Good Evening Brightwood Family, this is Principal Stokes!
Welcome to another great week of learning. Thank you for your participation in Black History and Read Across America Spirit Week Last Week.
This Week is North Carolina's Severe Weather Awareness Week. We will have our Statewide Tornado Drill @ 9:30 am on Wednesday. We will also have our Lockdown drill this week so please be aware that if you child comes home discuss a tornado or lockdown, we performed a practice this week. Friday is SEL Day. Our theme this year is Finding Common Ground, Pursuing Common Good. This week we will take the time to honor our School Social Worker Ms. Smalls this week is School Social Worker week. Please take the time to honor her for all of her hard work and for supporting our learning community.
All Van and Day Care Rider parents were given a copy of updated policy and procedures last please remember that your signed copy is due tomorrow.
Please remember all students were given One Cards with the exceptions of those that just enrolled. All children are expected to wear his/her one card and lanyard. All bus riders need their One Cards to get on and off the bus. All students need their cards to sign in and out of school. This is how we identify students as being a Brightwood students it is for their protection. We as a school staff are required to wear our ID cards as we expect students to do the same.
As we know it was voted that students have an option for wearing their mask. If you child is coughing, sneezing and/or showing any cold/flu like symptoms we will ask them to put on mask as a layer of protections. As before if your child is displaying of the symptom please keep them home and get them tested and/or seek medical guidance from your medical physician.
Thank you for all that you do and have a great evening. Remember you are amazing!

Brightwood Creed
The Brightwood Creed sets the tone of the day for students and creates a focus for them. It will be recited by all students each morning during the morning announcements. While the creed is recited, all movement and talking throughout the building should cease, especially in the hallways.
