No School!
Just a reminder that there is NO SCHOOL on Monday & Tuesday of next week (Nov. 5th & 6th) due to Professional Development & Election Day. We will see you back here on Wednesday!
Guess Who is Coming Soon?
Question of the Week
Starting Wednesday, November 7
After some review, the decision was made by the Brighton Police Department to move the drop off zone in the AM closest to the building starting Wednesday, November 7. The front car will pull forward to the crosswalk and stop. The other vehicles pull behind the car in front of them and stop. Once your vehicle has stopped, let your child/ren out on the passenger side closest to the sidewalk. After, please wait for the car in front of you to pull away. Do not try to pass in the drop-off lane.
The small staff lot will be only for buses and no longer a drop-off zone.
If you choose to park and walk your child to their bus line, you’ll need to use the main crosswalk.
In the afternoon of November 7, the pick-up location will move to the multipurpose room at the east end of Spencer. As always, please bring your child’s number. That procedure will remain the same, just in a different location.
