May I take a minute to tell you what goes on when we have crazy cold temps like this? I am not exaggerating when I say there have been over 100 messages with surrounding superintendents and district personnel that started many hours ago. Please know that no inclement weather decision is an easy one. Tuesday, January 21 will be an E-Learning Day for Blue Ridge. For games , practices, and CEO Experience Day, students will be contacted when those decisions have been finalized. Please be safe. We'll see you back in person on Wednesday when we expect the temperatures to be on the rise. #br_u_knighted
