What name do you prefer for your student (s) in the BRS 2023-2024 yearbook?
In order for the yearbook staff to make any changes to your student (s) legal name (in the form of a nickname/preferred name), we must have permission. Please click the link to complete the Google Form telling us the preferred name that you wish to be used in the yearbook.
The form deadline is December 21st, 2023 to be completed. The yearbook staff must have this by then in order to meet their deadlines.
If we do not receive a request for a name change by December 21st, then the staff will proceed with using your student (s) name as it is listed in Power School (first and last name).
Thank you for understanding.
Respectfully,
Mrs. Critcher

'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.
