Back to School Announcements

The +10 Mindset
Welcome our new high school principal,
Dr. Chris Miller
The summer has flown by and school is ready to begin on Monday, August 20.  Over the summer the
BRISD Board of Trustees have approved a wide variety of things to make our school safer, to provide our students with first class facilities and resources, and to provide every student with the very best educator in every classroom.  Over the summer, the board authorized the following actions:
  • Approval of a 3% Raise for all staff members in BRISD
  • Approval to hire a School Safety Employee for the 2018-2019 school year, and facility upgrades to exterior doors and fencing.
  • Approval of Facility Upgrade to BRES Gym (bleachers and painting),
  • Approval of Bleachers and Concrete sidewalks for baseball field,
  • Approval of Student Handbooks for All Students, Athletics, Band, Cheer, etc.
Thank you to the Blue Ridge Chamber of Commerce
for hosting the Back to School Bash.
In addition to the hard work of our board, our district hosted its first ever Back to School Bash which was completely organized by the Blue Ridge Chamber of Commerce.  We appreciate the City, churches and organizations for all of their work.  Over 290 backpacks were provided to children, and kids could get free haircuts, dental cleaning, and immunization shots.  This event is a testimony to the first class community that Blue Ridge is.  Thank you to all who helped make this event a huge success.

As August begins, I would like to invite you to be a part of this wonderful district.  If you have any questions, concerns, or problems, please know that I, along with our dedicated leaders, want to hear from you.  Our district is growing and the best way that we can grow in the right direction is to keep the lines of communication open.  My door has been open for you since I began in Blue Ridge in May of 2016, and my door will continue to be open for you any time you need anything.  I can't wait to see each of you as we begin the school year.
