Here we are at the end of February.  Time sure is flying by!  This month was busy, we ended our inaugural basketball season, celebrated Kindness Week and National School Counselor week as well!  We learned about important African Americans this month and will finish up the month celebrating one of my favorite things to do: Read!  Read Across America Week kicks off next week and we will be celebrating reading in different ways.  I will be visiting classrooms to read stories as well as some other guests!  

If you haven't already proven residency with the office, please plan to do so soon.  This is our only way to guarantee your child's spot next year.  Failure to provide residency documents could result in you needing to reenroll and your child being overloaded to a different school. 

Sincerely,

Mrs. Johanna White

Principal

As a reminder, Hopkins will be holding Immersion parent and student information nights for incoming 6th and 7th graders.  Please mark your calendars.  If you have any questions related to Immersion or general questions about transitioning to Hopkins, please feel free to reach out to Counselor, Meg Moore at:  mmoore@fusdk12.net

Once again we have MANY jackets and sweaters that have been left behind.  Please ask your child to take a look through the items or stop by when you have some time.   We have had to bag up items due to the heavy wind .  If you would like to go through the bags, please stop by the office.  These items will be donated next week. 

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

Are you interested in volunteering during the Book Fair?  Please sign up for a time slot here.  Thank you in advance for your time and support!

We are still looking for noon supervisors during lunch times.  We are VERY short staffed on Mondays and Fridays.  This is a paid position at $16.00/hour from the hours of 11-1 each day.  We are also 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.

Thank you in advance!

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. 

Find lots of information from our PTO on their website, including upcoming events, meeting dates, newseltters and more! 

We no longer distribute flyers for outside organizations.  Instead we use Peachjar for eflyers.  You can find the Peachjar button on the district or Bringhurst webpage.  Or use this link.   Check this page often as it is updated frequently.
