BCS Families—

Due to continued concerns with travel conditions in our area, Bladen County Schools will continue with asynchronous remote learning on Tuesday, February 3.

Asynchronous learning means that students will work independently on assignments that teachers have either posted in Canvas, Google Classroom, or sent home with students Friday. Staff will receive information regarding work schedules from their supervisors.

All events and activities scheduled for Tuesday, February 3 are canceled.

A decision regarding school operations for Wednesday, February 4 will be made no later than 6 pm Tuesday, February 3.

We appreciate your cooperation as we prioritize the safety of our students and staff, and we encourage everyone to closely monitor all communication channels for additional updates.

Thank you and please stay warm!

Yesterday’s Blood Connection blood drive at West Bladen High School was a powerful reminder of what it means to take care of others.

Because of our students, staff, and community donors, we surpassed our goal and collected even more donations than we did at our last Blood Connection drive. That matters in a real way. Every unit of blood can help someone fighting for their life, a trauma victim after an accident, a patient in surgery, a mother experiencing complications, or a child receiving ongoing treatment. In those moments, blood is not something that can be made or replaced. It has to be given.

Thank you to everyone who stepped up to donate and to those who helped make the drive happen. You did more than meet a goal. You helped save lives.
