Brimfield Elementary Newsletter

We will foster a fun and caring environment that promotes kindness, respect, and compassion for one another, while striving to achieve academic growth.

To empower one another to make a positive impact in the world.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Dear Students and Families,

Life can get busy, and sometimes we forget to take a step back and do the things that make us truly happy. Whether it's reading a favorite book, exploring the outdoors, creating art, or simply spending quality time with loved ones, finding moments of joy is essential for our well-being.

This month, I encourage you to take a moment as a family to reflect on what brings each of you joy—and to make time for it. Joy helps us recharge, connect, and build resilience. It's not just for special occasions; it's something we can weave into every day.

Let’s all prioritize those little things that bring big smiles! Share your joy-filled moments with us, and let’s spread happiness together in our school community.

Warm wishes, Brandon Berry (School Counselor)

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a proactive approach designed to foster a positive school climate by encouraging appropriate behavior. It focuses on teaching and reinforcing clear behavioral expectations in a consistent and structured way. PBIS emphasizes prevention rather than punishment, using data to identify and support students who may need additional help. By recognizing and rewarding positive behavior, PBIS aims to improve student engagement, reduce disciplinary issues, and create a more inclusive, respectful learning environment where all students can thrive academically and socially.

At Brimfield Elementary, students help to identify positive expectations and receive incentives for appropriate behavior. Your child may be chosen to participate in the Principal’s Club, receive a red SOAR ticket, or earn a Principal’s Good News call. The staff at Brimfield works hard to use positive words with students. Instead of telling a child to “stop running” in the hallway, the direction might be to “move throughout the halls in a controlled and safe manner”. Thank you, in advance, for partnering with us and using positive statements with your child. We are very proud of our PBIS program and look forward to celebrating the great behavior of our young Falcons!

Principals Good News Call!

Neighborhood Bridges Field Local is partnering with Shoe Sensation in Brimfield to benefit The Falcon Family Closet.

Stop in Shoe Sensation and make your donation before April 13th.

The Falcon Family Closet is available to students in the Field Local Community. Started this year we are working hard to make a difference in the lives of our Field kids.

We are now hiring classified substitute workers for various roles, including Playground Monitors, Educational Aides, Cafeteria Workers, Secretarial Staff, Custodial Staff, Bus Aides, and Bus Drivers. A current BCI & FBI background check is required before applying for any substitute position. Some positions may also require an aide permit, which the Administration Office can help you obtain. You have the flexibility to work the hours that suit you, and you'll be on call to cover for regular employees. For more details or assistance with the application process, please contact Bev Bable at the Administration Office-beverly.bable@fieldlocalschools.org.
