Due to the current conditions and the forecast, Berryville Schools will be closed on Friday, January 10 for a SNOW Day.
Based on the current forecast, Berryville Public Schools will release students at 1:00, Thursday, January 9. This early release will allow us to safely transport students home before the roads become hazardous.
Please be advised that school buses will drop students off at their respective bus stops approximately two hours earlier than usual this afternoon. Likewise, students who do not ride the bus should be picked up within 30 minutes of the release time noted above.
All after school activities and practices will be cancelled for this afternoon.
We will continue to monitor the forecast throughout the day and early morning for Friday and we will communicate with you should any of these plans need to change.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we prepare for the impending winter weather.
It is National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, and at #BobcatNation, we are thankful for these heroes who serve in our community and schools every day to keep us safe!
Sharing our reminders from Monday with a couple of notes...
Please know we have several key people who watch the weather diligently. Any announcements of cancelations, delayed starts, early releases, etcetera will be announced AS SOON AS a decision is made. School administration will make these decisions as early as possible as they understand families are anxious and planning.
Please have a plan in place for your students should we experience any of these scenarios (early release, late start or cancelation).
Great job Berryville Spelling Bee participants! The top 15 will advance to the Carroll County Spelling Bee.

BMS Guardians, with winter weather at our door please make sure to have plans in place should school dismiss early. Please relay those plans to your student. This is not an announcement that we are dismissing early. Should we dismiss early you will receive a text and/or call from the school as soon as that decision is made. We will also announce it on Facebook. If you have changed your phone number please call the office (870-480-4633) and let us know . #BobcatNation
Make sure to check those backpacks this evening because we are sending report cards home today! #BobcatNation
Update:
The message we thought was "bogus" was actually a message sent from another district. The reason a few of our parents and guardians received that message was because they had (or have recently had) students in that district as well.
Because we use the same company, it came from the same number.
Good news is that our information has not been compromised, and only a few families received this information!
Original Message:
We have been notified that some parents & guardians received a message about a late start to the school day due to weather. We have not sent any messages regarding a late start or school closing. We have contacted the company we utilize for messaging, and they are working to resolve the issue.

Parents are welcome to attend and will need to check in at the front office of the high school as a visitor and make their way to the PAC before 9:00a.m. #BobcatNation
