Dear BRS Community,
"If you want to be happy, you need to set your mind on happiness." Ana Kostovska
The school year is well underway and our students are busy launching the year! They have spent time across grade levels talking about how they want their classroom to operate. After brainstorming what they need as learners and how their teachers can support them, the class comes together to create a set of expectations for the year. Next, the class will talk about their hopes and goals for the year. All of this work sets the foundation for building a community of learners!
Arrival and Dismissal
I'd like to thank so many of you who continue to support our arrival and dismissal procedures. As a reminder, there is no drop off in the morning prior to 8:20. Please do not drop your child off at the south entrance and depart, as there is no adult monitoring the students. Additionally, parking your car and walking your child to the door poses both safety and traffic concerns. It supports the entire process if you remain in your car and travel through the drop off line. Finally, we have been tracking the amount of cars that drive through and our numbers are often over 300; with our highest thus far being 357! We are doing our very best to support you and your child and we so appreciate your continued patience, support and kindness.
Dot Day
The Dot, written by Peter H. Reynolds, encourages everyone to make a difference! In beautifully simple language, with visuals to match, the author lets us all know that even the smallest act of kindness can make a big difference! On Wednesday, September 15th, BRS will again participate in Dot Day through our art classes and by wearing dots! Don your dots for September 15th!
