📚⚖️ Learning, leading and preparing for the future of education!

Members of the Bedford County Schools Board of Education recently attended the TSBA Summer Law Institute Conference in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. The conference provided an opportunity to stay informed on important legal updates and continue learning about the policies and responsibilities that guide effective school board leadership.

Ongoing professional learning helps school board members stay informed and prepared to support students, staff and schools across Bedford County. 📖🎓

Good afternoon! This is Rebecca Tidwell, principal of Cascade Middle School. We're calling to share an important update regarding state documentation requirements for the 2026–2027 school year. All students must have a current proof of residence dated July 1, 2026, or later on file. For a list of acceptable proof of residence documents and additional enrollment information, please visit the Bedford County Schools website, click Schools, then How to Enroll. To help families complete these requirements, the Cascade Middle office will be open from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on July 27th, 28th, and 29th. Documents may also be submitted on July 30th during Open House from 3:30-5:30 p.m. Please submit all required documentation no later than August 7th. Students who do not have the required documents on file by that date will not be able to remain at school and will need to be picked up. Any missed time will be considered an unexcused absence until the required documentation has been received. Proof of residence may be emailed to Mrs. Brandi Giel at gielb@bedfordk12tn.net. Additionally, all incoming 7th grade students need to bring an updated immunization certificate to the school. Thank you for your attention to this important matter. We appreciate your help in getting these requirements completed before the start of the school year. Enjoy the rest of your summer, and we look forward to seeing everyone soon!

🌟 A Strong Start to a New School Year! 🌟

This morning, our #BedfordCountySchools Central Office team gathered for breakfast with Superintendent Tim Harwell to kick off the new school year with a message of purpose, unity and a clear vision for the year ahead. 🍎📚

At the heart of the message was a clear priority: our #students. As we move forward, we are committed to working together with purpose to advance our shared mission and support #student success. The Central Office plays an important role in supporting the work happening across our schools, and we recognize that how we lead, serve and treat one another matters as we work toward our shared goals.

As we work toward becoming an exemplary district, our focus will include three key areas:

🎯 Improving K–3 Literacy
🎯 Middle School Academic Success
🎯 College and Career Readiness

Together, we are moving forward with purpose, focused on what matters most: our students and their future. 🚀📖🎓

🎉 Investing in Our Leaders, Strengthening Our Schools! 🎉

Today, our principals, assistant principals and supervisors came together to prepare for the 2026–2027 school year by completing Youth Mental Health First Aid training.

Led in person by three trainers from the Tennessee Department of Education, participants completed the course, passed the certification exam and are now officially Youth Mental Health First Aid certified! 💚

This nationally recognized training equips our leaders with the skills to recognize, understand and respond to signs of mental health challenges in young people, helping create safe, supportive and caring school communities.

We're proud of our leaders for investing in professional growth and #student well-being as we prepare for an outstanding 2026–2027 school year! 💡📚
