Look for Re-enrollment Information

Families with children in grades K-4 will receive an email later this week about re-enrollment for next school year. Families with children in JPK and PK will receive packets in the mail. Please inform the school by January 31 if your child will not return next year.

Sign Up for Parent Conferences

The Parent Portal is open for reserving your time to meet with your child's teacher. Parent conferences will be Thursday and Friday, February 1 and 2. February 1 is a half day with dismissal at 11:30 a.m. There is no school on February 2. Contact Renee' Kropff if you have questions about logging into the portal.

Broken Pipe Over Office

Mr. Morgan was surprised this weekend to find a cascade of water flowing into his office and the bookstore next door. A boiler pipe burst over the office and created a mess. Mr. Morgan's office has been temporarily displaced to Nicole Smith's office in the KEC. The hallway in front of the main office is closed for repairs, but Ms. Janie's area and the main office will be open tomorrow. We will announce when the bookstore will reopen.

ERB Testing

Students in grades 3-5 will participate in ERB testing. Grade 5 tests will be given on January 16-18, and grades 3-4 will have tests on January 23-25. Please be sure your child eats a healthy breakfast and arrives on time for school. Testing results will be provided to you during parent conferences.

Girl Scout Cookies for Sale

The Bright School Girl Scout Troop is selling cookies this year. If you are interested in placing an order, please contact a Girl Scout directly. Also, the Girl Scouts will have a table set up at the Bright Family Breakfast tomorrow to take orders. If you prefer, you may contact troop leader Samantha Lunn at [email protected] to place an order that would spread sales credit across the entire troop. The deadline to place orders is Thursday, January 25.

Help with Admissions

How can Bright parents help with admissions? Future families love to ask parents questions and hear informally from you about your family's experience at Bright. Would you like to volunteer to help follow up with families who visit Bright? We are seeking parents of any grade child who are interested in helping and sharing your Bright experience with others. Please email [email protected] to participate. An informational meeting will be held later in January.
