Bengals,

Thanks for another great week in Bengal Country. This is our last update for our September Family Newsletter. Be on the lookout out for our October newsletter next week.

We are honoring Instructional Assistants and Custodians in the next few days. We certainly could not do all the amazing things on campus without their hard work.

Monday, October 7th is celebrated as World Day of Bullying Prevention. On this day, we are asked to wear blue and are hoping for some great participation from students and staff alike!

Please feel free to wear ANY blue shirt you have. However, the counseling department will be ordering the following shirt from Amazon. Here is the link in case you would like one too:

The girls' cross country defending champions dominated Saturday's meet, with both divisions claiming first place and bringing home an impressive seven medals! Their next showdown is this Saturday at Gus Stadium. Don’t miss the action—boys race at 8:30 AM, followed by the girls at 9:00 AM. Let’s cheer them on as they go for another victory!

Promise Keepers will meet next Wednesday Sept 25 at 8:00 am in front of the school flag pole. Wednesday is national See You at the Pole, this is when students meet at the school flag pole before school to lift up their friends, families, teachers, school, and nation in a prayer. All grade levels are invited. If You have any questions please contact Coach Hines at Jeffrey.Hines@nisd.net

Football and Volleyball begins this week. All students who are not accompanied by an adult are expected to leave on or before 7:00 pm, regardless of the event, time of play etc. This ensures that everyone gets home safely.

If your child plans on staying for an after school event, please review the following:

-If a student is planning on attending a volleyball or football game, they will need to report to the cafeteria after school to wait for the game to begin.

-Students must be present the day of the game in order to attend the event.

-Students who have disciplinary action in the office the week of the event are not permitted to attend.

-Students will need to purchase an online ticket to attend.

-Late pick-ups will result in not being able to attend future after school events.

-Students will need to sit in the student section.

-Students are asked to remain in the student section. Students will not be permitted to re-enter a game that they left.

-Unsportsmanlike behavior will result in removal from the event and will affect future events.

-Wearing Briscoe shirts is encouraged.

-Cheering for team mates is welcome.
