Blue Ridge Families,
Parent Teacher conferences this evening are by appointment only. You only need to attend if you have already made an appointment with your child's teacher. I thought it was necessary to clarify this. Please only attend during the time slot you have scheduled. If you have not scheduled a conference, you do not need to attend. Please contact me with any questions. sybil.terry@k12.wv.us Thank you .
Blue Ridge Families,

💗🌸 In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the entire Blue Ridge Campus recently held a Pink Out Day! Students and staff from the primary and elementary schools gathered for a group photo against the beautiful backdrop of fall foliage up on the mountain. For many of our elementary students, it was a heartwarming reunion with their former primary school teachers, filled with smiles and joy as they came together in support of an important cause!
Blue Ridge Families,
A big thank you to our PTO President, Bernadette and the entire PTO for planning and executing an excellent Trunk or Treat on Friday.

Bus 96 is running behind and therefore, we have 1103 covering the routes. Thank you for your understanding as we work to get your children picked up.
Blue Ridge Families,
Thank you for your understanding as we navigated the bus delays this afternoon. And please thank the drivers that took several loads of students' home. Have a great weekend.
JCS Families: We anticipate transportation delays across the county due to law enforcement shutting down a portion of 340 due to a hazardous materials spill. WHS, HFMS, CWS, and BRC will be most impacted.
🍎 We're celebrating National School Lunch Week with heartfelt thanks to our incredible cafeteria staff! During the first full month of the school year, JCS proudly served 7,654 meals per day, thanks to our team of 68 dedicated cooks. Every day, our cafeteria staff goes above and beyond to nourish our students, ensuring they have the energy to learn and grow. Plus, all JCS students can enjoy free breakfast and lunch every day! A wonderful example of this commitment can be seen at Blue Ridge Primary School, where the cooks created a colorful bulletin board showcasing daily meals with photos for our younger students. Thank you to all our school lunch (and breakfast!) heroes for your hard work and heart! ❤️
