Blue Ridge Families,
Please accept my apology for not getting this email out sooner. Students in grades 3-5 are currently doing a Benchmark practice test. This is a practice test in preparation for the WVGSA. They are testing by grade levels, so all students are not testing every day. Our schedule is modified with students who are testing having a different lunch time and specials in the afternoon. Thank you for your continued support and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out.
5th grade Parents Only,
On Tuesday, February 11, 2025, Harpers Ferry Middle School will be having a scheduling night for rising 6th graders. Your 5th grader will be bringing home a letter this afternoon with the details. It starts at 5:00pm in their auditorium. This is an exciting time. I know your students will be excited.
