Recently, an ESL Parent Conference was held at #CommunityElementarySchool, bringing families together to learn more about their children’s ELPA21 scores and discover ways to support continued English language growth.🌟
Families received helpful resources to take home, including practice sentences, learning materials and information about upcoming opportunities for parents and #students. 📖📝
Most importantly, the event highlighted the power of family involvement. We are grateful to the ESL parents who took the time to attend, learn, ask questions and play an active role in their children’s education. Their support makes a meaningful difference! 💙
A special #ThankYou goes to Dunkin’ Donuts for generously providing coffee and donuts ☕🍩 and to Mrs. Kathy Reed, Elementary Instructional & ESL Supervisor, for joining the event and supporting our families.
When schools and families work together, students have even more opportunities to grow, thrive and succeed! 🌎✨

We apologize for any inconvenience, but the Rooms section of the Bedford County Schools TN app is temporarily unavailable due to technical issues related to our student information system conversion.
At this time, the issue primarily affects messaging for extracurricular activities, including athletics. Academic classroom Rooms have not yet been set up as we continue working through the conversion process.
We appreciate your patience, understanding, and flexibility as we work to get everything back up and running. Thank you for your continued support of #BedfordCountySchools! 💙
