February 26th-March 8th
Coming Soon during Read Across America Week!
By participating in a Read A thon your students will help Blowing Rock School Media Center add many needed updates. It lasts a full two weeks. Please be on the lookout for a flier that your child has with their login information.
Your child receives a portion of the pledge donation to shop in an online store. The prizes will be sent to me and I will distribute them. Donations are a flat fee. You do not pay per book read or minutes read.
Funds earned from the Read A Thon will go towards adding titles and updating categories in our Non-Fiction section such as countries, animals and technology. More fiction and picture books will be added as well. The increasingly popular Graphic novels series section will be increased. I will also be adding more Maker space items to our existing resources.

'Say Something" Program
Over the coming weeks, Watauga County Schools will adopt a state-approved reporting program called the Say Something Anonymous Reporting System. The system will allow students, staff, and teachers to anonymously report issues of concern regarding student and school safety. Middle and high school students will receive information from their schools starting next week about the reporting system and how to submit reports.
Students will have access to a mobile app that will allow them to submit tips to a national crisis center staffed 24/7 by trained counselors. The crisis center staff will triage, categorize and deliver tip information to local law enforcement and school staff who will then be able to investigate to determine the level of concern or threat. Tips will be categorized as either “life safety” or “non-life safety” based on the information provided. The Crisis Center will notify school staff and the local 911 dispatch after-hours when tips are life-threatening or in cases of imminent threat.
Tips can be sent in via the web, a phone hotline, or through the app – including photos and videos.
Parents are strongly encouraged to discuss the appropriate use of the reporting system with their children and to be aware if the app is loaded onto phones or other personal electronic devices. Parents with questions about the new system are welcome to call the school any time to talk with our school counselor.Additional information about the Say Something Anonymous Reporting System can be found online at SaySomething.net. -

Sports Physical Reminder
REMINDER!
All students who wish to tryout for sports this upcoming school year must have completed an updated sports physical. The physical must have been completed within 395 days of the first day of tryouts for whatever sport they are participating in. Students who do not have a physical WILL NOT be allowed to tryout.
Most doctors have the sport physical form on hand, but if they do not, you can find one on the Blowing Rock Volleyball webpage:https://www.

Transportation Changes
Whenever possible, transportation changes need to be made before 2:00, please. This ensures we relay the information to the teacher and student before release. Thank you so much.
Congratulations, Mr. Sukow! Principal of the Year 2022
