With continued low temperatures and additional snow overnight, many of our roads, parking lots, and walkways remain icy and unsafe. For everyone’s safety, Monday, February 2, will be NTI Day #5. Teachers will be communicating expectations and will be available throughout the day on Monday to provide support.
We understand that some of our families are just now getting power restored. Please know that when we return to school, time and support will be provided for any students who were unable to complete NTI work due to weather-related impacts.
Thank you for your continued flexibility and support as we work through these winter conditions. Please take care, stay safe, and reach out to your school if you have any questions or need assistance.
We truly appreciate our families.
Amy Irwin
Superintendent

We know this week has been a lot, and we truly appreciate your patience as our community continues to deal with winter weather, icy conditions, and power outages in some areas.
Friday, January 30, will be NTI Day #4 and is intended to be a time for students to check in with teachers, ask questions, and catch up on previously assigned work. Teachers will be available to support students, and new assignments will be limited.
We understand that families are navigating different challenges right now. When we are able to return to school, our staff will work with students to make sure they have the time and support they need to complete any work affected by the weather.
Changes in routine and increased time online can be challenging for students. We encourage families to check in often with their children, monitor online activity, and promote kindness and safety online. School counselors are available if your child needs additional support.
Thank you for taking care of one another and for your continued support of Barren County Schools. Please continue to check the BC Schools app and our official communication channels for updates. Stay safe!
In Service,
Amy Irwin, Superintendent

We will continue to closely monitor conditions as we determine plans for the days ahead. As always, safety remains our top priority, and we thank families for their cooperation, flexibility, and understanding during this extended period of severe weather.
Please continue to monitor the BC Schools app and official district communication channels for updates.
