Brightwood Tiger Weekly News
2001 Brightwood School Rd Greensboro, NC 27405
Weekly Update for January 24 - January 28
Good Evening Brightwood Family, this is Principal Stokes! With a few updates and reminders. We hope that everyone was able to safely enjoy the snow. We are excited and ready for another great week of learning. Please remember that our doors open at 7:00 am and our instruction ends at 2:10 pm.
This is a reminder that report cards will be coming on Wednesday January 26 in all student’s Wednesday folders.
GCS has activated their new call center for all transportation requests and needs. The Number is 1-888-511 4427 and if you need our school assistance, please do not hesitate to call us so that we can assist.
Lastly, the Strong School NC Public Health Tool Kit has been updated again as of January 10th. The most change mostly details the ins and outs of exposures within the school setting. If you or your child is experiencing cold or flu symptoms they should stay home. You should them contact the school and your child’s teacher and then contact their healthcare provider for guidance. Symptoms include fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, or diarrhea. Please remember that if you or your child are awaiting COVID 19 test results you are to quarantine until you receive your results. If your child comes to school with cold or flu-like symptoms, we will follow GCS outlined policy for proper student return. If you or your child test positive for COVID 19 or comes in contact with someone that tested positive for COVID 19 you must contact me immediately. This helps us stop the spread of the illness and stop others from getting sick.
Please remember that we are all expected to wear a mask when on GCS property it is for each person’s protection.
We greatly appreciate your support as we continuously work to provide an excellent education every day to each of our Brightwood Tiger this school year. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us here at the school or send us a message on ClassDojo.
Thank you for all that you do and have a great evening. Remember you are amazing!
Love Always Your Proud Principal,
Ms. LaTrice Stokes
About Us....
Our Vision
Brightwood is a community of 21st century learners who value the importance of education by consistently promoting mutual respect, personal responsibility, and high expectations.
Our Mission Statement
The Brightwood School Community will create a positive learning environment where individual needs are met through:
- Establishing and developing relationships using clear coherent expectations for students, parents, staff and community.
- Consistent implementation of Positive Behavior Intervention Support (PBIS).
- Rigorous instruction focused on students' development of critical thinking, problem solving, information and technology skills, and collaboration.
- Progression towards highly functioning Professional Learning Communities (PLC).
Brightwood Creed
The Brightwood Creed sets the tone of the day for students and creates a focus for them. It will be recited by all students each morning during the morning announcements. While the creed is recited, all movement and talking throughout the building should cease, especially in the hallways.
As a Brightwood Tiger, I will show:
P - Personal Responsibility
R - Respect
I - Integrity
D - Determination
E - Excellence
I will be successful!
