As you can imagine, there's nothing quite like the first day of school.
After getting everyone to school, now we need to get them home. Please be patient for school dismissal and buses home. Chances are good, for a few days anyway, that your student may arrive home late.
Welcome back to all of our BCS students! We're wishing both students and staff a fabulous school year!
#BetterAtBlackford
Just a friendly reminder, masks are mandatory on all BCS buses.
Mask up, Bruins!
There is one more school supply we are asking our students and parents to bring for our first day tomorrow and that is PATIENCE!
Please remember that the first few days of school are challenging for just about everyone. There are bound to be a few hiccups along the way. We ask for your understanding as we get back to work at BCS.
The countdown is on!
Superintendent Chad Yencer welcomed returning and new staff during the Back to School Breakfast at BJSHS. During the meeting, Mr. Yencer congratulated MSG Rick Kauffman for being named National JROTC Instructor of the Year!

Mr. Roe has sent a welcome back message to all BJSHS students this morning. Please let our Bruins know they have some “first week of school” information waiting for them in their inbox.

Welcome to Blackford County Schools! It's another busy day as we welcome new staff members to the district. Hard to believe we're less than a week away from the first day of school!
#BetterAtBlackford
Let's be clear-
Per CDC mandate, masks are required on all public transportation, including school buses. ALL students in grades kindergarten through 12th, bus drivers and aides (unless there is a medical exemption) are REQUIRED to wear masks on school buses.
This is a change from last school year for our BCS families (and us) and we want to make sure everyone is aware.
Hotel fun! Love how many of our kids played cards and socialized together. Great group of students and parents!
Fun trip to DC- so glad we got it in. Thank you students and parents!

Greetings Blackford Jr-Sr HS Students and Parents,
We are having our Open House & New Student Orientation on:
Monday, August, 9, 2021
5:30 - 7:30 PM
During the open house hours, students are welcome to walk through the building to find their classes and lockers. The teachers will be in their rooms if you would like to meet them.
We will have parent/student meetings in the evening that are targeted for the incoming 7th grade students, and for the 9th grade and “new to” Blackford students.
Class Meetings:
7th Grade/JH New Students - 5:30 PM
9th Grade/HS New Students - 7:00 PM
These meetings will be in the Main Gym and will last approximately 20-30 minutes.
During the day from 8:00 AM - 3:00 PM, we will have assistance for parents that still need to get their students registered for school, and pick up their student laptops.
Students will not be able to get their laptops until their parents complete the registration process in Skyward.
More of Day 3 in DC! Eisenhower memorial and Capital Building.
More scenes from today's TransformEd workshop with Matt Miller at BJSHS.
Miller encouraged BCS teachers to take their dreams seriously. "Your dreams won't impact your students unless you're treating them seriously."
