Brahma Briefing
Week Ten - October 12 - 16, 2020
Welcome to Week Ten!
Hello Brahma Parents & Guardians,
It's official, we are more than halfway through the 1st semester of fall 2020. The pace of the semester seems to move faster and faster, and I encourage all students to stay focused, keep up the hard work, and communicate well with your family. Before we know it, we will be in the holiday season and it's easy to be caught off guard with all the excitement. Check out the links below for tips from our Grade Level Coordinators about staying connected with family and supporting each other during this unique time.
Reminder, this week is yearbook photo time for freshman, sophomores, and juniors. Yearbook photos are by appointment only. If you have not already reserved your appointment, click HERE to schedule a time to have your picture taken. Hurry, spots are filling up fast!
Lastly, this Thursday, October 15, at 6:30 PM we will be offering a Parent Vape Awareness Information Night. Click HERE for more information.
Best Regards,
Reuben Jones
