Principal's Message
Dear Families,
I can't believe today marks the last day of school! As the Principal at Brimfield Elementary for the past six years, following two years as assistant principal, I can tell you this has been an incredible journey. Getting to know the students and their families has been a true privilege. I will cherish all the memories and will miss everyone!
Wishing you all a fantastic summer!
Warm regards,
Barb Flowers

PBIS CORNER
What is PBIS?
Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports is an important part of the school environment to encourage positive behavior. There are clear expectations throughout the school that are taught consistently throughout the year. The four expectations promoted at Field Local Schools are:
Safe
Outstanding
Accountable
Respectful
When students do not respond to teaching of the building or classroom expectations, we will view it as an opportunity for re-teaching, not just negative consequences. Students still receive consequences for negative behavior. The goal of the consequence is to teach students so they will not repeat the negative behavior.
