Principal's Message

What a rainy March we are having!  I know we desperately need the rain, but it is very challenging for students (and adults) to be indoors so much!  We will take every opportunity of dry weather to get outdoors and into the fresh air.  

Report cards will be coming home next week, please review your child's progress and celebrate their growth!  If you have any questions or would like to discuss anything with your child's teacher, please email them to make an appointment.  

Don't forget to spring forward this Sunday and set your clocks ahead so that you are on time for school on Monday. 

With all this rain, please be patient and safe when driving. 

Respectfully,

Mrs. Johanna White

Principal

Mad Science Classes Starting Soon!

Mad Science After School Enrichment classes are starting soon here at Bringhurst!  Please see the flyers for registration information. 

Staff Parking

All parking spots are for staff members.  If you are volunteering or picking up your child for any reason, please do NOT park in an empty space.  Teachers sometimes have to step away from campus and need to be able to park in their assigned spots.  Street parking is available.   The street signs that indicate 5 minute parking are not enforced.  Thank you for your cooperation. 

NO Left Turns

To enter the parking loop, we ask that you make a right turn ONLY coming from the Grimmer side on Wisdom Way.  Traffic moves much more quickly when everyone is moving in the same direction.  Cones are placed in the entrance to the loop to prevent left turns from Wisdom Way.  Thank you for your cooperation. 

Student Safety

Parents/caregivers, please do NOT talk to your children through the gates while they are playing at recess or PE.  This is not safe.  We do not want students to feel comfortable talking to anyone who is not on campus.  Additionally, as a reminder the school campus is CLOSED to everyone except students and staff during school hours.  Please help remind family members and neighbors that the park, track, grass is closed for dog walking, exercising, etc. during school hours. Thank you for your help.
