Fun Friday... Tomorrow, 5/9 is Disney Day. Dress in your favorite Disney outfits/shirts.
Blue Ridge Families: Please note we are having work done to repair the
cooling and heating systems in the Primary building. Unfortunately, while they are working on the systems, the temperature on the lower level of the primary building is very chilly, while on the main level it is warm. I am providing this information so that you can make an informed decision on your child's clothing for the day until it is fixed. Thank you for your understanding.
Reminder: Tonight is our Community Engagement Family Night. We will be in the Primary Cafeteria from 5:00 PM to 6:30PM. Please come enjoy some pizza (while it last) and cookies and grab your child's summer fun pack and free book to help" Prevent the Summer Slide!" See you soon.
Blue Ridge Families,
I wanted to let you know that for the next two weeks grades 3-5 are testing and this may change their specials and lunch times. Thank you.
Blue Ridge Families,
Thank you for your patience this afternoon as transportation had to combine some runs. If you go to Jefferson County Website under Department and Services and click on transportation, then you can track your child's bus under JCS Bus Status.
Thank you for your understanding.

Dear Blue Ridge Families,
We are thrilled to invite you to our Community Engagement Night on May 1, 2025, from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM at Blue Ridge Primary. 🍕🍪
Come enjoy delicious pizza (served from 5:30 until it's gone) and cookies while learning how to help your student "Prevent the Summer Slide." During this event, families will receive fun and educational activities to do with their students over the summer.
Please join us as we gear up for a fun night of enriching activities designed to keep your child busy and learning throughout the summer. It's a wonderful opportunity to connect with other families and get valuable tips to support your child's education.
See you there!
Mrs. Kandi Kaiser organized and made this Little Library happen. Thank you so much Mrs. Kaiser. This message is what she sent to our staff.
I am so excited to share that Blue Ridge Elementary now has its very own Little Free Library! It is located along the sidewalk next to the bus loop. Through grants from Donors Choose, we received the kit to build the library and our outstanding JCS Maintenance Department installed it for us. The library is registered on the Little Free Library world map, too! We also received a variety of books from the Donors Choose organization, so the library is fully stocked and ready for Summer reading! Please let your students and families know that the library is open 24/7, 365 days a year.
Happy reading!
Dear Blue Ridge Families,

We look forward to seeing you there!
