SUB TEACHERS-check this out!!! Pay increase effective 12.1.21.
Good afternoon! After conferring with the DeWitt Piatt Bi-County Health Department, we have learned that our Blue Ridge 5th grade is considered to be in outbreak status. With that information, and in consultation with ROE 17, we are considering today, tomorrow, and next Monday as remote learning days (versus E-Learning Days or Emergency Days). Principals have communicated with you about learning plans and those are still in place for the next two school days. Using remote days allows us to maintain our ability to use up to five E-Learning Days later this school year as needed.
We have also learned that our activities and athletics can still be held during remote instruction days with students who are not on the quarantine list. Coaches and sponsors will be reaching out to confirm plans. Strict adherence to masking protocols is required.
There were activities that were canceled today since some decisions had to be made prior to receiving the final word from the ROE. Thank you for your understanding and your patience!
Would you like your student to receive a free breakfast/lunch meal for Tuesday, 11.23.2021 and Monday, 11.29.2021? If so, please fill out the form by tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. Thank you! #br_u_knighted

BR Parents, Monday, November 22, 2021 is an E-Learning Day. Special education students have been contacted and invited to learn on campus. Any student learning on campus will receive a meal, but no order form needs to be completed. For those learning from home, we will have three options for meal service. Meals can be requested and picked up at BRIJHS or Schneider Elementary between noon and 1 p.m. Meals can also be requested and picked up from a Blue Ridge vehicle at the Bellflower Community Center between 11:30-11:50 a.m. If your student is learning remotely and you would like to request a meal free of charge, please fill out the request form by 9 a.m. on Monday, November 22, 2021. Thank you. #br_u_knighted

Hopefully you saw the message from Dr. Stanifer regarding our e-learning plan through November 29th. If you didn’t see that yet, please visit the district website (live feed). Some items specific for the high school -
Our class schedule will be based on a 2:20 dismissal.
Students are expected to attend each of their classes remotely.
Teachers will have a google meet set up for all of their classes.
The building will be open by 8 a.m. on Monday if students need to come pick up their chromebook and/or books.
Other assignments that have to be printed out/copied for students will be available in the commons by 9:30 a.m. Monday.
Students who have an IEP have the option to attend class at school, but they may also join their class remotely from home if you choose. We will provide transportation, of course, if requested.
As of this moment, these days are going to be considered as e-learning days. This means that extra-curricular activities may still meet/compete. That status is subject to change, pending our communication with the health department on Monday.
If you have a student with unique circumstances, please email me (beaster@blueridge18.org) and I will try to get you an answer by Sunday night.
Thanks for your flexibility and understanding throughout this semester!
