A little late on this but today, we celebrate Maintenance Appreciation Day in Education! Let's give a big shoutout to the unsung heroes who keep our schools running smoothly. Your hard work ensures a safe and comfortable learning environment for our students and staff. Thank you for all you do Michael, Mike and Matt!
Please be advised that all Blue Ridge ISD campuses are participating in a required lockdown drill this morning. There is no emergency and this is just a drill. Thank you.
On Thursday Dr. Bermudez’s math class started exploring combining like terms in algebraic expressions using algebra tiles. Students modeled the expressions with the tiles and determined which terms could be put together based on the tiles. Concrete models deepen the level of understanding for students as they work toward more difficult concepts. Dr. B’s students rocked the lesson!

Mrs. Morgan's 6th grade reading classes finished their unit on informational text by sharing their infographics at the "Bug Cafe." They voted on the most creative insect-inspired dishes, and enjoyed some tasty treats. Here are some of the pictures of students work.
