Today, September 15, begins remote learning for Blue and Silver learners.

When using the form, please enter only one student name per form. Thank you for your help in doing this daily and accurately. #br_u_knighted
Blue Ridge High School Blue and Silver learners, please see the linked document that gives information about picking up materials and the learning schedule for the next nine remote learning days. #br_u_knighted https://5il.co/l0px
The staff at BRIJHS has worked very hard today to come up with a plan for the next two weeks of remote instruction.
All students in grades 4-8 will have something to physically pick up at school. We will have tables set up with these items from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. tomorrow (Tuesday 9/15). If you are not able to come during that window, we will set an additional time this week.
Please note, all students will have schedule times during the day that they should log on and receive direct instruction from their teachers. If a student does not attend these Google Meets, they will miss the direct instruction and may have a hard time completing their assignments. Please check your email for links to the schedules.
Schneider Elementary materials pick-up is today, 9/14/2020, from 1-3 p.m. Classroom teachers who have materials to be picked up include: all Kindergarten, all first grade, Mrs. K Wilkinson, and Mrs. Rumple. All other classroom teachers will communicate with students, but do not have materials to be picked up. If today’s pick-up time does not work for you, please contact the office at (309)928-2611. We will send additional messages if future pick-up dates are needed. Thank you.
As a reminder, today, September 14, is a remote learning planning day. Blue and Silver learners will not need to take attendance, nor will they be given any learning activities. Teachers will use this day to prepare for our next nine days of remote learning. Thank you. #br_u_knighted
BR Parents of Blue and Silver learners, this is a reminder of the importance of documenting attendance on days that your student is scheduled to work remotely. On the three remote days each week, please use the attendance link on the district webpage to record your student's attendance. We ask for your help in using the form multiple times each day if you need to record attendance for multiple students. This will assist us in keeping accurate records. Thank you.
