1st grade spent the day learning about subtraction number sentences using number bonds and rekenreks.
Beginning on Monday, October 14, 2024, the new gates constructed across Tiger Pride Circle between Blue Ridge High School and the Ag Shop will be closed in order to create a more safe and secure area for our students as they move between the main building and the ag and athletic facilities. This change means that cars will no longer be able to pass between these buildings for dropoff and pickup each day. Coaches and sponsors will share specific information with their students about where to enter for practices and activities. The locations of these gates are shown in the attached image. We know that this safety measure change will create a different traffic flow at BRHS than in the past. But, like every school district in Texas and in the nation, Blue Ridge ISD continues to take steps to keep all students and all staff members as safe as possible. We thank you for helping us achieve that safety goal.
We celebrated our nurse, Mrs. Ashlee Graham, today by awarding her a BRISD Challenge Coin! She prioritizes student and staff safety by jumping into action in a moments notice! Please join us in thanking her for her commitment to BRE and BRiSD!
Please be advised that emergency services have been called to Blue Ridge Elementary this afternoon to attend to a student medical issue.

Today, Mrs. Levi's class blended some reading and writing.
First, they read a story: At the Library.
Then, they drew a picture of a library and things that can be found at the library. A few drew our school librarian! Last, they practiced being good listeners and good speakers. Each child stood up in front of the class and showed their picture.
The genre this week is informational text (detail, details, details). The class looked and listened for as many details as possible.
With the book fair fast approaching BRE has decided to start our very own book fairy program to help make sure ALL students can get a book to call their own! For more information about the program and how to donate please click the link below or reach out to Mrs.Fulton.
