CALENDAR CHANGE - DELAYING THE START OF 2ND SEMESTER
Bedford County Public Schools will be delaying the start of the second semester of the 2020-21 school year until January 21, 2021, in order to provide two additional instructional collaboration days on January 19 and 20.
This delayed start will allow teachers more time to prepare for the approximately 664 learners who have elected to shift to in-person, hybrid, or Bedford Connects (100% remote) learning options during the second semester. We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as we do our best to continue to safely operate our schools while accommodating families who have requested learning model changes.

EXTENDED WI-FI ACCESS TIME
Students who would like to benefit from extra work time to use the school's w-ifi may visit their CTE classroom on their school day on Thursday OR Friday, 8:30 - 10:30. Students may "drop in" to work on their Chromebooks under teacher supervision on their assigned class day. For example, a student enrolled in Building Construction I may attend on Thursday, the day his/her class is scheduled, but not Friday. It is important for us to avoid mixing groups of students, and we appreciate your cooperation!

Students interested in being released from learning coaching time should contact their learning coach to begin the process of being considered for this privilege. Please note that students must maintain an average of 75% or better across non-CTE classes to be released from learning coaching.
