Big Reds Community,
Please see our COVID-19 "At a Glance" Plan to reopen, restart, and reconnect. Our goal is to begin the school year in GREEN and as traditional as possible. With 40 days until our opening, circumstances could change. You will also find a letter from the Belmont County Department of Health in regards to school openings. We appreciate your patience and flexibility throughout this time. Go Big Reds!

We are encouraging students and families to contact their physician if there are any medical or testing questions. We will send an update with instructions for the restart of activities as the date nears.
