Dear BRE Families,
We have our first PTO meeting on Monday, September 8th at 5:30 in the Primary Cafeteria. Immediately following, we will hold out First Volunteer Training of the 2025-2026 school year. All parents who wish to volunteer in their child's classroom must attend the training. This training is also needed for Field Day in May.
GREAT NEWS... if you participated in the training last year, you do not have to come to volunteer training this year. All you have to do is complete all paperwork again. I will be sending it home with your child. You will receive it by the end of September.
Hope to see you on Monday.

Dear BRE Parents and Guardians,

After thoughtful consideration, we’ve decided not to hold separate meetings for sharing concerns and ideas. Instead, we warmly invite you to bring your thoughts, questions, and suggestions to our regular PTO meetings.

These meetings are a great opportunity to stay informed, collaborate, and engage in meaningful conversations that support our school community. Your voice matters, and we believe integrating these discussions into our existing PTO structure will foster a more inclusive and efficient dialogue.

We look forward to seeing you there and hearing your valuable input!

Warm regards,
Sybil Terry
Principal

Blue Ridge Families... Summer Slide Bags should have come home. “Summer Slide” is the tendency for students to lose some of the achievement gains they made during the previous school year. Blue Ridge Elementary School students received a book and a math manipulative bag with cards with ways to incorporate the materials at home.
