Blackstone-Millville Regional School District

As I just walked out of the office for the day and took in the surroundings I wanted to share that we are still here, we miss you all, and cannot wait for everyone to return.

Please see the link below for Monday & Wednesday food drop-off sites and times. Please outreach with any questions - thank you. https://www.bmrsd.net/o/bmrsd/page/covid-19-information--57

Wow! So impressed with our elementary students! They are reading machines!! Just checked in on our MyON e-library. Look at these numbers! Our students have read almost 7,800 books! And 2,347 hours of “eyes on text” - YAHOO! Keep going, Young BMR Scholars!

Per the Governor's executive order announced a bit earlier today, all schools will be closed beyond the initial April 6th date to now Monday, May 4th. I will be back in touch Friday with an update on our learning plans and food service moving forward.

Preparing our mobile hotspots for delivery.

We are ALL in this together! The DeFalco boys hard at work at their in home learning stations :). We got this!

I’m so impressed by our BMRSD Leadership Team! This was today’s Leadership Team meeting. Students, families and staff: we are trying like heck to make this the best possible experience for everyone. Blessed to be leading such a dedicated team of educators. Hang in there!

Day 2 of working on learning plans from home. Hang in there as we continue to adjust. I’ll be sending out a message to all families later today with some plan modifications that will help. We got this but must stay positive. Remember our food drop off schedule and come see us!

We have the most amazing staff in BMRSD. Fed about 100 kids today. What a humbly site to see our entire team come together. Thanks so much!

As a reminder, our mobile food stations are out now at Rathbun St and Millville Bike Path Lot. Come pick up breakfast and lunch!

Gov. Baker has officially closed all Massachusetts schools for 3 weeks. As of now, BMRSD will be closed until the week of April 6th. Follow the Gov’s recommendations around social distancing. We must do our part! Please stay tuned for an update tomorrow, Monday, 3/16.

Attn BMRSD: Over the next 2 wks we will be offering free “grab and go” meals in our towns. Mon & Wed 9:30a-10:30a we will be at Rathbun St/Turbesi Park, BS & Hope St/bike path lot, MV. 10:45a-11:45a we will be at the BS Fire Station. You can pick up at the middle school also.

Please listen to the attached msg re: school closure from 3-16-3/27. https://vimeo.com/397504510

Tomorrow, Friday, 3/13 BMRSD will be closed for students but open for ALL staff. We will be meeting and planning incase we encounter a long-term school closure situation due to the Coronavirus - we hope we do not need to be closed long-term but we MUST be prepared.

Check out a great National publication written about the work of our District’s Literacy Committee! So proud of our staff! http://bit.ly/BMRSDcasestudy

Thanks for coming out tonight, Grade 8 families!! It is so great to showcase our incredible high school and programs! Can’t wait to get our 8th graders in as freshmen! What amazing opportunities await them! Yeah, Class of 2024!

CORRECTION: The Empty Bowl event was put on by our Nation Honor Society. So sorry for the mistake. Thank you, NHS, for putting together such a wonderful fundraiser for our Blackstone Food Pantry!

Thanks, BMRHS STUCO! What a great Empty Bowl fundraiser!! We are so lucky to have such a giving community!

“Test driving” a biomed challenge! Ms. Breen saves the day!!!!
