As we head into Christmas break, I would like to personally thank the teachers, leaders and staff of Blue Ridge ISD for all that they have done. Not only are we making tremendous progress in academics, but we are growing by leaps and bounds in UIL Academics, Athletics, Fine Arts, and FFA.<br />
<br />
I invite you to join me in sending a personal word of thanks to those who are personally impacting your children in a positive way so they know just how much we value their dedication and commitment to the students of Blue Ridge ISD.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #4f4f4f; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">UIL Academic week for BRES and BRMS began on Thursday, December 6 with middle school speaking events, and it ends on Friday, December 14 with the middle school one-act play in Princeton . Why is UIL Academics important? Well, first of all UIL Academics allows our students to take their learning to the next level (+10) by competing against their peers from other schools. It allows them to gauge their ability and expertise against kids just like them. In fact UIL Academics is a great representation of how the real world works. If you want to be the best person for the job, you have to work hard every single day to be able outperform those who also want that job.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4f4f4f; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4f4f4f; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">This is our first year in 3A competition and I can't say enough how proud I am of our students and academic coaches for their hard work preparing for competition. Since the beginning of school, our coaches have been working feverishly to prepare students for competition and on December 14, we will see the fruits of our labor. Our ultimate goal is to win the state championship, and no matter what place we come in, we will use the results to determine next steps to better prepare our students for next year. </span><br />

If you aspire for your children to succeed in reaching their college or career goal, reading is critical. The less students read, the more likely they will not achieve their goal; however, if students read 20 minutes per day, they can gain a robust vocabulary and achieve succeed academically by reaching the 90th percentile. That means of 100 students, a student who reads every day can be in the top 10.<br />
<br />
To promote literacy, BRISD campuses have been pushing reading and writing in all classes. BRES has initiated the 40 Book Challenge which pushes students to read 40 books of their choosing by the end of the year. BRMS has implemented the 25 Book Challenge as well. I encourage you to join BRISD teachers and staff in pushing your child to read each and every day. By developing this habit in your students, tremendous benefits will lead to your child's ultimate success.<br />

As part of our district goals to develop our personnel, the district uses the entire month of December <br />
to shower our teachers with gifts and appreciation with the 15 days of Christmas. Every school day in December will have a special gift and message of appreciation to all BRISD teachers and staff members. They are truly a gift to our children, and we are extremely appreciative of them.<br />

With that being said, I would like to invite parents and community to join us in this initiative. Whether it's a treat, a small gift, a Christmas card, or a personal letter of thanks, we want you to join us in spreading Christmas cheer throughout the district. If you would like to know more about the 15 Days of Christmas, please give me a call or send me an email. I would be glad to tell you more about it.<br />

<br />
This past week, the Long-Range Facility Planning Committee met on Thursday, November 8 at 6 p.m. The committee toured the campuses, and <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #222222; white-space: pre-wrap;">listened to financial advisor, Brian Grubbs, about the potential cost of new facilities which were presented by WRA Architects. The committee came to a consensus that the district needs to explore the options related to having a bond election for a new elementary school. </span></span><a href="https://www.brisd.net/Page/1315" style="white-space: pre-wrap;" target="_blank">CLICK THE LINK</a><span style="color: #222222; white-space: pre-wrap;"> to access handouts from the meeting.</span><br />

For example the biggest excuses made by most people are "</span><b style="background-color: white; color: #4f4f4f; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><i>I don't have time"</i></b><span style="background-color: white; color: #4f4f4f; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;"> or "</span><b style="background-color: white; color: #4f4f4f; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><i>I can't do that"</i></b><span style="background-color: white; color: #4f4f4f; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">. That's simply not true. We have the time if we make it, and we can do anything we commit to do.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #4f4f4f; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">As you visit with your children this week, push them to not allow excuses to prevent them reaching their +10 Goals. Eliminate excuses like "<b>I'm not a good reader</b>", "<b>I'll never learn math</b>", "<b>I can't write</b>", and "I<b>'m not good at this sport</b>". These excuses are nothing more than a lie. They are just frustrations that we can overcome if we push ourselves to continuously get better.</span><br />

assessments. The purpose of 6 weeks assessment is two-fold. First it is to gauge which essential skills your student mastered this past 6 weeks, and second, we want to determine how much growth your child made from the 1st 6 weeks.</span><br />

In dealing with growth, each student has a +10 goal. The goal is used to gauge student growth from last year's STAAR test and/or from the 1st six weeks assessment. When you visit with your child about his/her performance on the 2nd 6 weeks assessment, ask these questions.<br />

Great conversations with students about their learning are necessary to motivate them to continue to try harder. I hope you will take a few minutes to talk to your child about their growth on the 2nd 6 weeks assessment. It will definitely keep them focused on reaching all of their +10 goals this year.</div>

<span style="font-size: medium;">The 2nd Annual Blue Ridge Festival was fantastic, and it is a living testimony to how much we are growing as a community. Not only did we see tremendous numbers of people in attendance. We also saw more people than every donating their time, talents, and gifts to make our community an even better place. Thank you so everyone who volunteered their time to run a booth, organize a game, cook food, lead your group's performance and make this a great time for our community. Go to the district Facebook post to see a sample of all the fun that was had last week.</span><br />

The next meeting of the Long-Range Facility Planning Committee is Thursday, November 8 at the Blue Ridge ISD Administration Building. Everyone is invited to attend. The purpose of the meeting will be to discuss the facility upgrades made by the committee and the potential cost of those projects. In addition to our architects, WRA, Brian Grubbs from SAMCO (BRISD's financial advisor) will be in attendance to share financial information to the group. The group will also tour the buildings to get a better perspective of the needs that the district is facing in regard to building capacity. Below is a graphic that illustrates the current capacity of our buildings and what the future holds in the next 5 years.<br />

On Monday, October 22, our teachers worked hard on our professional learning day to learn how to build powerful interventions and extensions to help every student learn, grow, excel. The goal of our training was to create instruction that best meets every student where he or she is currently and then take each student to where they need to be this year.<br />
<br />
With that said, what we are trying to create is a world of possibilities, where obstacles become opportunities, and disabilities dissolve because we believe in our abilities to help all kids grow in their learning. To better explain this instructional vision for Blue Ridge ISD, I encourage you to watch the video below that I found on Facebook about Nike's first pro athlete with cerebral palsy. Excuses don't exist in a culture of excellence.<br />

<span style="font-size: medium;">This past week was a phenomenal week for our students. Last week, I shared my thoughts about our excellence mindset when it comes to competition in extracurriculars (<a href="https://bridgetoexcellence.blogspot.com/2018/10/week-of-october-22.html" target="_blank">CLICK HERE to read</a>). With that said, I have some exciting news to share.</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>The Blue Ridge HS Tiger Band got its 2nd consecutive and 2nd ever 1st Division Marching rating in UIL Marching Contest. This is the band's first 1st Division Rating as a new school in 3A.</li>
<li>Our boys cross country team took 3rd to advance to the Regional Meet where they finished 11th.</li>
<li>The BRHS Volleyball Team made the playoffs as the smallest 3A school in our district and the possible district runner-up. The playoffs begin next week.<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

The point that I want us all to recognize is this. It's not the size of the school in the game. It's the size of the game in the school. Our goal is to every student believing that they are a valuable member of our teams, and their work will help us reach our goals.</div>

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Now that we are in 3A competition, people have asked me questions about the large goal that I established for Blue Ridge. In May of 2018, I challenged our coaches and sponsors with a large goal. Blue Ridge will have a state champion team in 4 years. This goal is not exclusive to athletics. It also includes UIL Academics, Band, One Act Play, FFA, and Robotics. Every team is part of this lofty goal.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ucBr3Q2GKDU/W6VOPXyDdKI/AAAAAAAABGA/k9PWvxVczLc45IXwH7UlDf1vfQl1UBPPQCEwYBhgL/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2018-08-30%2Bat%2B2.15.17%2BPM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" data-original-height="542" data-original-width="542" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ucBr3Q2GKDU/W6VOPXyDdKI/AAAAAAAABGA/k9PWvxVczLc45IXwH7UlDf1vfQl1UBPPQCEwYBhgL/s320/Screen%2BShot%2B2018-08-30%2Bat%2B2.15.17%2BPM.png" width="320" /></span></a><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Now with that goal there are lots of questions about what that exactly means for us now. Well first, champions are built through the leadership of others. That means that our current seniors and juniors play a huge leadership role. We have amazing upperclassmen, and their leadership and participation are essential. They are part of the reason we are being so successful now, and they are serving as role models of leadership for our underclassmen to learn from so they can one day take the programs to the next level. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In order to reach our goal, it will take every one of us. We need parents, students, and educators working together to achieve our common goal, creating men and women of character who are committed to working hard to help their team excel in every way. The best teams are made of selfless teammates who make themselves better by helping everyone around them get better. We are excited to be in 3A, and we look forward to watch our teams and organizations learn, grow, and excel through both camaraderie and competition.</span></span><br />
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Currently, our volleyball team clinched its first ever playoff birth in 3A play and our football team has a strong chance of making the playoffs this year. Our band will compete in 3A competition on Saturday, and our UIL Academics teams are preparing for competition right now. I invite parents to support the kids in being the best they can be by committing to their team's success. That is how we build teams of excellence.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Hosts and Guests by Phillip Lentz</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Last weekend, there was a fantastic NCAA Football game played between the University of </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Oklahoma and Army. Oklahoma was at home, ranked #5 in the country, and had the support of over 80,000 fans. Army was a huge underdog, but to the surprise of the college football world, they found a way to end the football game in a tie and force overtime! In what was a relief to Oklahoma and a huge disappointment to Army, Oklahoma scored in overtime to win the game.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">As you might expect, the Army athletes were upset and frustrated. They had every right to be disappointed. They lost the game, but what they didn’t lose that Saturday night was their character. When Army finished changing in the OU locker room, they made sure to clean it up-- even nicer than when they arrived. They didn’t make a mess, they didn’t leave trash on the floor out of frustration, and they worked hard to leave the locker room in perfect condition. They were guests at Oklahoma’s stadium, but they acted like hosts!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span id="docs-internal-guid-69abba97-7fff-690a-f39a-4c7033967434"><span style="font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Champions become champions by working hard when other people aren’t working. Leaders earn followers when they act like hosts-- even when they are guests. If you want to reach your full potential as a leader, you must work hard to be a great host even when it isn’t easy. It would have been easy for the Army football team to act like guests, but the character of these young men was on display in front of thousands of people during the game AND afterwards when no one was watching. These men will be great leaders of our nation one day. How will you earn the right to lead others by being a great host in the future?</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: medium;">The BRHS Robotics team competed in the Allen Robotics contest. Our team competed against dozens of schools around Texas at the event. While we didn't win, our students are being exposed to great learning opportunities that will help them get closer to victory in the future. Special thanks to sponsors Darryl Spurgers and Kenny Williams for preparing our kids. Below is a video that shows what Robotics is all about and the level of competition our kids experienced.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: medium;">The facility committee met on Thursday, October 4 to discuss the future of the district's buildings. <a href="https://www.brisd.net/Page/1314" target="_blank">Please click on this link</a> to gain access to all handouts provided to the committee. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: medium;">A key question that was asked was how much longer will it be before our buildings run out of space. The image below is a chart that illustrates the maximum capacity of all buildings and where our enrollment was in 2017, where it will be in 2020 and where it will be in 2025. Maximum capacity is when every classroom holds approximately 25 students for 8 periods per day. Based on this graphic and our enrollment today, the elementary and high school are at maximum capacity and the middle school currently has every room being utilized for instruction or for special programs such as dyslexia and special education.</span><br />

The first 6 weeks formative assessment week ended a week ago, and this past week teachers begin their plans to respond to the date. This response is called <b style="text-decoration-line: underline;">Response to Assessment,</b> and it helps educators learn what kinds of questions students struggled with so they can be retaught in 2nd 6 weeks instruction. It allows teachers to determine which classes struggled with specific essential skills in order to provide them additional instruction, and it give teachers the opportunity to identify students who need tutorials during class and outside of class on specific skills. If you have questions about your child's performance and how the school will respond to your student's data, please contact your principal or teacher.<br />

<div style="text-align: right;">
</div>
<span style="font-size: medium;">As part of our efforts to improve the facilities throughout the district, a Long-Range Facility Planning Committee was established, and it had its first meeting on Thursday, October 4. Its purpose was to learn about the current status of our facilities, learn about our district's enrollment growth, and become informed about the financial information related to school facilities. The committee is open to the public, and the next meeting will be held on <span style="background-color: cyan;">Thursday, November 8 at 6 p.m</span>.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">What I'm Learning</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This was a great video that HS students and college students could benefit from about improving memorization. It was shared to me through a BRHS grade level Remind account. Touch base with your school to learn how to receive information that your child receives.</span><br />

September was a fantastic month, and we enjoyed a great first full month of school. Now that October is here, there are so many events coming up this month, and one of the last events of October will be the Blue Ridge Fall Festival on Saturday, October 27. I hope you will come out to this event that celebrates everything in Blue Ridge. This includes Blue Ridge ISD, City of Blue Ridge, Blue Ridge Chamber of Commerce, BRASA and so many more groups and organizations. We hope you will come out and join us.<br />

We have a Clothes Closet that provides our students with clothes, and we have a Food Pantry that provides deserving families with food. Both of these initiatives are led by Carolyn Wink, and during the month of October, we will be having a Food Drive competition where we are seeking to stock the food pantry with foods listed in the image to your right.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">This is also a competition. We will be rewarding the grade levels at each campus who donate the most food, and the winning grade levels will be treated to an ice cream party for their hard work. We are so blessed to live in a such a wonderful community as Blue Ridge. I hope you will join in as we work together to make it a wonderful place for students and families who need our help.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #4f4f4f;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4f4f4f;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In order to gauge growth, we have challenged students to score 10 points higher than their last year's STAAR score. In other words, if the student earned a 60 on last year's STAAR reading test, his +10 goal is 70 on every assessment this year. The goal is growth, and we hope you will help us promote the +10 Mindset with your student on their formative assessments.</span></span><br />

Next week is Homecoming Week, and we are excited about how much our "home" is growing. Yes, we are growing in numbers, but we are also growing as a family and coming more together every day. For Homecoming Week, I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to join us in showing your Tiger Pride. On Sunday, September 16, I invite you to decorate your house in <span style="background-color: #38761d;"> </span><span style="color: white;"><b style="background-color: #38761d;">GREEN and WHITE</b></span><span style="background-color: #38761d;">.</span> Decorate your business, your church sign, or your fence in <span style="background-color: #38761d;"> </span><b style="background-color: #38761d; color: white;">GREEN and WHITE</b><span style="background-color: #38761d;">.</span> Let's show our neighbors and our entire community just how much we love Blue Ridge.<br />
<br />
Homecoming week we will have the parade at 1:00 p.m. and it will end with a pep rally at the HS gym. After that, we will have the homecoming game against Chico, and homecoming festivities will begin at 7 p.m. and the game following that at 7:30 p.m. We hope you will join us in showing your Tiger Pride by painting the town <span style="background-color: #38761d;"> </span><b style="background-color: #38761d; color: white;">GREEN and WHITE</b><span style="background-color: #38761d;">.</span><br />

<a href="https://www.brisd.net/domain/375" target="_blank">Our mission at BRISD</a> is to create graduates who are prepared for college and career pathways. With that being said, every campus has college initiatives. The middle school had their first College Day on Tuesday where teachers will be promoting college to all of their students. The high school had a college fair on Thursday to expose students to college.<br />
<br />
Beyond exposure we are offering dual credit classes to sophomores for the first time in school history. We will be offering the PSAT test to all HS students this fall, and we are currently in the process of identifying 7th grade students who are eligible to take the SAT through the <a href="https://tip.duke.edu/programs/7th-grade-talent-search" target="_blank">Duke Talent Search program</a>.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
In addition to promoting college readiness, our goal for 2018 and beyond is to have every student graduate with a college or career licensure. We will push every senior and junior to take dual credit courses, earn an industry certification, enlist in the military, pass the TSI or meet college entrance criteria on the SAT or ACT test. If you would like to know more about college and career readiness at BRISD, please contact your principal or counselor.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;">This past week, Blue Ridge Elementary held its first WATCH Dogs meeting, and over 100 dads signed up to give 1 hour of their time this year to help out at the elementary. That means that over 100 hours of help is available to support the campus. There are so many others who are helping out with PTO, Athletic Boosters, Band Boosters, Food Pantry, or the Clothes Closet. I would like to invite you to be a part of our school. No act, no matter how small, is ever wasted. Contact your school if you would like to volunteer.</span></span><br />

<br />
The big reason why our students are learning, growing, and excelling is because our teachers, leaders, and staff members are learning, growing, and excelling as well. To accelerate this growth, we have made adult learning a priority and dedicated a specific time of every week so that teachers can learn together.<br />
<br />
In the picture to the right, teachers learning from Mr. Todd about our new assessment systems, DMAC and MAP. This is a traditional form of professional learning where teachers come to the board room, and we share a new concept or idea with them. From there, teachers will collaborate on their own or with their principals each Friday in an effort to become more proficient in the work they are tasked with.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>So why have a Late-Start Friday?</u></span><br />
Well the reason is simple. We care about our teachers, their success, and their time. Every teacher deserves time during their contractual work day to learn with and from one other. Second, it is disingenuous to say that adult learning is important when there is no time built into the teachers' work day to make adult learning a priority. If we want students to grow in their learning, we owe it to our teachers to give them time to grow as well.<br />

It is our intent to <br />
provide all students who arrive at their usual time learning activities that otherwise may not be provided. For example, character education sessions, homework clubs, and fitness activities are just a few examples of the learning that we will expose to all kids who arrive at their normal time on Fridays. Also, we hope that families who choose to arrive late on Fridays enjoy the extra bonding time that this late start provides.<br />

Future Growth</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Our district's enrollment pattern is continuing its upward trend. On the first day of school, BRISD enrolled 819 students and by the end of the week, BRISD enrollment was 829 students. Since 2015 BRISD has averaged 6% growth over the last 3 years. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
Eventually the district will need to consider options for additional facility space in the form of classrooms as we continue to grow. Over the coming weeks, the district will explore options with the district's architect, WRA Architects, and the district will conduct another demography report to forecast the future growth over the next 3-5 years. </span><br />

Kids are smiling. Teachers and staff are focused on excellence, and administrators have done a great job creating a structured system so everyone knows the where we are headed. It has been a wonderful week.<br />
<br />
So what is our focus this year? The next step for Blue Ridge ISD is all about continuous improvement. It's about acknowledging where we are strong and making those areas stronger, and it's about admitting where we must grow next. With that being said, growth grows even faster with feedback. In Blue Ridge ISD, we value your feedback, student feedback, and staff feedback. When feedback is focused on growth also known as the next step, everyone wins. If you have a question, concern, or suggestion, please feel free to give us a call and share your thoughts.<br />

months. The threat of school violence is a scary thing, and it is something that every educator in the nation is worried about. To address concerns, we have implemented the following protocols:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>The district has a new School Resource Officer, Deputy Max Picco.</li>
<li>All students have 1 point of entry into the buildings in the mornings. They are the front of the HS school for MS/HS students and the cafeteria for ES students.</li>
<li>The district has increased its security presence by adding an additional security staff member this year.</li>
<li>The district added exterior video equipped door bells at the front door of all campuses, which requires all visitors to identify themselves prior to entering the building.</li>
<li>The district is requiring students to use the Anonymous Alerts App to report bullying, threats, harassment or any other concerns. The username is blueridgeisd and the password is blueridgeisd. Please encourage your students to use this app if they have any concern.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Student safety is our number one priority in Blue Ridge ISD. If you have any questions, concerns, or idea to share, please feel free to let your principal or me know.</div>

The 1st week of school is here, and we are ready to make an epic impact on every student this year. As we start the year, I want you to watch the video below and see what Blue Ridge ISD is all about. We are more than a STAAR test, and this video will tell you why.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/916KIXQ6a3A/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/916KIXQ6a3A?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Our state accountability ratings were released, and our district receive a B. Over the years, the Texas Education Agency, at the legislature's direction, has attempted to convey to parents and communities how schools are doing at educating students. It is impossible to explain to you the formulas of how Blue Ridge ISD earned a B, so I will do something different. I will tell you what we define as success in educating your child.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5g1LDJRuzEo/W3GiTLmF7XI/AAAAAAAABCQ/PhWEkGDezOYTghl9BMzWmtJwGvuXBE-FACLcBGAs/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2018-08-13%2Bat%2B10.22.26%2BAM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="788" data-original-width="1058" height="238" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5g1LDJRuzEo/W3GiTLmF7XI/AAAAAAAABCQ/PhWEkGDezOYTghl9BMzWmtJwGvuXBE-FACLcBGAs/s320/Screen%2BShot%2B2018-08-13%2Bat%2B10.22.26%2BAM.png" width="320" /></a></div>
First, we are all about growth. When it comes to STAAR testing, did you know that Blue Ridge ISD has grown every year in student achievement over the past 3 years. The table shows that BRISD was ahead of the state of Texas in 5 tested areas in 2016, and in 2 years we are now ahead of the state in 13 tested areas, and this year we aim to grow even more this year.<br />
<br />
But aside from STAAR, there are great and amazing things happening for our kids every day. Our extracurricular programs are growing by leaps and bounds, and the education in our classrooms provides tremendous learning opportunities that can never be assessed on a standardized test.<br />
<br />
As we begin the year, I want you to know 3 things.<br />

The summer has flown by and school is ready to begin on Monday, August 20. Over the summer the <br />
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:<br />
<ul>
<li>Approval of a 3% Raise for all staff members in BRISD</li>

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.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
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.</div>

<br />
I hope your summer is going great. We are a little over one month until the start of school, and there are lots of things happening to prepare for the upcoming year and to build support for our students, teachers and school. First, the <b style="background-color: lime;">Faith Jech, Dana Pierson and Dina Brown</b> are leading the Chamber of Commerce in hosting a <b style="background-color: cyan;">Back to School event on Saturday, July 28 from 10-2 p.m. in the HS Gym</b>. <b style="background-color: lime;">Carolyn Wink and Denise Avery</b> are creating a clothes closet at the administration building for students who need clothes, and the <b style="background-color: lime;">BRISD Food Pantry</b> has been in full service this summer providing food to families in the community. We are so thankful for everyone for their support and service to the district. If you would like to contribute, I encourage you to go to <a href="http://www.brisd.net/volunteer" target="_blank"><b>this link</b></a> and sign up to be a volunteer for the upcoming year.<br />
<b style="background-color: lime;"><br /></b>
<span style="background-color: white;">We have a lot going on with our student organizations and booster clubs. </span><b style="background-color: lime;">Coach Terra Mathers and Kevin Wiggins</b> have done a great job providing lots of workout opportunities for our athletes, and now they are working with parents to restart the BR Athletic Booster Club. <b style="background-color: lime;">Coach Bailey</b> and <b style="background-color: lime;">Coach Christenson</b> have done an outstanding job offering an unprecedented number of athletic camps, open gyms, and growth opportunities for our athletes. <b style="background-color: lime;">Band Director, David Terry</b> along with <b style="background-color: lime;">Krysta Cates, Chris Dwyer, Crystal Childers, Tracy Gonzales, Joni Lawrence, Korbie Lewelling, and Kim Lacalle</b> are leading the Band Boosters to make preparations to support the band this year, and our <b style="background-color: lime;">FFA officers</b> under the leadership of our new teachers, <b style="background-color: lime;">Jaci Baker</b> and <b style="background-color: lime;">Shelby Lee</b> have been hard at work preparing for the upcoming year.<br />

In addition to summer opportunities for the kids, we are gearing up for another fantastic year academically thanks to our <b style="background-color: lime;">teachers, support staff and administrators</b>. <b> In 2017-2018, our students made tremendous gains from last year</b> and are now ahead of the state and regional performance on STAAR in 13 of 20 tested areas. That is a huge increase from 6 of 20 areas in 2017 and 5 of 20 in 2016. Almost every grade level saw tremendous gains from the students' performance in the previous year. That means that BRISD is on track to reach its goal of surpassing state and regional averages on STAAR and other academic tested areas such as MAP and iStation by the year, 2020. More information on these great gains will be shared throughout the upcoming year.<br />

Last, I know many people are interested in how we are protecting our students in light of the Santa Fe shooting. This summer, we have been working to upgrade our exterior doors and fencing, and many discussions have taken place with Collin County Sheriff's department to ensure safety and security is our top priority. <br />
<br />
There will be an increased focus on preventing an incident at BRISD this year, and more information will be shared in August. As a parent, I also share your concerns, and we will be doing everything we can to provide and safe learning environment for your children. If you have concerns, please feel free to email me or call me anytime at 972-752-4351.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Did you know?</span><br />
When it comes to education funding, <b style="background-color: lime;">did you know that state has increased the local taxpayer's responsibility to pay for 50% of the state's education in 2017?</b> This is an increase from 46% 5 years ago (2012). Also, did you know that the <b style="background-color: lime;">state has decreased its share</b> over the same period of time from 39% in 2012 to 36% to 2017. The remaining portion of education funding, 11%, is paid for by the federal government. The source of this information is the Texas Education Agency which shared this information in this month's Public Finance Hearing.<br />

Board members, will you please stand so we can thank you for your leadership. </span></p><p dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-d11ba205-a218-ab42-9040-bae62987a111" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></p><p dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-d11ba205-a218-ab42-9040-bae62987a111" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Graduates, you are almost to the finish line, but you didn’t get there alone. There are some very special people that you must thank. First, let’s honor our parents. They have done so much to raise you, clothe you, feed you and instill in you the values of character, respect, hard work and responsibility. Without them you would not be here today. If you are a parent of a Blue Ridge graduate, will you please stand to be recognized.</span></p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">For 13 years of your life, you have spent the majority of your life in a school, and educators have helped you along your journey by giving you the knowledge and skills that will prepare you to be successful adults, but even more they have taught you the values of kindness, service, and leadership. If you are a teacher or staff member at Blue Ridge ISD, will you please stand to be recognized.</span></p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Last, there is one reason and one reason only that we are here today. We live in the best nation in the world where each and everyone of us has the freedom to pursue life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The greatness of our nation and the future of our prosperity is guaranteed each and every day by the brave men and women who sacrifice their lives to defend and protect our way of life. If you are a veteran or active member of the US Military, will you please stand to be recognized.</span></p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Graduates, you are an amazing group of men and women. You have accomplished so many things that have made Blue Ridge a wonderful school in so many ways, and we sincerely appreciate you for all that you have done. Now a new chapter is about to commence. This new chapter is called “The Real World”, and I must warn you that it will not be as easy as you think, but this chapter is no different than the challenges that Blue Ridge Tigers before you have experienced.</span></p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">In 1943, seventy-five years ago, Blue Ridge ISD Superintendent M.W. Fagg delivered a similar message to the seniors of 1943. His message can be found in a yearbook donated by Mr. Billy John Dickson that is now on display at our administration building. In 1943, the United States was in the middle of World War 2, and during that time there was a tremendous amount of uncertainty about the future of America and the world that those 1943 graduates would inherit. His letter reads as follows:</span></p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">To the students of 1943, this year marks off another rung of the ladder that you are climbing to success. You have the best wishes from all who have been associated with you this year. I sincerely wish for you the greatest of all the pleasant things that life has to offer. You have had to leave off some of your extra-curricular activities, but you have taken the sacrifice splendidly just as all American boys and girls should do.</span></p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Neither you nor I can definitely say as to what you have to face in the future with our world situation. But I’m sure you can handle the situation as capably as did our forefathers, and make this America, that we all love, a brighter and stronger place in which to reside.</span></p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Graduates, this time capsule message from 75 years ago still rings true today in 2018. While we are not in the middle a World War, you are walking into a world that is ever-changing and here’s the main idea. You are now inheriting this country. I challenge you to love our country, love your community, build a family and love them with everything you’ve got. I challenge you to make our world a better place, but more importantly, I challenge you to not fall into the trap of being a skeptic, a cynic or someone who always complains. This world has enough whiners, but what this world needs is more winners. You are winners, and you were built by your wonderful family and by this great district to continue your journey a winner. Now all you have to do is go out there and make it happen. Graduates of 2018, I wish you the best of luck and may God bless you, the graduating class of 2018.</span></p> John winkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11024907737609756444noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228533129192469708.post-14120311242760545632018-05-24T08:20:00.000-07:002018-05-24T08:20:57.090-07:00June Announcements<span style="font-size: x-large;">The +10 Mindset</span>
<br />
This school year has been a great one. We are so proud of our students and all that they have accomplished. We are extremely appreciative of our teachers, administrators and staff who went above and beyond to make this a great year for our kids. Finally we are thankful for our parents who are trusted partners in each child's educational process. Together the team from everyone makes Blue Ridge a destination district.<br />
<br />
As another year comes to a close, I know that everyone is thinking about going different directions and heading off on vacation. I have those same thoughts myself, but I would like to invite everyone to a big event on <b><u>June 4 at 6 p.m. </u></b><br />
<br />
The <b style="background-color: lime;">Blue Ridge Alliance</b> will be hosting a joint meeting on <b><u>Monday, June 4 at 6 p.m. at the BRISD administration building</u></b> with the school, City of Blue Ridge and the Chamber of Commerce, and we invite everyone to come. We will be talking about the following information:<br />
<ul>
<li>Updates from the City, Chamber and School</li>
<li>Planning for next fall's Blue Ridge Fall Festival in October</li>
<li>Strengthening our Community to protect our children and our schools.</li>
</ul>
<div>
This meeting will not only celebrate the great things happening but also how we can make our community safer and better for everyone. The meeting hopes to gather ways that we can get our kids more connected in civic activities, involved in churches, and making sure they don't fall prey to the dangers that kids can often encounter during the summer. I hope that you can join us.</div>

The final week of the 2017-2018 year is here. Can you believe it? It seems like we just started<br />
school a few weeks ago and now it's already over. I guess time does fly when you're having fun.<br />
<br />
As we end another year, I'd like to personally say thank you to our parents for doing such a great job raising and supporting your children so that they can reach their full potential in school. It is you who laid the foundation for your children to achieve great things this year.<br />
<br />
Next, I would like to thank every teacher, paraprofessional, office staff, maintenance staff, food service, bus driver, counselor, principal and central office member for your hard work. It was your team work and commitment to excellence that inspired our students to believe in themselves and reach for goals that were higher than they had ever achieved.<br />

Students, I would like to express my most sincere appreciation for all that you have done this year. All of the accolades that we achieved this year, both in and out of the classroom, could not have happened without your grit, determination, and passion for growth. Each and every one of you are an inspiration to us all.<br />
<br />
Finally, none of this could truly happen without our fantastic board of trustees. They have charted a course for our district to accomplish great things in such a short amount of time, and they have provided the support, the resources, and the encouragement to ensure that Blue Ridge ISD reaches its goals. We are blessed to have such a fine group of men and women who aspire for excellence in every educator and ultimately every student.<br />
<br />
In closing, I thank you for partnering with us this year. If you have time, I encourage you to look back over my weekly posts from this year and see just how much we have accomplished. Blue Ridge is a special place. It is a district not only growing in enrollment. We are growing in our performance, our commitment and our excellence. Thank you for being a part of our team.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Blue Ridge makes UIL Track History</span><br />
This year has been a banner year for UIL Track. Both the boys and girls were district runners-up and several athletes advanced to the area and regional meets. We had a record 4 students advance to the state track meet in Austin. We are excited to report that all 4 students placed at the track meet which the first time in school history that 2 or more students placed at the track meet.<br />
<br />

Next week our students in grades 3-8 will take their STAAR test. While this test is a snapshot of your <br />
child’s performance, it is important that you remind your child that their score does not define them as individuals. At Blue Ridge ISD, our goal is growth, and we will use the results to figure out better ways to serve your children next year.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I would like to thank all of our teachers, administrators, counselors, and staff for their hard work in preparing our kids for success. I would also like to thank our parents for their partnership in helping our kids reach their goals, and finally, I wish our kids the best of luck and encourage them to be confident next week to show how much they’ve grown this year. Together we are a strong team, and we will ensure that every student fulfills our motto: <b style="background-color: lime;">Learn, Grow, Excel. </b></div>

This year our 5th and 8th graders saw huge increases in reading and math. We are so proud of our students for their hard work in learning and our 5th and 8th grade teachers for the countless hours of hard work and determination they put in to help our students reach their goals.<br />
<br />
Below is a table that shows how much the students grew from their previous performance as 4th and 7th graders at the "Approaches" (passing) standard, "Meets" (college-ready) standard, and the "Masters" (advanced) standard.<br />

The final month of school is here. The finish line is in sight, and the final push is here. In track terms this is where runners must find their "kick" or last bit of energy to run faster and harder in order to ensure a win in the race.<br />
<br />
In May it is very easy to look forward to summer and slow down the pace as we move closer to the end of school, but that is not what the best schools do. In fact they do the exact opposite. They push harder. They run faster, and they study harder in order to ensure that they reach their goal, Excellence in Every Student.<br />
<br />
This month, we will be pushing hard to reach our goals in academics, athletics, and attendance, but we will also be celebrating even harder. If you look at the calendar for each campus, you will see lots of assemblies, banquets, and trips. At Blue Ridge ISD we will be kicking it into high gear as we run faster and harder to the finish line. I hope you will join us.<br />
