Taking Time to Say Thank You
Thank you to our Professional School Counselor, Mrs. Ross, for spearheading our Red Ribbon Week and to all of our Mighty Bulldogs who participated in the events to show that we Say No to Drugs!
Wow, I cannot believe that one quarter of SY21 is over. We have successfully completed Quarter 1 by working together, supporting each other and most importantly extending grace. THANK YOU to all Mighty Bulldog parents for partnering with us as we continue to work together to support our Mighty Bulldog scholars!
Challenge: If a Mighty Bulldog staff member has made a difference in the life of your scholar, please find a way to say thank you this month.
Have a great week.

Distance Learning Handbook
The purpose of this handbook is to compile, in one place, the policies, procedures and forms that will enable Brandywine Elementary scholars to successfully fulfill his/her responsibilities during Virtual Learning. It has been prepared with the sincere hope that it will be used as a ready reference by families with concerns related to classroom procedures, administration policies and organization norms.
Suggestions on how to become better acquainted with your scholar(s), how to learn about school routines and procedures, and how to secure professional help are included.
The adopted policies are subject to modification, as situations require. The need may arise for revision of this handbook. Feel free to offer suggestions. It is only through cooperative efforts of everyone concerned that we hope to create a wholesome atmosphere/environment for all.
