Thank You...

I want to thank each and every one of you for your thoughtfulness on Boss' Day. With all the hard work you do and the little time you have, thank you for taking the time to start off that day making it special. I look forward to the year ahead and all that we will be able to accomplish together as a team in support of our Bryant Bears and their success!

With Bear Pride,

Clarissa

• The expectation for Lexia Core 5 is that your students have already logged in and have taken the diagnostic assessment through the student portal. If your students haven't done so yet, please plan to do that by Wednesday in order for this Thursday's staff meeting to be meaningful.
• There are many resources available in the myLexia Teacher Portal...check it out if you have not had a chance to explore.

Fall Festival this Week...

It's finally here!!! It is hard to believe that we have been in school now for almost 42 days (that's this Friday). I know we have a team working tirelessly preparing for the Fall Festival so that it is a special event that will draw in our school community. This Fall Festival is the FIRST event we get to celebrate the season with our students and their families. Please make a concerted effort to support in any way you can by dedicating at least an hour of your time that Friday afternoon. It really makes a difference to our team when we are all working in support of one another. Our students and their parents also appreciate when they see their teacher in an informal setting participating in the fun.
