Principal's Message<\/h2><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n
\n
We have had two very successful Back to School Nights since our last newsletter. Many had given feedback on how the flow of people, traffic, and parking was observably better due to this split. We especially appreciate those parents who had both upper and lower grade students for being flexible with their schedules and attending both nights.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Bringhurst is also proud to announce that we are officially receiving our PBIS Silver Recognition Award! We want to give a special shout out to our PBIS team for their hard work and all of the support of our teachers to adopting our student management system.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Our next big even is our fundraising event - Blazerunner on 9\/19. Thank you in advance to parents who will come to volunteer to keep the event a fun and safe for all students. We are excited to see you soon!<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Be kind, be safe, be responsible.<\/div>\n
Be your blazer best!<\/div>\n

Response to Bullying Concerns<\/h2><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n
At Lila Bringhurst Elementary, we are committed to creating a safe, respectful, and supportive environment for every child. At the beginning of the school year, we often see more discipline incidents as students readjust to school routines and expectations. Our staff uses positive behavior supports to guide student choices and address concerns quickly and fairly. When a bullying concern is reported, we follow clear district procedures that include investigating the situation, communicating directly with the parents of the students involved, and taking appropriate steps to ensure student safety and well-being. Please note that while we share information with families about their own child, details about other students are kept confidential. Together, we can keep our school a safe and welcoming place for all.<\/div><\/div>\n<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n

Problem-Solving Toolbox<\/h2><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n
\n
Our goal at Bringhurst is for students to independently acknowledge their emotions, self-regulate, and solve problems. As a PBIS school, we provide tools to students, train all staff to use them, and share information with parents so students can practice these skills until it becomes second nature. <\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Our students have been learning about the following 4 tools. Please click into each picture to see the slide deck that's taught, and practice them at home with your child!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n
