Today, our CSD S.A.V.E. Club (Students Against Violence Everywhere) visited East Arcadia School to support “No One Eats Alone” Day. 🥪✨

This meaningful day, inspired by the work of #SandyHookPromise, promotes inclusion, connection, and looking out for one another. Our students helped create a welcoming space where everyone felt seen, valued, and included. A special shoutout to Ms. Boomhower for leading this initiative!

We are so proud of our Blue Devils for leading with kindness, building new friendships, and representing CSD so well. When we stand together, we make our schools stronger - piece by piece. 💙

🧪🌍 Today we eased back into learning after our inclement weather days with a hands-on plate tectonics cookie lab! Students modeled convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries, showing how Earth’s plates move and interact. A fun (and tasty!) way to warm back up our science brains while exploring the forces that shape our planet. 🍪✨

Bladen County Schools will operate on a 2 hour delay tomorrow, Thursday, February 5. While, road conditions have significantly improved, the National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for our area due to the possibility of freezing rain overnight. Therefore, out of an abundance of caution all Bladen County Schools and departments will operate on a 2 hour delay tomorrow.

If overnight or early morning conditions require a change to the delay, a decision will be made by 7 am.

We appreciate your cooperation as we prioritize the safety of our students and staff. We encourage everyone to closely monitor all communication channels for additional updates and look forward to seeing you tomorrow morning.

Bladen County Schools will continue with asynchronous remote learning tomorrow, Wednesday, February 4. District administrators have been in communication with the North Carolina Department of Transportation and Bladen County Emergency Services and there continues to be widespread concern with ice on secondary roads.

All events and activities scheduled for Wednesday, February 4 are canceled.

Asynchronous learning means that students will work independently on assignments that teachers have either posted in Canvas, Google Classroom, or sent home with students Friday. Staff will receive information regarding work schedules from their supervisors.

A decision regarding school operations for Thursday, February 5 will be made no later than 6 pm Wednesday.

We appreciate your cooperation as we prioritize the safety of our students and staff, and we encourage everyone to closely monitor all communication channels for additional updates.

Thank you and please stay warm!
