Did you know? You can look in Qmlativ to see if your student is signed up for SHIELD-IL screening. Once in Qmlativ, click on the green menu button (three lines) in the top left corner. Choose "Health" from the dropdown menu. Under Features, choose "Shield Consent." If you selected yes to SHIELD-IL testing, you will see a checkmark for your student and a date. If you selected "no" for SHIELD-IL testing, there is no checkmark present in the checkbox. You can still sign your student up for SHIELD-IL testing by completing the consent form found here: https://5il.co/xadn. Please return completed forms to your school nurse by Tuesday 9.7.2021 if you want to have COVID-10 screening available to your student at school. We hope to have our program operational in the next few weeks, so don't miss this opportunity to get in the database now. If you give consent after Tuesday, you will experience additional delays. Did you know? You can monitor COVID-19 numbers on our webpage. Click on the COVID-19 banner and scroll down to see the number of positive cases and the number of current quarantines.

Good morning! We have two messages to share. First is the annual safety letter that describes the evacuation procedure should that become necessary to use this year. Thank you for reading it carefully: https://5il.co/xmr0. Second, I wanted to thank those who have signed up for the SHIELD-IL screening program. We are still waiting for a few steps to be completed; we will communicate with you when we are ready to begin screening. Thanks and let's have a great full week as we return to our 3:10 dismissal time! #br_u_knighted

Good morning, Blue Ridge! The purple bus (#6) is running 10 minutes late this morning. Thank you for your understanding. Let's make our first Monday a great one! #br_u_knighted

The red bus was delayed on an earlier route and is running approximately 30 minutes behind this afternoon. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please consider applying for one of our open driver positions, which could greatly assist us with running timely routes. #br_u_knighted

Good afternoon! Our first three days of school are coming to a close. Next week we return to our regular 3:10 dismissal time.
We did have our first positive COVID-19 case at the high school today. With our current masking requirement being followed, there will be no close contacts from within our classrooms. If a situation exists in which your son/daughter is determined to be a close contact, you will be notified by the school district and then by the health department. We are thankful that with our first case the contact tracing is complete and there are no close contacts involved. #br_u_knighted
