to get connected to the overall school community. The student applications are now live in Clever when students log in to their computers. Student applications and two teacher recommendations are due by October 1st. If you have any questions about Student Council, please contact Ms. Jerdon at emma.jerdon@bellevue.kyschools.us
