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! 🎥❄️
