Hello Bryant families,

It is hard to believe we are half way through Trimester 1. Time has gone by so fast. Every student will receive a progress report during Trimester 1. The purpose of the progress report is to inform parents of how their child is performing and to offer helpful suggestions/tips for parents to utilize at home. Progress reports will go home with students on Friday, September 29th so please be sure to check their backpacks. If you have any questions regarding your child progress report, please be sure contact your child's teacher.

This year, we are proud to announce Bryant's Parent University. Parent University is designed to be an opportunity for parents to get tips and tools in a variety of areas so they feel better equipt to help their child at home. Trainings will be offered in math, reading, and social-emotional education. Please join us for our first session on September 27th at 6:00 pm. We will be discussing how to build your parent toolbox with strategies to support your child's social emotional learning. Parents, these sessions are just for you so please do not miss out on this wonderful opportunity.

Join us for our first PTO meeting of the school year. The meeting will be held on September 25th at 3:00 p. We are always in need of new members to bring fresh ideas to the team. We look forward to seeing you.

As always, thank you so much for being such wonderful partners. Have a fantastic week!

This month, as part of our social-emotional development discussions, classes will discuss what it means and what it looks like to demonstrate diligence. Please join us by talking with your child about demonstrating diligence and never giving up, even when things appear to be difficult.

We are so happy to welcome volunteers on campus to offer support or to attend field trips. This is a great way to ensure the school site, community, and families are all connected. If you are interested is being a volunteer, some important information you will need to know is captured below:

• All volunteers are required to be checked into RAPTOR Visitor System & be cleared via the Volunteer Clearance List for 2023-2024. If you are not on the Volunteer Clearance List you will not be allowed on campus for any reason. Volunteers will not be allowed on campus prior to 8:10 am unless cleared by administration in advance of the visit.
  
• The Adult Volunteer Participation process is a 4-6 week process (may be longer if there is a fingerprint processing delay).
• Be sure to inform staff of the timeline to acquire clearance for scheduled events and field trips.
• All chaperones, no matter the duration of the field trip or school event, must be fingerprinted and complete the process

Volunteer clearance renewal:

• To complete the renewal process (volunteers previously cleared during the 2022-2023 school year) all volunteers are required to complete the annual online volunteer training and confirmation form
• Tier 1 volunteers, previously cleared during the 2022-2023 school year may renew their Tier 1 clearance for the 2023-2024 school year.
