The Jr. High students will be working hard to stay organized this school year! We will be implementing H.O.P.S. (Homework, Organization, and Planning Skills) to fill a need discovered last year. As you can see, we are already well on our way. Students gathered last week to support each other in putting together their new organization system, and 8th grade students are pictured in class utilizing their new binders.

Homecoming Update For Blue Ridge Families and Stakeholders

We want to inform you of an important update regarding our Homecoming Game. Our scheduled opponent for September 12, Danville Schlarman, has cancelled their football season due to low participation. As a result, the September 12 game is cancelled, and Homecoming festivities, including the parade and game, will now take place on October 17. Accordingly, the early dismissal originally planned for September 12 will be moved to October 17. This means September 12 will follow a regular 3:10 p.m. dismissal schedule, while October 17 will have a 2:20 p.m. dismissal. More information about Homecoming Week festivities will be coming soon!

Health and Wellness Reminders for Blue Ridge Families:

The health and safety of our students is a top priority, and we ask for your cooperation in following our important health and wellness guidelines.

All prescription medications must be brought to school by a guardian in the original pill bottle, signed in with the school nurse, and accompanied by a completed Medication Authorization Form from the student’s doctor.

Please keep your child home if they have a fever, vomiting, or diarrhea, and ensure they remain home until they have been symptom-free for at least 24 hours without medication.

If your child visits a doctor for strep throat, rash, pink eye, or any other contagious illness, a doctor’s note is required for their return to school.

We appreciate your partnership in keeping our school community healthy and safe!

As part of a team bonding activity, the BRHS Volleyball team made their own Puff Paint T-Shirts. Besides having fun, the team has been working hard this summer and is putting on a scrimmage on 8/21 from 5:30PM to 7:00PM to showcase the team. There will also be raffle baskets organized by Coach Dulle. Come on out to celebrate the start of a new season and cheer on our girls!
If you can't make it to the scrimmage, the first home game is next week on 8/25 starting at 5:30PM versus Iroquois West.

Blue Ridge Families,

Progress on the secure entry project is coming along! The Unit Office and High School entrances will be ready to go on the first day of school. The Schneider and BRIJHS entries will be installed soon. Here is some important information on how the new entry process will work.

Additionally, to simplify the entry process you can download the Raptor Safe App. This allows you to set up your profile, verify your identity, and enjoy fast, hassle-free sign-ins.

Use this link to download the app and get pre-authorized - https://shorturl.at/rhCK5

We understand this may be inconvenient for some, but our top priority is to create a safe learning environment for our students, staff, and stakeholders. Thank you for your patience during this transition!
