Blue Ridge is joining the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) in the eleventh statewide survey of school climate and learning conditions. The survey provides a unique opportunity for 4th-12th grade students, teachers and parents to have a voice in improving their schools. The parent survey will remain open through March 31. You may access the parent survey here: http://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/survey/parent/ . These surveys will serve as an opportunity for schools to reflect on progress since the last statewide implementation. We highly encourage all parents to make their voices heard to impact positive growth in our schools. #br_u_knighted
