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.
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."
