We’re excited to introduce Rooms — our brand-new, safe and easy way to stay in the loop!
What is Rooms? Rooms brings ALL school communication into one place. Message teachers, get event updates and celebrate student success — all from our new, BCS mobile app.
Why You’ll Love It:
· Everything in ONE spot – no more juggling multiple apps or logins!
· Text notifications – never miss a message, even before you download the app.
· Safe & secure – built-in privacy tools keep communication protected.
· Celebrate students – teachers can share updates and behavior points to recognize achievements!
Mark Your Calendars: Rooms launches November 17 as our main tool for teachers, coaches and staff to connect with families and login information will be included.
In the meantime, and to avoid login issues, please ensure that Skyward is updated with the most current mobile phone number(s) and email address(es). Login to Skyward to view your information, and contact your child’s school if you need to make a change.

Coach Carter and Mrs. Smith’s RISE class have been exploring cultures, traditions, and foods from around the world — celebrating what makes each of us unique! 🌎✨
During October and November, students learned about Día de Muertos and shared their own family traditions and favorite foods. The Recipe of the Month was an Easy Pastel de Tres Leches (Three Milk Cake) — starting with a simple box cake mix, each student added their own creative twist in flavor and design! 🎂💡
Through this project, we learned that everyone brings something special to the table — no matter who they are. ❤️ #CascadePride #RISEClass #DiaDeMuertos #TresLechesCake #CulturalConnections

Honoring Ed Gray - a Legacy of Learning and Leadership
Today, we remember and honor the life of Mr. Ed Gray, a remarkable educator and leader who dedicated more than 45 years to education, including Bedford County Schools. From teacher to principal, supervisor, assistant superintendent, and finally superintendent, he devoted his entire career to nurturing students, supporting educators and strengthening our community.
Education wasn’t just his profession — it was his passion and life’s calling. His commitment to excellence, compassion for others, and vision for the future of our schools left an enduring mark on countless lives. Though he retired in 2011, his influence continues to be felt by many because of his leadership.
Rest in peace, Mr. Gray, and thank you for your lifetime of service and dedication.
