This week is Red Ribbon Week. Please see flyer below for Dress Up Days and information.

This week is National School Bus Safety Week.

There is a Teacher Prep Day - 2 Hour Delay this Wednesday, October 23.

The Bunker Hill Elementary Trunk or Treat, called Dance Your Trunk Off, will take place this Thursday from 5:30 - 7:30 at Musselman High School. Please see flyer below for details.

Parents, please use the crosswalks at Parent Pick up/Drop off. Also, please respect our staff who are there to help keep everyone safe, as we have a lot of car and bus traffic at arrival to and dismissal from school.

Mark your calendars for a delightfully spooky evening that’s sure to be fun for the whole family! On October 23 from 5-7 p.m., the Department of Special Education will be bringing the magic of Halloween to Martinsburg High School’s cafeteria with our Sensory Friendly Transition Expo and Festival. This isn’t just any Halloween event—it’s a chance for parents, guardians and students to dress up in their favorite school-appropriate costumes and embark on a night of trick-or-treating with a purpose. As you wander through the festive atmosphere, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with community organizations that offer valuable resources and support for our students and families. And for those who prefer a more low-key option, we’ve got you covered with a convenient "drive-up" option, where you can collect to-go bags filled with goodies donated by participating agencies.

Whether you’re here for the candy, the connections, or both, it’s going to be a night filled with laughter, learning, and a little bit of Halloween magic. Don’t miss out on this unforgettable evening!

Parenting Kids with ASD

We are thrilled to announce an enriching opportunity for parents navigating the world of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). PERC has teamed up with the West Virginia Autism Training Center to bring a special four-part series tailored specifically for parents of children diagnosed with ASD to BCS. This series is designed to empower families with a deeper understanding of autism, combining educational insights with engaging activities and the chance to connect with a supportive community. Whether families are looking to expand knowledge, find new strategies for a child or simply connect with others on a similar journey, this series offers something valuable for everyone. We invite families to join us at 401 S. Queen St. from 5-6 p.m. on September 12, September 26, October 10 and October 22.
