Bellows Free Academy

Varsity softball vs. Richford is postponed today, Thurs. 4/18. Makeup is tomorrow, 4/19 at 4:30pm. Day off today. No practice.

March 12, 2023 Last week, the Champlain Valley Superintendents Association (CVSA) met to review our decision to have school in session on April 8th, the solar eclipse day. Since our initial decision to have a half day, we have received more information trying to keep any traffic off the road that day from the state of Vermont and other Public Safety offices. The superintendents determined that each county of superintendents would decide whether the school would be open or closed. Due to the fact that our schools are in the path of the totality and will attract a large number of eclipse observers, the Franklin and Grand Isle Superintendents have determined that on April 8th, we will close schools and make up the day at the end of the year, very similar to a snow day. Thank you for your support and understanding.

D3 BOYS BASKETBALL QUARTERFINAL INFORMATION Congratulations to our #7 BFA Fairfax Varsity boys basketball team on their win over Green Mountain last night! Their next game will be a D3 Quarterfinal matchup at #2 Thetford Academy on Saturday, February 24th. Game time is 2pm. Tickets can be purchased on site at Thetford, doors open at 1:30pm. Good luck!

BFA will be on a two hour delay this morning. The town is down plow truck drivers and will not be able to have the roads cleared in time to ensure safe travel by our buses and students at our regular time. All other FWSU schools will be on a regular schedule.

The JV/V boys basketball games vs Stowe tonight 1/24 are postponed. Makeup TBD.

All FWSU Schools will be on a two hour delay due to uncertain road conditions and power outages. Please be safe and stay tuned for updates.

Out of an abundance of caution, we are cancelling all after school and evening activities at any Franklin West school (Fairfax, Fletcher, and Georgia) today. We are monitoring river conditions for potential impact on travel in the morning. We will update you as we have new information.

The Fairfax Board meeting this evening will be fully remote due to a lack of internet at the school.

All Franklin West schools (Fletcher, Fairfax and Georgia) will be closed today due to the morning commute snow rates and continued snow throughout the day. Enjoy the snow day.

Due to poor field conditions, today's 11am boys soccer game at Winooski has been moved to South Burlington HS. Still 11am kickoff. Good luck!

We appreciate our principals every day, but particularly during Principal Appreciation month!
