A Message from Mrs. Johnson
Hello Bryant families,
Bryant's student council is so excited to host their first event of the school year! For the Halloween Bash, the students determined no one should be charged to come. They just want all of their friends to come and have a great time. However, there will be light snacks available for purchase. Students MUST have a signed permission slip to attend the dance. If you will be picking your child up from the dance, we ask that you do so promptly at 4:00 pm.
Parent/Teacher conferences are right around the corner. Very soon, you will be hearing from your child's teacher to schedule a conference on November 8th or 9th. Please communicate with the teacher regarding your availability. We will do our absolute best to accommodate everyone's schedule. Please be aware on our parent/teacher conference days are non-student days. Additionally, we will be off on November 10th in observance of Veteran's Day. Please plan accordingly.
We still need your help! About half of our school population that has not finalized the parent data confirmation process. This is an important step in ensuring the information on file with the site and school district is accurate. If you have not already done so, please be sure to finalize this process by October 27th. If you need help, you can stop by the front office. We have chromebook sets up so we can support parents as needed.
As always, thank you so much for being such wonderful partners. Have a fantastic week!

The Core Virtue for the month of October - Gratitude
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 would love for your to volunteer!
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:

Volunteers will not be allowed on campus prior to 8:10 am unless cleared by administration in advance of the visit.

- 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
