Toys & Valuables<\/strong><\/div>\n
Please remind students to keep all valuables and toys at home. We are trying to minimize the amount of item lost or taken.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Glass bottles and lunch containers<\/strong><\/div>\n
We encourage you to NOT use glass to store students lunch. It is not safe when they are shattered on the ground. Please consider using metal containers instead.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Younger Siblings<\/strong><\/div>\n
We love parent volunteers and parent participation in school events. However, we cannot allow younger siblings attend school functions during school hours due to safety concern. Thank you for understanding.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n

    As we continue to grow our PBIS efforts this year, we are looking to add parent involvement to our PBIS team! On the third Wednesday of each month our team meets to discuss plans for PBIS at Bringhurst. We would need parent input for the first 15-20 minutes of each meeting (1:45 - 2:00pm). We would share what issues we are seeing on campus and have you brainstorm with the team on how to address these needs at school. Please let us know if you're interested!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n

    Rainy Day Protocol<\/h2><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n
    \n
    Help us remind students of these protocols to better prepare for unpredictable weather!<\/div>\n

    <\/div>\n
      \n
    1. Please encourage students to use their raincoats instead of their umbrellas to prevent any accidents.<\/li>\n
    2. A reminder that Kindergarteners will NOT be able to use an umbrella if it rains during pick-up time as kids would be sitting too close to each other, so please prepare rain coats.<\/li>\n
    3. Our closed campus policy is still in place despite the weather changes. You may instruct your child to walk to their classroom and out of the rain in the morning, there will be many adults to assist and supervise students. Please do NOT ask students to open gates for you, or walk in the campus after school for pick up. <\/u>\n<\/li>\n
    4. \nOur priority is safety. <\/strong>Kindly respect our traffic crew and their instructions as they help in the morning, rain or shine!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n
