Hands-on learning like this helps our little ones understand the world around them while building empathy and respect for the people who serve our community every day.

From dressed-up royalty to fresh school gear, our hallways were buzzing with excitement as our students stepped into a brand-new school year during last week's open house, but that was JUST the start!
There is nothing quite like the energy of the first morning back, seeing old friends, meeting dedicated teachers, and diving into new possibilities.
We are ready to learn, grow, and shine together all year long. Welcome back, Tigers! Let's make this year unforgettable. #tiGRRpride
Tomorrow is the big day! We can hear the hallways buzzing already.
As you try on those first-day outfits, here is a quick attendance checklist to ensure a smooth, stress-free start to the year:
✅ Bookmark the school number: Save your child's school attendance line in your cell phone so it's handy if you ever need to report a morning absence. Find all your contact info here: https://www.brf.org/page/attendance
✅ Establish the launchpad: Set up a designated spot near the door for backpacks, shoes, and coats to eliminate morning chaos.
✅ Prepare your backup plan: Talk with a neighbor, family member, or fellow school parent about carpooling or helping out if your morning routine ever hits an unexpected snag.
We have missed your children so much over the summer. Let's start the year strong, consistent, and together. See you next week! #tiGRRpride #attendancematters

Participants should dress for movement by wearing leggings or shorts, a t-shirt or leotard, and sneakers—just like they would for gym class. Check the comments for a link to register!
We are five weeks out from the first day of school! This week, we want to give a special shout-out to our youngest learners in Pre-K and Kindergarten.
Starting school is a big milestone, and building the habit of regular attendance right now sets the foundation for your child's entire educational journey. Did you know that missing just two days a month in kindergarten can make it harder to learn to read later on?
Here are a few gentle things you can do this month to prepare:
⏰ Gradually adjust bedtimes: Start moving bedtimes up by 10 minutes each week so the first morning isn't a shock to the system.
⏰ Talk it up: Keep conversations about school positive and exciting to ease any transition anxiety.
⏰ Map out appointments: Try to schedule routine check-ups during summer days or after school hours whenever possible.
Want to learn more? Here’s a great resource! https://www.attendanceworks.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/K_1st_Handout_012925.pdf
We can’t wait to see those big smiles on day one! #tiGRRpride #attendancematters
We love seeing our students build confidence, master new skills, and bring joy into the classroom every day. Way to go, mathematicians! #tiGRRpride
At the School District of Black River Falls, we view our families as our greatest partners. As you start thinking about the upcoming school year, we want to talk about one of the biggest ingredients in your child’s success: regular attendance.
When students are here every day, they don't just stay caught up on schoolwork. They build deep friendships, grow their confidence, and feel a sense of belonging. We know life gets busy, and challenges happen. That’s why we’re here to support you every step of the way. Let’s work together to make this year amazing!
Our doors are always open. If you have questions or need support preparing for the year, please reach out to your child's school office! #tiGRRpride #attendancematters
If you want to beat the August rush and cross a major task off your summer to-do list, our 2026–2027 school supply lists are officially live and ready for you.
