Superintendent Dr. Jason Atkinson held the first Teacher Round Table of the school year on Friday, bringing educators together for an open conversation about what's happening in our schools and what our teachers need to continue serving students well.
These conversations provide an opportunity for teachers to share ideas, celebrate what's working, identify challenges and help shape the direction of Bladen County Schools.
We're grateful for the educators who took time to share their experiences, ask thoughtful questions and offer ideas. When we listen to the people closest to the work, we make better decisions for our students.

The Elizabethtown Primary Library Detectives are on the case! 🐬
Inference is an important reading skill that asks readers to use clues either from the text or personal background knowledge to figure out something the author doesn’t directly state. The EPS Detectives 🔍 put this to practice, carefully investigating the library “crime scenes” for clues and evidence to solve the case!
👏 Awesome job to the EPS Media Coordinator for making learning fun!

Learning is better together. 💙
From listening and sharing ideas to asking questions and learning from one another, classroom conversations help our students build confidence, curiosity and a sense of belonging.
We’re grateful for teachers who create welcoming spaces where every student has an opportunity to learn, participate and grow. 📚✨

REMINDER: All BCS schools and departments will be closed tomorrow, Monday, September 7 in observance of Labor Day.
We look forward to seeing everyone Tuesday morning!

We are excited to highlight Bladenboro Primary's Infusion Inclusion Drink Cart💙🥤
Through the drink cart, students gain valuable hands-on, real-world skills as they learn to prepare specialty sodas and iced coffees for school staff. ☕️🥤
But the learning doesn’t stop there! Students also have the opportunity to practice communication, teamwork, responsibility, and social skills as they deliver orders and interact with staff throughout the school.
Even better, all proceeds from the drink cart go directly to the PTA, whose generous support helped make this incredible learning opportunity possible. We are so thankful for a PTA that believes in creating meaningful opportunities for ALL of our students! 💙
Way to go, Bladenboro Primary! 💙🥤

That means the big yellow buses are back on the roads!
Leave yourself a little extra time, be patient and stay alert around school buses and bus stops.
Check out this handy refresher on North Carolina’s school bus stop laws, and remember: Stop for school buses. Watch. Wait.
We can't wait to make it a GREAT year!
