We have amazing students and staff members who are helping serve at our shelters. This is what community is all about 💗








Because there are still so many families in need and our infrastructure is still being worked on: power, water, sewer, internet, roadways, buildings and rescue efforts. YCS will remain closed all next week for students, faculty & staff.
Any employee who is able to come work at our schools should contact your principal or report to Blue Ridge Elementary for possible assignments.
Anybody who needs supplies can pick them up at West Burnsville Baptist Church, Altec, local fire departments and Burnsville, Blue Ridge or Cane River Schools.


Go to your local fire department for supplies & assistance. Any staff or families that are venturing out can stop by any school except Micaville Elementary & MHHS to leave a message so we know you are safe.


Schools are closed all week. We will give an update by 4pm on Thursday. Staff who are able to safely travel may try to contact your principal or report to Blue Ridge Elementary or Cane River Middle School to help work.


An emergency shelter will be open in the cafeteria of South Toe Elementary school for tonight for anyone that may need assistance.


School Closed Thursday, Sept 26th & Friday, Sept 27th


As we prepare for the upcoming storms, please use caution and take measures to stay safe.
