Principal's Message

March is Reading Month!


During this month, we really have been placing more emphasis on the importance of reading. We are celebrating in many ways the positive things that reading provides. When I was growing up, sports books were on the top of my list when we had book orders. Yes, way back 40 some odd years ago, us kids looked forward to receiving those books that we loved, just like today. I still have the paperback book “Bobby Orr, Dynamite On Ice” that I ordered in 1972…I know, lol!

High interest books are often a great motivator and as parents you probably already know what kind of books your child enjoys. Topics could include animals, sports, mysteries, or short chapter books (i.e. Magic Tree House, Bailey School Kids). Maybe Dr. Seuss or Curious George books are favorites. Whatever it is, books are always a great investment!

Please encourage your child to READ...READ...READ!!!


Sincerely,

Jack Yates,

Hornung Elementary Principal

Counselor Corner

Here we are in March, ready for some sunshine and warmer weather! This month, we will be visiting classrooms for some Read Alouds and social-emotional stories for Reading Month. We are doing our best to meet the needs of students and classrooms by providing additional support with student groups and individual concerns. During this time of the year, needs are high and many students are requiring additional connections. Our goal for this month is to more directly meet the needs of our students during this stretch of the year when we all need a little more TLC.


Lets Connect: If you are noticing some behaviors that are interfering with your child’s success in the classroom, please feel free to complete my parent referral form and we can work together to determine if supports are needed here at school.


More Resources: We also have our BAS Elementary Counseling website for ideas and resources to be used at home!

Note from the Attendance Secretary

Note from the Attendance Secretary

Please call in your student's absence to the Attendance Line every day they are absent from school. Please give a brief reason why they are absent, whether it be a vacation, personal or illness. If your student is ill, please provide a brief description of their symptoms. If you do not call in your student's absence, a Robocall goes out around 2 PM. If you receive the Robocall, that means your student has an unexcused absence.
Note from the Attendance Secretary

Please pack a change of clothes

Please make sure you pack a change of clothes in your child's backpack EVERY DAY. This is for ALL grades. You never know when your student may have a nosebleed, have a spill, get muddy or have a bathroom accident. If they have a change of clothes, then we can take care of it, otherwise we will need to call home for you to bring up a change of clothing. Thank you for your cooperation.

The McKinney Vento Act

The Brighton Area Schools is part of a consortium to serve students in temporary living situations that provides financial support for educational needs, referral for housing, clothing and other needs, general support and technical assistance. To ensure compliance with federal law, all school staff must help identify student living in the following situations: emergency shelters/transitional housing, motels/hotels, car, parks or public spaces, shared housing due to a loss of housing or economic hardship, or living temporarily with non-parent or guardian.

The district’s homeless liaison is Starr Acromite and each building has trained staff members to assist in the endeavor. Our consortium contact at the Livingston Educational Service Agency is Candice Uyttendaele.


Please contact your building principal or Starr Acromite at 810-299-4040 for information/assistance.
