Due to projected snow and icy conditions expected this weekend, #BedfordCountySchools will be CLOSED on Monday, 1/26, and Tuesday, 1/27.
A decision about SACP will be made by Sunday at 1:00 PM.
Superintendent of Bedford County Schools Dr. Tammy Garrett explains that this decision gives families time to plan and make other arrangements for their children. While the exact type and amount of precipitation is still uncertain, forecasters are forecasting this to be an extreme weather event with dangerously cold temperatures on Monday and Tuesday, which could make travel unsafe. The safety of our #students, staff and families remains our top priority.
Please use this time to #StayWarm, #StaySafe and enjoy the extra days to rest and recharge. ☕🧣
Continue to monitor our website and social media channels for any additional updates or information, and be on the lookout for a special video this weekend! 🎥❄️

We’re partnering with #Soles4Souls to host a district-wide shoe drive!
From January 20 – February 28, we’ll be collecting NEW and GENTLY USED shoes to support people around the world. These shoes will support the Soles4Souls’ 4OPPORTUNITY program, which helps people in countries like Haiti, Honduras and parts of Africa create small businesses selling shoes and clothing to earn a living.
We are excited to partner with Soles4Souls, who has generously donated new, brand-name athletic shoes through their 4EVERYKID program, helping #BedfordCountySchools McKinney-Vento students.
📍Shoe collection bins are in each of our schools and at the Central Office.
Let’s give back—one step at a time! 💙
