News and Notes from the Principal
First full week back since Fall Break and the students have done a great job! There are quite a few recent/upcoming happenings that I wanted to bring to your attention! Just this week, progress reports for the 1st 9 weeks were shared with students and parents, you should be able to also access this information instantly through PowerSchool. If you need assistance please stop by our Front East Office for your credentials. Next week, we turn our attention to PSAT Day for Sophomores on 10/29, with Freshman & Juniors working within their advisement on activities and our Seniors completing common application questions virtually with a day away for school for Seniors ONLY on 10/29. There is quite a bit of information contained within this newsletter for students that has been shared through advisement, but we are also sharing with you so that you have a glimpse into the opportunities ahead!
Our girls softball team closed out their season last night finishing in the Sweet 16, Volleyball is set to compete in the Sweet 16 this weekend at 1PM at RHHS, the Football team is riding high and headed to Effingham tonight, our band has continued to show just how incredible they are in their previous performances and are set to compete again in Ware County this weekend! Fall Sports are still in full swing with winter sports beginning next week - we are excited for the academic and extracurricular excellence that all of our students have continued to exhibit through this pandemic!
One major change that was made to meals for students by the Federal Government is the extension of "Free Meals" for the remainder of the 20-21 School Year. Please take advantage of this opportunity as our Lunch Staff has done an incredible job providing meals both Breakfast and Lunch throughout this time!
Enjoy the weekend ahead, stay safe out there & rest up for a full week of engagement for your students ahead!

Health & Safety Reminders:
- If your student is not feeling well, please do NOT send them to school. With concurrent learning they have the opportunity to take advantage of the curriculum even when not present - they can log into their google meets.
- Face Coverings are to be worn at ALL times while on campus, when lunch is not being consumed.
- Congregation before/after school is strongly discouraged. If we want to maintain in-person schooling it is important that we ALL work together to make this happen.
- If your child is unable to attend school due to COVID-related symptoms please be sure to contact the school to speak with the nurse: (tparker@bryan.k12.ga.us or dfoster@bryan.k12.ga.us) - All attendance related notes should be submitted to Ms. Carolyn Oetjen via email at (coetjen@bryan.k12.ga.us)
- eLearners are expected to follow the same schedule and meet the same expectations regarding timely arrival, interactions, assignment completion, etc. as their in-person counterparts.

Senior Meetings
Counselors have now started senior meetings. Seniors are to schedule their own meetings with their counselor via pick-a-time. These will be held at various times of the day. Please keep in mind it is the senior who chooses the time and schedules their appointment. Seniors are responsible for remembering their scheduled appointment, and excusing themselves from class for the meeting. To avoid repeated interruptions, counselors will not be calling into classrooms for seniors to make their appointment. Click Here and reserve your time at the bottom left hand side of the webpage.
