Hello Roadrunner Families,
It was such an exciting day today for our Roadrunner Run! I am always in awe of the generosity of all of you and am excited that we have such a great playground project we are working toward. We had fabulous weather and the students had so much fun. We are looking forward to Homecoming week and all of the fun spirit days we have planned. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and spend some great time together.
Love, Mrs. Boyd

THANK YOU to our students, families, staff, sponsors and volunteers for making our 12th Annual Roadrunner Run a huge success. Together we raised $25, 805! This will go towards the installation of a new playground area for our school! Please take a look at the back of your students’ Spencer shirts and support the local businesses who have supported our Roadrunners whenever you can!

Fueling Kids’ Futures
Dear Spencer Families:
If your child qualified for the Free and Reduced Meal Program last year or this year, s/he can also participate in the Fueling Kids' Futures program (formerly Blessings in a Backpack). This program sends six non-perishable meals home each Friday of the school year in your child's backpack. Its goal is to make sure that no child goes hungry on the weekend. This program is run by volunteers, there is no cost to you.
To enroll in this program, please download and print the form below. Contact the office if you are unable to print the form and one will be sent home with your student. The first backpack of food will be sent home today.
As a district, it is our mission to provide a rigorous, meaningful, and well-rounded education that will inspire each student to achieve their personal best. BAS believes that each student and staff member can reach their full potential when challenged to do their best, with an open mind, and with an unwavering commitment to personal growth.
We continue to increase our efforts to support each person's mental health and wellness with resources, time, and experiences. This information and much more can be found on the BAS Wellness & Mental Health website or download the app by typing in Brighton Area Schools on iTunes or Google Play.
Parents - Please make sure you pack a change of clothes (that are weather appropriate) in your child's backpack EVERY DAY. This is for ALL students, grades JK-4th, you never know when your student may have a nosebleed, or loose a tooth, or spill food/milk on their shirt, or find a mud puddle outside, or have a bathroom accident. If your student keeps a change of clothing in their backpack, then we can take care of it here, otherwise we need you to bring up a change of clothes. Thank you for your cooperation.
If you are planning to volunteer in classrooms or on field trips this year, you must fill out a background check. This needs to be done each year and if you have students in other buildings around the district, you only have to fill out the form one time and indicate which buildings you would like to volunteer in. Here are the steps to get to the form...
