Dear Huskie Students and Families,

It's my sincerest hope all of you are at home, staying safe and healthy!  To the parents and relatives of our Huskie students working on the frontlines during this time of emergency, please know we truly appreciate all of you and the services you're providing all of us in these very challenging times.

Earlier today, Governor Whitmer held a press conference communicating the continuance of our school year.  The details of her message were to close all school buildings for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year delivering face-to-face instruction.  Although this is emotionally straining on many levels, we are empowered to provide support and educational opportunities for our students.  We are working diligently at this time to create those plans of action as we learn more about the requirements of the Executive Order.

Please know we are working collaboratively as a staff to prepare a new model of the delivery of instruction.

Please be assured Breckenridge Schools will continue to work to support families who don't have the connection or devices required to complete online learning or when an online approach is not appropriate.  We will make sure your students are provided quality educational experiences.

Breckenridge Schools continues to work with our regional partners within Gratiot-Isabella RESD.  Our regional team ackowledges that "together we can achieve more!"  Consequently, please understand many meetings are taking place to provide support and educational services for your child.  Please be patient and provide us additional time to complete our plans moving forward.  More detailed information will be coming to you.

Please take a moment to complete the survey we are sending so we know your capabilities and needs.

Educationally yours.

Kimberly Thompson, Superintendent
