What's Buzzin' at Bryant
Week of October 16, 2023
A Message from Mrs. Johnson
Hello Bryant families,
On October 19th Bryant, along with all other RUSD schools, will participate in California’s Great Shake Out. The drill is scheduled to begin at approximately 10:10 AM I may last approximately 45 minutes. Please be aware that during the drill access to the campus will be restricted. Parents will not be able to check students out or bring students to school tardy while the drill is in progress. Anyone that is on campus at the start of the drill will be expected to participate in the drill. If you have appointments for your child on October 19, please be sure to 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!

Walk-Bike to School Day!
Active trips to school enable children to incorporate the regular physical activity they need each day while also forming healthy habits that can last a lifetime. Regular physical activity helps children build strong bones, muscles and joints. In contrast, insufficient physical activity can contribute to chronic diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer and stroke. On October 18th, Bryant will be participating in Walk-Bike to School Day! Please join us at Starbucks on the corner of Market and 3rd at 7:15 am. We will meet there as a school community and then walk-bike to school together. See you then!
Join us for our second session of Parent University!
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.

- 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
