Montpelier Elementary Families,
Due to staffing shortages at Montpelier Elementary School we will be moving MES to at home blended learning on Monday 11/23/2020 and Tuesday 11/24/2020.
MES families can pick up computers at the school between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Monday, 11/23/2020.
BJSHS students that ride the Montpelier Bus routes (115, 118, 119) should expect busses to be there at slightly different times these two mornings as no elementary students will be riding the bus.

Congratulations to the fifth grade representatives to the Blackford Intermediate School Student Council for 2020-2021!

A friendly reminder - Wednesday, November 18 has been designated as one of our pre-planned Blended Learning Days. All BCS students will be working from home on that day.

Check out these awesome readers! First graders in Miss Rachael Dill's class at Montpelier Elementary are reading to their book buddies. According to Miss Dill, by reading aloud to their book buddies students are practicing identifying sight words, spelling words, punctuation, reading with expression, and enjoying time with their favorite characters.
Way to go, Kodiaks! Keep up the good work!
