Blackford Primary School might not have phones or internet capabilities, but we will have our food Pantry today. As always, the doors open at 5:00 p.m. We look forward to welcoming everyone back from fall break with some good ears. The pantry is open to any and all families with a student at Blackford Primary School.
It appears that we may not have the network repaired until late tomorrow. Just keeping you informed.
The first Monday of the month means it is Food Pantry Night. We hope to see all of our Blackford Primary School families at the food pantry. The doors open at 5:00 pm. There is always plenty to go around, but don't me late!
In compliance with Erin's Law, Blackford County Schools will be hosting a curriculum from Childhood Victories, Inc., called "Be Seen and Heard." All kindergarten through twelve grade students will have the opportunity to hear speaker Victor Pacini deliver an age-appropriate, safe, and engaging body safety message. We encourage all parents and guardians to attend Parent Night with Victor Pacini where he will give an overview of the program and answer any questions. Parents' night will be Monday, August 31 at 5:30pm located in the BJSHS theater room. All kindergarten through twelve grade parents and guardians are welcome to attend.
Today is the first food pantry of the year at Blackford Primary School. It is open to all families with a student attending Blackford Primary School. The doors will open at 5:00 pm but it doesn't last long. So set a reminder to be here and load up on all the good stuff.
Look at those smiling faces! Students at BPS sure enjoyed their recess time during the first 3 days of school being back in session at BCS! We are proud of our students (and staff) for all their hard work! Way to go, Bruins!

With the first day of school (August 5) moving quickly towards us, have you double-checked your student's transportation information for the 26-27 session? If updates need to be made, please contact the Transportation Department at 765.348.7550.
#FirstDayOfSchool
Attention Parents: If your student used the BCS bus transportation system last year, please understand this issue with Skyward. Your child’s busing information will automatically roll over from last year’s information. If any part of your child's bus transportation has changed (Pick-up location, drop-off location, car rider…) Please help us be proactive in setting up the transportation plans. If your child will be riding the bus again this year or any part of their plan has changed, please call the school so we can get it updated in Skyward.
Just a reminder that BCS Online Enrollment opens July 6. There are other dates below to save as BCS readies for the 2026-2027 school session. We will continue to update our schedule as we receive more (BJSHS) dates.
See you soon, Bruins!
It's been a day of "walking" at Blackford County Schools! Our BJSHS seniors walked in their caps and gowns at both BIS and BPS. We love that they are inspiring our younger students in the district to look forward to THEIR senior year! Way to go, Class of 2026!

Blackford County Schools is proud to announce the 2025-2026 Blackford Primary School Teacher of the Year- Mrs. Julia Tucker. She was honored yesterday with a plaque, flowers and a reception with her colleagues and family on hand at the school.
Mrs. Tucker currently serves as the Interventionist at BPS, where she helps students make friends with books and stretch their reading abilities.
"Julia has a special way of relating to her students, said Principal Craig Campbell. "No matter what the subject is or the context of a conversation, she always finds a way to personally relate with her audience."
He added that she has one very specific way of making sure her students are in the correct mindset to learn. They need to be prepared to catch what she is throwing at them. "Get your mitt up!" is a phrase everyone that has learned under her knows very well. Her persistence, hard work and experience means countless students have benefitted from Mrs. Tucker's teaching and are better readers for it.
We congratulate Mrs. Tucker on this honor!
