Good morning, BR Families! We wanted to let you know that the K-5 YZone program has been cancelled this week, and possibly next week, due to extenuating circumstances. Registered families will be notified when the program is able to continue and we will announce through these same channels as well. We apologize for any inconvenience. #br_u_knighted
Due to the snowfall and drifting conditions, we believe the roads to be unsafe for travel tomorrow, Feb. 16. We also believe that the drivers will not be able to deliver meals, even later tomorrow. That said, we’re going to have an old fashioned snow day tomorrow, Tuesday, Feb. 16. Stay safe! #br_u_knighted
Good morning! The roads have been checked and they are passable, so we will be in session on campus today. There is some drifting on east west country roads; please exercise caution. All buses may run a little late. Bus 55 (Pink) may be impacted by a downed power line that is being worked on now, so it may be a little later than the other buses. Thank you. #br_u_knighted
A polite reminder to help us out...Blue Ridge is joining the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) in the ninth 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. Please see the informational letter here: https://5il.co/p5qp. The parent survey supplement opened on February 3, and will remain open through April 2. 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. You will receive reminders during the survey window as we highly encourage all our teachers, students, and parents to make their voices heard to impact positive growth in our schools. #br_u_knighted
The in-person meeting for Freshman Orientation this evening (February 10th) has been cancelled due to poor road conditions. We are going to continue this evening with a virtual meeting, set up in the 8th grade google classroom titled " 25 BRHS Counseling - Class of 2025." All 8th graders have access to this google classroom, and should sign in through their chromebooks for their parents so their parents can participate. Our virtual meeting will begin at 7 pm, as scheduled. A link to the google meet will be in the banner at the top of the google classroom, and will be directly texted to 8th grade parents. Parents with questions may email Leslie Hieronymus at lhieronymus@blueridge18.org #br_u_knighted
Parents and Guardians, we expect some delayed buses this afternoon due to the weather. Safety is our top priority. Thanks for your understanding. #br_u_knighted
