Bristol’s Virginia Intermediate School prepares for first student class
BRISTOL, Va. (WJHL) — The new Virginia Intermediate School is about ready to welcome its first class of students. This latest addition to Bristol Virginia Public Schools (BVPS) will house the school system’s second through fifth graders.
Virginia Intermediate School l is the result of a consolidation process. The school system closed three elementary schools: Highland View Elementary School, Washington-Lee Elementary School and Stonewall Jackson Elementary School.
“Over the past decade, as we’ve looked at the cost of keeping our aging schools renovated and up to standard, the decision was made several years ago to align our resources and work towards having a brand new school that would consolidate all of our students into one elementary campus,” said BVPS superintendent, David Scott.
Virginia Intermediate School is located in Sunset Park, next to Van Pelt Elementary School.
This elementary school is also undergoing changes. It has been renamed Virginia Primary School and houses the school system’s pre-kindergarten through first graders.
The intermediate school will have pieces of the three former elementary schools in its framework, educating some former students and having brick pieces from the schools.
A brick from each school was placed at the corner of the new building.
“As we have come into this new building, one of the things that we wanted to make sure that we took stock of was the history that we’re bringing with us,” said Scott. “Even though we are beginning a new chapter, we’re very proud and very fond of the history that we’ve had in those other schools.”
The intermediate school is the first new school in BVPS in the last 50 years.
Scott is excited for students to experience the new building and have new learning opportunities, such as a rotation in the STEM lab. The intermediate school is handicap accessible, including the playground between grade wings. Plus, the building includes safety features such as a two-entrance process and special locks on the doors.

Scott hopes the school can be seen as an opportunity to provide the best education to all students in the city.
“We have brought together so many resources,” said Scott. “We have such great new technology in place in our school. And I think there’s something special about walking into a new school and feeling that the community believes that your education is important.”
Teachers continue to put the final touches on their classrooms before students arrive for their first day on August 14. Scott said the school system is communicating with parents about the best traffic route to take to the school on the first day.
The city council decides on the future of the closed elementary schools. Council member Neal Osborne told News Channel 11 that the properties were discussed in a meeting Tuesday, but no decisions have been made yet.
Virginia Intermediate School will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Aug. 8 from 4 to 5:30 p.m.

Listeria outbreak tied to soft cheese kills 1, sickens others across Virginia, several other states, FDA says
(NewsNation) – A Maryland dairy has recalled all of its requesón/soft ricotta cheese after federal health officials linked the product to a Listeria outbreak that has killed one person and hospitalized eight others across three states. An FDA investigation is ongoing.
Clover Hill Dairy, based in Mechanicsville, Maryland, issued a voluntary recall June 3 for all of the requeson and soft ricotta products it makes.
The recalled products were distributed to retailers in North Carolina, New York, Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey and Washington, DC. The FDA said the cheese may be sold under different brand names, so consumers should check the manufacturer permit number on the package. Look for “24-128” to identify a Clover Hill product.
Nine people have been infected with the same strain of Listeria across Maryland, New York and Virginia, with illness onset dates spanning March 2023 through May 2026, according to the FDA investigation. One person in Maryland has died.
An investigation into the outbreak revealed that two of seven people interviewed by the FDA specifically reported eating requesón from Clover Hill Dairy.
That investigation began after two people from the same family in New York fell ill in May. Both had bought requesón from a local retailer, and lab testing confirmed the Listeria strain in the cheese matched the strain making people sick.
Further testing traced the cheese back to Clover Hill Dairy, and an unopened 18-pound bucket of the company’s requeson also tested positive.
The Maryland Department of Health has suspended Clover Hill Dairy’s operating license. The FDA said its investigation is ongoing and additional products may be recalled.
Anyone who has the cheese at home should throw it away and thoroughly clean and sanitize any surfaces it touched. Listeria can survive in the refrigerator and spread to other foods.
People at highest risk of severe illness include pregnant women, adults 65 and older, and those with weakened immune systems. Symptoms can appear anywhere from the same day to 10 weeks after eating contaminated food and may include fever, muscle aches, nausea, headache and stiff neck. Those experiencing symptoms should contact a healthcare provider.
