Hello Bryant families,

Thank you to everyone who participated in our very first Parent University. Our goal is to continue to strengthen our parent/school connection while providing parents with tools to support their children in a variety of areas and ways. Be on the look out for information related to our next session. We look forward to seeing everyone.

Progress reports went home with students last Friday. Everyone students receives a PR in trimester one. If you have not seen it yet, please be sure to check your child's backpack.

Lastly, fall picture day is Friday, October 6th. Purchasing information and proofs are sent to families electronically therefore it is important that you have finalized the data confirmation process in Aeries and have a correct email address on file. Not having accurate information on file may impact your ability to order fall pictures.

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

Gratitude is thankfulness for the gift of life and the gifts in life. Gratitude is the act of recognizing and acknowledging the good things that happen, resulting in a state of appreciation. This month show your gratitide and appreciation toward other for the little things they do to make your day brighter.

This month, as part of our social-emotional development discussions, classes will discuss what it means and what it looks like to show gratitude. Please join us by talking with your child about showing gratitude and appreciation to others.

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.
