Happy New Year! We are very excited to see our students back in school after an extended break. Here are a few important items to discuss:
Snow Days: Should we have another snow day, students will be expected to participate in learning using their Chromebooks and assignments from their teachers. Your child will be bringing their Chromebook home starting this Friday to use this weekend. Please make sure they bring it back to school on Tuesday. Please make sure they keep it safe.
Hot Spots: Information went home yesterday regarding the need for Hot Spots for internet access. If you need a Hot Spot for your student to get online and do their work, please fill out the form and return it.
Report Cards: Report cards will come home on Friday, and a conference form will be in the envelope. If you’d like a conference, please fill out the form and return it to your child’s teacher. Parent-teacher conferences are scheduled for Thursday, January 23, 2025, from 5-7 pm.

Thanks to their hard work and dedication, over 910 non-perishable food items were collected to support families in the BRC community. Their efforts are an inspiring example of kindness and care in action! 💙
