Please be patient when using the loop.  There are many cars speeding through the loop, dropping kids off in the second lane (this is a passing lane only), and having students walk through the parking lot unattended.  We all want our student to get to and from school safely.  Please be respectful to the teachers and staff trying to move traffic through the parking loop.  Cars and drivers that are repeatedly disregarding our loop procedures will not be allowed to use the loop for a certain period of time. 

We are pleased to announce that we will be hosting a book fair at our library from 2/24/23-3/3/23.  This will be a wonderful opportunity for parents and students to add to their personal collections while also helping the school raise money to add more to our library’s collection.  https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/lilabringhurstelementaryschool

Please watch for a “FALL 2023-2024 Reservation/Registration Form” to be mailed home

soon for each student currently enrolled in TK – 6 th grades. The form will not be handed out to 

parents and serves 2 purposes: it reserves a spot for your child next year at Bringhurst and also 

fulfills the District’s mandated annual residency verification via USPS. Please don’t mistake the 

letter for junk mail and toss it out!  

For students who will be moving on to junior high next year, Bringhurst will collect the form

and proofs and communicate with the Jr. High School to confirm a space will be reserved for next 

year. By submitting the required form and Residency Proofs by February 24th, your child will

be reserved a space for next year.

*The forms must be returned to the school that your student currently is attending; if you have a 

student overloaded to another elementary school, please return it there. 

We are still looking for noon supervisors during lunch times.  This is a paid position at $16.00/hour from the hours of 11-1 each day.  We currently are in need of a breakfast supervisor from 7:45 - 8:15 a.m.  If you are interested, please email Mrs. Paulina Sanchez  psanchez@fusdk12.net in the office for information and the hiring packet.  

If you prefer to volunteer and not have to fill out paperwork, get finger printed, etc.  please let us know, we can work with volunteers as well. 

Thank you in advance!

It is very important that you do not try to pass things or communicate with your child through our locked gates.  Anything that should be communicated should go through the office or via email through your teacher.  It is not safe for students to feel comfortable talking or taking things from adults.  Thank you for your cooperation.
