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.

I hope this message finds you well! We have had another amazing week here at Brimfield Elementary, filled with learning, growth, and laughter. It’s heartwarming to see our students so engaged and thriving in their classrooms.

I want to remind everyone that there will be no school on Friday, October 11th. This day provides a wonderful opportunity for our families to spend time together, recharge, and enjoy the beautiful fall season.

We are also thrilled to share that we have implemented a new model for our Phonics instruction called “Walk to Read.” This innovative approach allows students in grades K-2 to be grouped differently, ensuring that each child receives targeted instruction tailored to their specific needs. We believe this method will enhance their phonics skills and foster a love for reading.

Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our school community. Wishing you all a fantastic weekend ahead!

Brimfield is hosting our annual Principal's Fall Fundraiser, and we need your help! Fundraising packets will be sent home today, Sept. 26th—be sure to check your student's backpack!

Here’s how you can help:

1. Register today at www.MyFundraisingShop.com with our School ID: 20881
2. Watch the quick kickoff video
3. Share your fundraising store with friends and family across the country!

Don't miss out on the awesome prizes! See the attached letter for more details.

Thank you for your support!

Parents please make sure that your child has an extra pair of clothes here at school in their locker. Throughout the year accidents/spills/mud happens. It's always good to have a change of clothes ready so we don't have to call you during the work day to bring some up to the school.

Thank you!

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!
