THIS IS A CHANGE: The last regularly scheduled Knights' Armor Food Pantry pick up will be held on Wednesday, May 20th. To schedule a pickup, please contact Ms. Richardson at 434-969-6100 ext. 22112.
We are monitoring this situation very closely and have been working on a daily basis with Piedmont Health District Director Dr. Maria Almond. She has provided direct guidance to the division, and we have followed that guidance carefully. We are fully in compliance with the recommendations provided by the Health District.
Out of an abundance of caution, we began reviewing student immunization records last week. We have also been in contact with parents and guardians of students who, based on our records, may not be fully immunized and may be of higher risk of acquiring the infection. This outreach is intended to help families understand any steps they may need to take and to support the continued health and safety of our schools.
We will continue to follow guidance from public health officials, monitor developments closely, and share additional updates if there is new information that impacts our schools.
Come out and celebrate the BCHS Class of 2026 as they parade through Dillwyn!
Find a good spot along the route and let's cheer on our graduates!
