Good afternoon and Happy New Year! A few reminders since we start second semester tomorrow, Jan. 3, 2022. If you are a Blue Ridge student, they are currently virtual. There is no James Rumsey for tomorrow because Berkeley County schools are still on winter break. Since it is the start of second semester, please be sure you report to the correct classes. Your classes are the same unless you had a semester course. Please remember if you have tested positive for COVID, you need to contact Nurse Mandy Sites to report your illness. Please do not attend school if you have any symptoms. We look forward to seeing all you tomorrow. Remember we are still wearing our masks. Go Cougars!
