Week of November 6

The +10 Mindset - Formative Assessments are Next Week
Please join us in motivating your students to excel on the 2nd 6 weeks formative assessments.  Every student has a +10 goal for this assessment.  Ask your child this week what their goal is and what they plan to do on the assessment to reach their goal.





No Excuse November
For most of my life, November has been an excuse for me to grow out my beard. November has been and will always be No Shave November, but I would like to push the Blue Ridge community to turn November into 

Let's be honest.  We make excuses when the going gets tough, but for the month of November, let's fight the urge to make excuses when things aren't going our way. When we are tired, let's not use that as an excuse.  Let's respond with courage when we would normally rationalize why something can't do accomplished.

Excuses are the defenders of the status quo.  They keep us from finding our excellence. They kill change, and they eviscerate visions.  The only way that excuses will ever be defeated is when more people develop a "No Excuse" mindset, and that starts when we collectively take a stance against making excuses every time something gets hard.  And what better month than November to say No More Excuses.
