Principal Update
Dear Parent(s), Guardian(s), & Students,
Are you ready for these last 5 weeks of school? I don't want you to miss any of the excitement! Please check over classroom newsletters and the list of events from above (or download/use our website calendar to sync to your phone) for all the specifics.
As the school year winds down, many of you have asked what next year will look like at BRMES. We currently have 60 Kindergarten students enrolled for next fall. Based on our current enrollment of 415, and adjusting for any families moving in or out, we expect to continue with three sections/classrooms at every grade level. We will be keeping a close eye on Kindergarten enrollment in the event we need to ask for a fourth classroom.
If you missed the April newsletter, you can still submit any classroom placement input to me by May 3rd. Your child's current classroom teacher is currently working on placement groups for the 2019-20 school year.
As a reminder, today (May 1st), morning choices for students who arrive before 8:05 will be to go to breakfast OR head outside to play until the last day of school. Dress for the weather.
We are committed to teaching and learning until the last day of school on June 6th! We hope we can maintain high student attendance, academics, excitement for learning, and smiles as we take on these last five weeks of school! We welcome you for any and all of the special events!
Mrs. Berg, Principal
