School News

• Here is an overview of the planning for the 2021-2022 school year. Students will return to school 5 days a week, go back to base schools, and return to regular hours (8-2:30 for elementary & 9-3:30 for middle & high). Bedford Connects will still be an option, but will have more synchronous teaching. Parents must complete a request application available April 2-23rd. At schools students will be social distanced at three feet and masks will still be required. All of this is dependent upon CDC, VDH, and VDOE guidelines. Cleaning protocols we have used this year will continue to be in place.
• STOPit provides simple, fast, and powerful anonymous reporting via the STOPit Mobile App, Web & Hotline. STOPit Messenger enables anonymous, 2-way dialogue between administrators and reporters in real-time—course correcting issues before they turn into emergencies.

Students who wish to see an administrator or counselor in a non-emergency situation should complete the Counselor Request Form or the Administrator Request Form (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScNeJAANrG51eElEVYVNctq9K0HuMSd10eB2ux8xZS5UPDDLg/viewform?usp=sf_link).  They can drop it off in the main office or ask their teacher to give to the proper individual. 

CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) 
Bedford County Public Schools still remains closed to the public, but essential appointments can be made by calling your child's school.

The National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) has developed a parent resource on how to talk about COVID-19 with your child. The CDC provides daily updates and health-related guidance in regards to COVID-19 if further information is needed for your family.
