Amazing Brillante Staff!
Dear Brillante Staff,
Thank you for a wonderful week!
I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for your exceptional work and commitment. Your unwavering support and adaptability have not gone unnoticed. Your dedication to ensuring flawless attendance and conducting morning phone calls has played a significant role in ensuring our students make it to school on time.
Attendance:
Make note of the new attendance protocol, and do not forget to fill in the attendance tracker every morning. The leadership team will be supporting you in following up with families after your phone calls.
After School Program:
El Camino is an afterschool program that is offered only to Brillante Academy Students. There are still spots for kindergarten and first-grade students. Reach out to our director of El Camino, Cynthia Valencia via cynthia.valencia@setonpartners.org, in case you have interested families that would like to join.
Our Mission:
Brillante Academy, a dual language school in the classical tradition, helps students to grow intellectually, socially and physically into young men and women of good character and spirit, and to be prepared for excellence in high school, college and beyond.
