A Note from Ms. Laroche
Thank you to Asa Kirby and ALL of the parent and family volunteers who helped our grade levels make their tie dye t-shirts. I love seeing the grade level colors. These would be great to wear if you're looking for something to wear on Wed. for Wear your Pride Colors. Please sign up for Brentwood PTA Bulldog Bark Newsletter. Here's the link of last weekend's news.

The Main Office will be open between these hours too (located off Huntland Dr. first building to your right upon entering). Please call the main office if you need assistance, 512-414-2039.
If you have conferences outside of these hours please reach out and make arrangements with your child's teacher to gain entry to the campus and classroom.

Upcoming Flu Clinic @ Brentwood
Student Flu Shots On Camus Opportunity
On Monday, November 8th, Health Heroes of America will be on campus to administer the flu vaccine to any Brentwood student. If you are interested all you need to do is download and print this consent form and then return it to your childโs teacher by Monday, November 1st.
Friday, October, 29 come to school dressed in your work ready construction gear in honor of our school-wide theme for the 2021-22 school year "Dig in and Build Up!"
Morning Arrival
Please make sure you get your learners here on time each morning. Our instructional day begins at 7:40 am each day. Breakfast closes at 7:40 am. Please arrive early if you child is eating breakfast so they can have time to eat.
Morning arrival is a TECH FREE TIME- students should not have their devices out for use.
Reminders for drop off: When you are in the car line waiting to drop your child off as you drive down St. Johns and and turn right on Roland Johnson please "hug the curb/curve" so that other traffic can pass by. If someone is passing our hope and thought is that it is someone parking in our parking lot or it is someone not connected to Brentwood and this will help the line go faster. Thank you for your continued cooperation.
