Blue Ridge will join the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) in the eleventh 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/1odmb Students and teachers will take their survey between February 13 and March 31. If you would prefer that your student does not take the survey, please complete and return this form: https://5il.co/1ocyk and return it to your student’s school by February 10. The parent survey is open and will remain open through March 31. 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

Good morning! Our team has been preparing parking lots and sidewalks since early this morning. Our drivers will be using extra caution. Please remind any young drivers in your household to do the same so we all arrive safely this morning. # br_ u_ knighted
BR parents, we have a change of plans this Wednesday morning. The conditions are changing very quickly and we believe it is safer to move to an E Learning Day. Students will learn from home. Please see the district webpage, click on the menu button, and select links for parents, where you’ll find what you need for each grade level’s learning today. You may also message your child’s teacher if you have any questions. Thank you for your understanding! #br_u_knighted
Breakfast and lunch menu items for tomorrow (1/26) are muffins and orange chicken. YUM!!
Good Wednesday morning! We are in session this morning. Road crews will be taking care of the roads throughout the morning. Afternoon activities will be determined midday and communicated as soon as a decision has been made. Thank you for your patience and understanding! #br_u_knighted
Did someone say snow's coming?? Parents, we are asking students to prepare for the possibility of inclement weather by bringing devices and/or supplies home this evening in case we cannot be on campus tomorrow. We will be communicating our decision before 6 am via our app, website, text, local radio, and television. If we call an E-Learning Day, please visit the district webpage, click on Links for Parents, where you will find E-Learning links by grade level. https://www.blueridge18.org/page/links-for-parents. Above all, stay safe, and we'll send updates as they are available. #br_u_knighted

Our weekend is longer for a very special reason, which is to remember Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. A quote from his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech in 1964 rings true yet today. "Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love." May we continue to learn.
