THIS WEEK AT BLUE RIDGE SCHOOL

August 19, 2016
 
BACK-TO-SCHOOL: 
Both the ELL campers and the football team members will be arriving next Tuesday, August 23! Staff and teachers have been working hard getting the campus ready for them. Please be sure to complete the forms sent to parents earlier this month. The forms for domestic students can be found  here .  International forms can be found here .

NEW SOCCER FIELD:
Phase Two of the Baron Athletic Complex has begun with  initial site work where two new soccer fields will soon reside. This phase also includes a new golf practice facility, significant improvements to the baseball diamond and a new outer campus entrance and gateway along Bacon Hollow Road.  Fundraising efforts for the Complex continues. More than $2.4 million has been raised to date, and the Advancement team seeks to secure the final gifts needed to reach the total $2.675 million goal over the next five months.  

BARONS ON 3&OUT:
The Daily Progress featured Barons Football in an August 18 article titled "Barons bring back bevy of experience." Read the article here .
 
HOST PARENTS NEEDED: Yes, we're already thinking about the few school breaks when all students leave campus. Please consider hosting an international student over the Thanksgiving break. Our students enjoy learning about this American tradition and hosting gives your family an opportunity to learn about another culture. The School's International Student Coordinator, Dr. Chrisantha Hermanson, will be coordinating hosting. Please contact her if your family has a spot at your Thanksgiving table.

ACT/SAT TEST CALENDAR: Today is the deadline for registering for the September 10 ACT test. The Charlottesville test center is already full so please select the Harrisonburg test site.
