Social Studies Adoption- Parent/Community Involvement
Brevard Public Schools (BPS) is inviting parents/community members to provide input for the selection of State Standards aligned instructional materials. There are four opportunities for parent/community input.
Brevard Public Schools (BPS) is committed to fostering the kinds of high-quality learning experiences we know students need to ensure they have a solid K-12 Social Studies education. The upcoming instructional materials adoption cycle for social studies is an opportunity to select high-quality instructional materials that support these
kinds of learning experiences beginning in the 2024-2025 school year. Participating in the instructional materials review process is a powerful opportunity for teachers, administrators, parents, and community members.

Important Reminders
Front Office: The front office will be locked at all times for the safety of staff and students. If you need to enter the front office, please ring the doorbell on the left side of the front door. Office hours are 7:30am-3:30pm.
School Hours and transportation: Audubon's campus opens for students at 7:30 am. Students must be in their classrooms by 8:00 am or they are considered late and will need to go to the front office for a tardy slip. All students are dismissed at 2:30. Please remember, that kindergarten and VPK students must be met at the bus stop by someone on their approved list. If no one is there to greet them, they will be brought back to Audubon. If your child is a car rider, please ensure that you have the car tag clearly displayed.
Bus Loop: The front area of the school is reserved for buses only. After the buses are gone, VPK parents may drop their VPK students and siblings off starting at 7:45 am and will be greeted by their VPK teachers. If you are not a VPK family and need to drop your child in the front, please park and walk your child up (using the crosswalk)
Bus Stops: Parents, please help supervise your children at the bus stop in the mornings and afternoons to ensure that they are making safe choices. Also, students must wear their bus tag daily.
Lunch Accounts: All students are eligible for a free breakfast and lunch daily. If you would like to see the menu or add money to your child's account so they may purchase "extras" please visit: https://www.brevardschools.org/Page/3479 You can add money to the account by clicking on the "my payments plus" button or downloading the app.
Focus: Please make sure that you have your Focus Pin number and have logged in/created an account. Focus allows you to access your child's assignments and grades, as well as view communication from the teacher.

Reminders for Friday Lunch
-Students must stay at the picnic tables with their adult. No running around or playing in the courtyard.
-Students cannot bring a friend from class to sit with their parent/adult. Only parents/legal guardians on the child's information forms in FOCUS can eat with a student.
-Parents/Guardians must check in at the front office as a visitor and get a yellow badge. This badge must be worn at all times when on campus.
-Parents/Guardians MUST stay in the courtyard. You cannot walk your child to the restroom or to class.
*Teachers have been reminded that students need to use the restroom before lunch time, so this shouldn't be an issue. :-)
Eat Lunch With Your Student
Parents and Families,
Here is what you need to do if you want to eat lunch with your child:
- Make sure you notify your child’s teacher that you are eating lunch with them, so they can meet you at the tables. If you send an email, please do so in enough time for the teacher to see it before lunch.
- Only Parents and Legal Guardians can eat lunch with their own child(ren).
- Sign in as a Visitor in the Front Office and obtain a yellow name badge (you are not volunteering; you are visiting for lunch).
- You will report to the courtyard and wait on your child. The teacher will release your child to this area when he/she is taking his/her students to lunch.
- This area will be supervised during the entire lunch period.
- If you are not a registered volunteer, you will need to be escorted on and off campus by a staff member.
Every Friday will be available for parent/child lunch. We have limited seating, so you need to sign up through sign-up genius. The link for that is below:
https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60b0a4eaca623a3fe3-eatlunch1#/
Once again, I am happy to share this news with you. I look forward to seeing you and your child enjoy lunch together on Fridays!
Sincerely,
Candace Jones
Principal
