Welcome back packets have been mailed to all families. If you have not received this packet yet please contact the school as soon as possible.
The student/parent contact and emergency form was a part of this mailing. It is extremely important to review this information and note any changes. Please have your child bring this to school on the first day.
Another important document included in the mailing was the daily health check. Students will need to present this paper each day to enter the bus or the school. Each student will receive a packet of the daily health checks during the first week of school. These daily health checks will be the “ticket in” each day.
Thank you for your continued cooperation and attention!
In less than a week we will be ready to welcome all of our students back to the halls of BCS!
As a reminder, students will be expected to wear a clean face covering daily. Students and staff will wear masks on the bus, in the hallways, in the bathroom and in any other situation where social distancing cannot occur.
Appropriate face coverings will follow the same guidelines as outlined in our code of conduct for student dress code.
All of our students will be provided with one complementary neck gaiter on the first day of school.

The first two conference days with faculty and staff have concluded and I can tell you with confidence we are excited and ready to welcome our students and your children back to school. We know with required changes to procedures there will be a period of adjustment, however, we also know that BCS will always be a place where children are placed first, provide great care, support and learning opportunities. I can assure you the most contagious thing found in our halls and classrooms will be our attitude. Go Braves!
Getting excited for the start of school! Can’t wait to get our amazing students back on September 10th.
A reminder to Parents & Guardians, please help us prepare to reopen this fall by completing this brief reopening survey: https://brdfrd.com/3xvsa
Two weeks from today we will open our doors to BCS students! We are so excited to have students return to school five days a week. The 2020-2021 school year is going to be different, but still great. Welcome back packets have been mailed out and school supply lists are included. Students will need to wear a mask on the bus and to enter the school. All students will need to have their temperature taken each morning before school. If you are in need of a thermometer or mask please contact the nurses office.

The Bradford Central School District is seeking (2) long term substitute teachers. One position is in elementary education and another position in elementary special education. The ideal candidates will possess New York certification in these areas, however all teaching certifications will be considered. The anticipated start date for both positions is September 2, 2020.. As these are long term substitute positions, the successful candidates will be paid in accordance with Step 1 of the BTA contract and are eligible for full benefits.
Interested applicants should send a letter of interest, resume and any other appropriate documents to Katheryn Ellison, Principal, as soon as possible. Questions regarding these positions can be referred to Mrs. Ellison by telephone at (607) 583-4616 or by email at Kellison@bradfordcsd.org.
We are very proud of the work of our faculty and staff in helping us create a school reopening plan which has met the safety standard of Schuyler County and other local agencies
Dear BCS Families,
I wanted to reassure all of our families that the Bradford CSD has submitted its reopening plan to the New York State Education Department and the New York State Department of Health. Today a list was shared showing 107 school districts across the state as having not submitted plans. We are working with these state agencies to make sure our District is removed from this list. A copy of our reopening plan can be found on the District’s website and has been posted in this location since July 31, 2020. Thank you.
John Marshall
Superintendent
The district will be holding three School Reopening Forums on Wednesday, August 12 at 6PM, Wednesday, August 19 at 6PM, and Thursday, August 20 at 12PM. The meeting on August 20 at 12PM was intentionally scheduled during the day to help accommodate those whose schedules might not allow joining the forums in the evenings. The purpose of these forums is for the district to provide information to students, parents, and the community about school reopening and to answer any questions. The forums are open to the public and we encourage you to join us to learn more about how the district is preparing to reopen school in the safest and most effective manner.
If you have a question that you would like to have answered during one of the forums, please complete this short form: https://brdfrd.com/2F7Mvwp. There will also be an opportunity to ask a question during the forums through live chat.
The meeting links will be posted for each forum on the day of the event. The links will be posted on the district website and on social media.
