Blue Ridge Families,
Please accept my apology for not getting this email out sooner. Students in grades 3-5 are currently doing a Benchmark practice test. This is a practice test in preparation for the WVGSA. They are testing by grade levels, so all students are not testing every day. Our schedule is modified with students who are testing having a different lunch time and specials in the afternoon. Thank you for your continued support and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out.

On Tuesday, February 11, 2025, Harpers Ferry Middle School will be having a scheduling night for rising 6th graders. Your 5th grader will be bringing home a letter this afternoon with the details.

Happy New Year! We are very excited to see our students back in school after an extended break. Here are a few important items to discuss:
Snow Days: Should we have another snow day, students will be expected to participate in learning using their Chromebooks and assignments from their teachers. Your child will be bringing their Chromebook home starting this Friday to use this weekend. Please make sure they bring it back to school on Tuesday. Please make sure they keep it safe.
Hot Spots: Information went home yesterday regarding the need for Hot Spots for internet access. If you need a Hot Spot for your student to get online and do their work, please fill out the form and return it.
Report Cards: Report cards will come home on Friday, and a conference form will be in the envelope. If you’d like a conference, please fill out the form and return it to your child’s teacher. Parent-teacher conferences are scheduled for Thursday, January 23, 2025, from 5-7 pm.
Thank you and stay safe and warm.
