We're so excited for our upcoming Halloween celebrations! The Halloween parade this year will be on Thursday, October 31, 2024 at 9:45am outside on the playground behind the school (see attached parade map). 

COSTUME, PARADE AND VOLUNTEER GUIDELINES

  • PLEASE NOTE: Parents will not be permitted on the playground until students have all entered the building at 9:00am. After 9:00, as you choose your spot to view the parade, please stay behind the caution tape. 
    • Feel free to bring lawn chairs and blankets to sit on.
  • We encourage students to come dressed for the parade.
     COSTUME GUIDELINES
    • Costumes that are immodest or revealing should not be worn, please keep the Jordan District Dress Code in mind as you decide on costumes.
    • Students can not wear weapons or facsimiles of weapons as part of their costumes. 
    • Student masks may not be worn in classrooms, but may be worn during the parade only.
  • Parents who choose to come to the parade in costume are welcome, but we ask that your costumes follow the same guidelines as the students with regards to modesty and weapons and we ask that no adult come with a mask.
  • Teachers will be sending home more information about individual class parties.
    • We will be having all class parties in the afternoon so we can continue with a productive learning day. With this said, we are asking parents to not interrupt their student's class time after the parade and before the class party.
  • Parents who have been approved by the teachers to help with parties must sign in at the office and obtain an official school visitor/volunteer badge before going to classrooms. Please be patient with this process as it can take time for parents to enter the building.
  • If you are going to check your child out at any point, please sign them out through the office and the office will call them down. Please do not take your child directly from the parade OR CLASSROOM. For safety reasons, teachers will not allow students to leave with parents without being checked out at the office first.
  • This is always a fun event and we plan to host more visitors on this day than any other day of the year. With that being said... Parking will be limited. The best place for parking will be in the parking lot of the church across the street (to the West). Or at the Splash Pad Park parking lot (to the North). Street parking is also available on Rosecrest Road and Mirabella Dr. The front parking lot will be reserved for our Teachers and faculty members. ***Please note that the drop-off/pick-up area and bus loading area will be closed off during the parade and parties in order to assure no cars are parked in these areas.

SEE YOU ON HALLOWEEN!

Welcome Back Blackridge Students!

 

Blackridge Students and Parents,

We are so excited to welcome each of you back to a new and exciting school year! This year all students in grades K-6 will start school on Wednesday, Aug 21st. Preschool students start on Monday, Aug 26th. We are also excited to announce that all classrooms will be in the building this year. The few portable classrooms we have left will be used for small group interventions and room transformations. I want to draw your attention to some important information as we begin the new school year. 

  • Please complete your child’s yearly registration before school starts. This ensures that your child will have access to technology at school and that we have accurate information for your child.  
  • Teacher assignments are now available on Skyward! When you log into Skyward Family/Student Access, click on the "Schedule" or "Gradebook" button on the left side.
  • Our Back-to-School Night will be held on Tuesday, Aug 20th between 5:30-7:00pm. We will be serving Lee’s donuts after you visit with your teachers and the PTA! We would like to thank PTA for sponsoring this fun event! 
  • The first day of school for students in Kindergarten-6th grade is Wednesday, Aug 21st. The students should line up outside at 8:53am when they hear music playing outside. Grade level numbers are painted on the playground and there will be signs indicating teacher lines. The first bell rings at 8:55am and teachers will bring students into the building at that time.
