Week of May 21

The +10 Mindset
Saul Valdez won the Impact Award
for his entry in the Strike Out Straws
category. He won $500!
The final week of the 2017-2018 year is here.  Can you believe it?  It seems like we just started
school a few weeks ago and now it's already over.  I guess time does fly when you're having fun.

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.

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.

Skylar Gerner wins Bronze in High Jump and
6th in the Triple Jump at UIL State Track
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.

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.

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.


Blue Ridge makes UIL Track History
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.

Congratulations to Skylar Gerner who won the Bronze in High Jump and 6th place in Triple JumpMarlaina Morgan placed 5th in Pole Vault, and Jacob Stroup placed 5th in the 110M Hurdles.   Blue Ridge athletes were coached by Andrew Carlson and Terra Mathers.  Congratulations students and coaches, and thank you for making Blue Ridge a huge success in track this year.

Week of May 14

The +10 Mindset
Teacher Appreciation Week was fantastic.
Thank you to all who made it great!!!
Next week our students in grades 3-8 will take their STAAR test. While this test is a snapshot of your
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.

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:  Learn, Grow, Excel.

The +10 Mindset 5 & 8 STAAR Success
BRMS held a Flexible Learning Day last week to allow
students to choose their path of learning for the day.

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.

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.

Week of April 30

The +10 Mindset - Finding your "Kick"
Congrats to Jared Stroman, Nolan Henderson,
Coach Greg Morrison, Ellery Martin, and
Shelby Gerner
for advancing to the state
tournament in tennis.

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.

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.

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.




End of Year Teacher Appreciation
Congrats to Nolan Henderson for making the finals at
EarthXFilm Festival

On the last day of school, we will continue our tradition of thanking our employees for their hard work this year.  The board of trustees will be providing us with a fantastic lunch, and we will be thanking our teachers and staff in grand style.  Below is a list of businesses and individuals who have donated prizes to reward our teachers and staff for their hard work this year.  If you would like to be a part of group of donors, please contact Shawn Harris at 972-752-5554.

Week of April 23

The +10 Mindset
Our BRHS Girls Area Track Qualifiers
Academic and athletic competition is a very important part of our mission at Blue Ridge ISD, and this year has been an extremely successful for both academic and athletic competition.  This week, I would like to highlight our success in UIL Track and UIL Academics.

In UIL Academics, BRES won the district championship, BRMS won the district runner-up and BRHS won the district runner-up as well.  For all campuses total team points increased tremendously with BRMS almost doubling their overall point total from last year.  As we head into 3A competition, I am so proud of the work our students and staff have done to be highly successful in academic competition.

In track our HS & MS campuses earned nothing less than District Runner Up success.  Here is a breakdown of our track success:

  • HS Varsity Boys - District Runner Up
    Our BRHS Boys Area Track Qualifiers
  • HS Varsity Girls - District Runner Up
  • HS JV Boys - District Champions
  • HS JV Girls - District Champions
  • MS 8th Boys - District Runner Up
  • MS 8th Girls - District Champions
  • MS 7th Boys - District Champions
  • MS 7th Girls - District Champions
We are extremely proud of our kids and coaches for finishing their last year in 2A competition by finishing 1st or 2nd at the district level, and we look forward to continued success in 3A competition.


At the April Board Meeting
The Board recognized our Teachers of the Year:
Roma Morgan - BRMS, Melissa Stiney & Laura
Larsen
- BRES, Not Pictured Derek Gourley - BRHS
At the Monday, April 16 board meeting, the board recognized our teachers of the year and our Area Qualifier track athletes.  The board heard an information report by Pogue Construction on the Construction Manager At-Risk process.  The board also approved updates to the Emergency Operations Plan and Extended Teacher Contracts.  Finally the board approved summer school plans and an additional position for dyslexia for the 2018-2019 school year.

The board discussed giving all staff a minimum 2% raise for the 2018-2019 school year.  This information will be finalized as the budget process continues to be developed in May.  In order to be competitive and to reward our teachers for their hard work, the Blue Ridge ISD Board of Trustees has made it a priority to improve compensation for the district's employees.  At the May board meeting more plans will be shared to increase compensation for all employees.

Week of April 16

Congrats to the BRMS Teacher of the Year
Roma Morgan
The +10 Mindset - 
STAAR, TSI & End of Year
STAAR week is over for April, but there is another round of state testing headed our way in May.  During the week of May 7, HS students will take the STAAR End of Course (EOC) Algebra, Biology and US History tests, and on the following week, ES and MS students in grades 3-8 will have STAAR tests as well.

To prepare your students for these tests, we will have one more round of formative assessment tests during the week of April 16.  These tests will be a great predictor of your child's potential performance on the STAAR test.  Please be sure to ask your child's teachers how well they did on these tests and what you can do to help them reach their +10 goals.

It is important to note that STAAR is not our only assessment nor is it the final assessment students need prior to graduation.  Juniors and seniors will be taking the TSI (Texas Success Initiative) test in May.  This test is extremely important because students cannot enter a Texas public college or university without passing this very important test.

As we get to the end of the year, we become tired, and often we let our exhaustion be the reason we fail to strive for excellence.  In the last month, please encourage your students to push hard to reach their academic goals and please push them to perform well on every assessment they are asked to take.  If you need more information about the role that each test plays in your child's academic success, please contact your school counselor.

Week of April 9

The +10 Mindset
BRMS Student Council went to spread some Easter cheer
at a nearby nursing home this week. They are
pictured with a 1944 Blue Ridge graduate!
STAAR testing will begin next week for grades 5, 8 and high school English 1 and 2.  I would like to thank our teachers, support staff, and principals for working so hard to prepare our students for success on this test.  They have been amazing, and I can't thank them enough for the amazing things they have done for our kids. Our students are prepared to reach their +10 goals because of the powerful instruction that our educators have created.  Please join me in thanking them.

It is important that you know that while this test is important, it does not define our students or their teachers.  One test on one day will never define an entire year's worth of work, so when the results come out, we will use the data to identify where we are strong so that we can replicate instruction for next year's students.  Additionally we will identify our weaknesses and use this data to determine how we can improve.  At the end of the day, Blue Ridge ISD has worked hard to educate all students, and the data from this test will lead us to our next steps for growth.


#LoveMySchoolDay is Wed, 4/11/18
#LoveMySchoolDay is Wednesday, 4/11/18.  This is an initiative I started 5 years ago as an elementary principal to encourage educators and parents across the world to use the power of social media to tell their story (a.k.a. the 411) about how awesome their school is.  Today, this yearly event showcases schools across the world who are proud of their schools and tell their stories.

In a world of negativity that often attacks public school, we, as educators, parents and supporters of our school, must tell why schools are amazing and what they do for kids.  I invite you to use your social media accounts to share pictures, videos and stories about why your school is amazing.  

Remember, if you don't tell your school's story, someone else will.


Moving up to 3A Competition
Blue Ridge Tennis took 1st and 2nd
place in girls single, 1st place girls doubles
and 1st place boys doubles.  Great job to
the kids and Coach Greg Morrison
As many of you know, Blue Ridge will be moving in athletic and academic competition next year.  The growth in our high school enrollment is what is used to determine our UIL classification.  Next year, we will be compete against the following schools:

  • Football:  Leonard, Whitewright, Paris Chisum, Prairiland, Bells
  • Volleyball, Basketball, Baseball, Softball, Track and UIL Academics:  Bells, Bonham, Howe, Leonard, Van Alstyne, Whitewright
Moving up to 3A is an exciting time, and I have a lofty goal that I would like for us to reach in 4 years.  I would like for Blue Ridge to have a state champion team in the next 4 years.  We can do that when we work hard as a district to push our kids to grow in their work and by pushing them to find their excellence.  To prepare our kids for success, it will take strong teamwork and support from our parents, teachers, and coaches working together to encourage our students to put in the hard work, the dedication and finally the sacrifice to achieve this lofty goal. 

Welcome to 3A competition Blue Ridge!
