Parents/Guardians: Today's information on assignments, food delivery to Bellflower, Mansfield, & FC; and jetpacks for internet access is posted at https://5il.co/dtne. We are here to help in any way we can. If you need something, call your child's school. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
BR school counselors have been working hard to develop ways to reach the community and create a sense of unity. We created counseling facebook pages for each Blue Ridge School to post information related to the counseling departments, provide guidance and tips to parents during this difficult time, and for fun-filled challenges and team building (remotely, of course). We hope this provides connections with families and community in a light-hearted way - much needed during this period of social distancing.
