Parents and visitors to BRIJHS, we need your help! On McKinley Street we have signage posted that traffic is one way (north) during the hours of 7:30 a.m.-9:00 a.m. and again from 2:30 p.m.- 4:00 p.m. This is in effort to keep all students, staff, and visitors safe during our busiest times of day. Thanks for cooperating with the posted plan! #br_u_knighted

BRIJHS is looking forward to hosting grandparents for our Thanksgiving meal tomorrow. We were pleased to see so many RSVPs!
As a reminder, serving begins at 11 a.m. If you are running behind, do not fret. Your student will join you when you arrive. We have plenty of goodies thanks to our hard working cafeteria staff!
