10/3:
Progress continues on the shade structure (pavilion).
See all the steps in this process!
When
the corner posts and roof are in place, kids will be able
to get out of the sun for a break!

Teachers
will use this structure to hold outdoor classes and on
field or special days, there will be a place for the kids
to eat lunch out of the sun. (Thanks to Michal Rittler for
the photo/update.) |

Buffalo
Ridge is a year-round school. It
is on a 4 track system.
There
are 4 different tracks with 4 different schedules.
Each
track is in school for 9 weeks and off for 3 weeks. BUT every track
is off a different 3 weeks - the schedule rotates through the tracks
so 3 tracks are on at a time and 1 is off. What
this does is allows the school to serve 1/4 more children than normal.
The
tracks are lettered A, B, C and D. At any given , one track
is off and the other three are in session.

BRE
is so STUFFED with kids that they had to add portables and a 5th
track (named B2).
The
5th track follows B-track (the most popular because they most closely
follow the middle and high school traditional schedules).

This
is an attempt to include a vital part of our community
on this web site - our kids' schools and their activities
in greater depth.
How
it grows, or indeed, if it grows is dependent on those of
you in the community with children who can provide content
and from any citizen of this community with something meaningful
to say about Schools in general and BRE in specific.

Any
chance for "School Reporters"?
Webmaster would like to have each grade have
their own column. Webmaster will pony up the work to accomplish
this if we can work it out with anyone willing. |
