Dear Families,

Due to a water main break, we are having to close Blue Ridge for the remainder of the day. Student transportation will begin at 12:00 noon, following lunch service for all students. Alpha best parents need to also pick up their students as soon as possible.

If you are unable to meet your child and need them to go home with another student, we require:

An email from you giving permission for your child to leave with another parent/student.

An email from the receiving parent confirming they will be responsible for your child.

Additionally, Parent-Teacher Conferences will be rescheduled due to today’s closure. We will follow up soon with new dates and times. Please stay tuned for further information regarding tomorrow.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Dear Blue Ridge Families,
I hope this message finds you well. I want to extend my sincerest apologies for not including important information in our previous communication regarding the upcoming Costume Parade.

We are excited to welcome families to join us this Friday to view the parade and celebrate with our students. Parents should plan to arrive at 1:35 PM, as the parade will begin promptly at 1:40 PM.

Please gather in the bus loop, where you will be able to watch your student(s) walk from one building to the next. While we wish we could invite you inside, parents will not be able to view the parade from inside the school. However, from the bus loop, you’ll have the opportunity to see your child a couple of times as they make their way through the parade route.

We truly appreciate your understanding and support. We look forward to seeing you on Friday and know the students will have a very fun and festive day!

Warm regards,
Sybil Terry

BRE families,

Hope everyone is ready for the weekend!
It’s been a busy week here at school, and we’re looking forward to another great week ahead. Please take a moment to review our newsletter for important updates and upcoming events.

Today, we had to place both buildings on a HOLD, which means students remained in their classrooms and stayed out of the hallways. This was necessary while paramedics attended to a medical situation involving a student. We’re happy to report that the student is doing well, and we look forward to welcoming them back to school on Monday.

Thank you for your understanding and support.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Good Evening,

I want to take a moment to share how excited we are to welcome our three remaining teachers to the team:

Ms. Fernandez-Logarta – 5th Grade
Mr. Lee Magbanua – 3rd Grade
Ms. Abigail Reyes – 1st Grade

They will be stopping by tomorrow afternoon to meet their students, and their first full day will be this Friday. Each of them will also be reaching out to parents to introduce themselves personally.

We are thrilled to have them join our school community and look forward to the wonderful contributions they will bring to their classrooms.

BRE Families,

I hope this message finds you well.

As part of our ongoing commitment to student safety and preparedness, we conducted two important practice drills this morning:

Fire Drill – This drill helps ensure that students and staff know how to evacuate the building quickly and safely in case of an emergency.

Lockdown Drill – This drill is designed to prepare our school community for situations that require us to secure the building and remain in place.

Please note that these are practice drills only, and there is no cause for concern. Our goal is to help students feel confident and prepared, and we will guide them through each step with care and reassurance.

If you have any questions or concerns about these drills, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for your continued support in keeping our school safe.

Warm regards,
Sybil Terry
Principal
