Recently, students in the Southern Berkshires returned to the classroom. The schools in the region have created back-to-school plans to help ensure student safety.
 
 
SBRSD reopened with a hybrid model (part in-class and part remote), with most students in class 2 days per week and learning remotely 3 days per week.
 
The complete SBRSD Reopening Plan can be found here.
 
The SBRSD includes Mount Everett Regional School, Undermountain Elementary School, New Marlborough Central School and South Egremont School.
 
 
BHRSD has also reopened on the hybrid model.
 
The complete BHRSD Reopening Plan can be found here.
 
Additionally, a video on Muddy Brook's reopening can be found here:
 
BHRSD includes Muddy Brook Elementary School, Monument Valley Regional Middle School and Monument Mountain Regional High School.
 
 
For both Southern Berkshire Regional School District and Berkshire Hills Regional School District, the hybrid model allows students to be split into cohorts of either Monday/Tuesday classes or Thursday/Friday classes with space for social distancing. Some higher-needs students are in classes for 4 days per week.
 
 
Students at Farmington River can be either fully in-school or fully remote. The majority of students are on the fully in-school schedule at this time.
 
More information can be found on the FRRSD website here.
 
 
 
 
Students at Berkshire Waldorf School have in-person learning with outdoor classrooms for students.
 
Plans for indoor learning are being developed, and the overall 2020-21 Health and Safety Plan is online here.

Dion Brown Announces Transfer to Boston College

iBerkshires.com Sports
It will be a shorter trip for Berkshire County basketball fans who want to see former Monument Mountain basketball star Dion Brown play home games next winter.
 
On Wednesday afternoon, Brown announced via the social media platform “X” that he is transferring to Boston College.
 
“I am proud to announce my decision to further my academic and athletic career at Boston College,” Brown tweeted. “I am hopeful for the future! Go Eagles.”
 
In 2023-24, Brown, then a sophomore at Boston College, was named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches’ Division I All-District Second team.
 
Brown was a first-team all-America East performer for the Retrievers last winter, breaking the school’s sophomore record for points with 607. He was third in the America East with 19 points per game and sixth in rebounding with 7.8 rebounds per game for UMBC, which went 11-21, losing to UMass-Lowell in the first round of the conference tournament. 
 
B.C. went 20-16 last winter, falling to the University of Virginia in the quarter-finals of the ACC tournament and advancing to the first round of the National Invitational Tournament.
