Principal's Message
Happy September DT Families!
The student's pictured above are our August Character Trait Winners! These students truly lived out the trait of RESPECT as we kicked off our year. They were nominated by their classroom teachers and special areas teachers. At lunch last Friday, we had lunch at a "special table" just for them. All of the students in the cafeteria enjoyed a Power Point with their pictures and an explanation of why they were nominated.
We have a many great things going on here this month. Our Dog Jog Kick Off will be Friday September 11th at 2:50 in our gym. Dog Jog will be the morning of September 18th. On the afternoon of the 18th, we hope that you will join our staff at the parade at 5 p.m. before the big homecoming game!
Enjoy the long weekend,
Mrs. Greene

Hearing Screening

| Indiana State law requires students in grades 1, 4, 7, and 10 to have their hearing screened. All kindergarten students and all students new to BCSC will be tested as well. The Brownsburg Speech and Language Pathologists will be conducting hearing screenings at each school. Students who do not pass their hearing screenings will receive paperwork notifying you of the results. (If your child does not pass their hearing screening, you will be notified of pass/did not pass results when a re-screening is done as well.) Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding your child's hearing. Miss Grissom, M.A., CF-SLP [email protected] 317-852-1062 ext. 1357 |

Character Education
|
|
The Brownsburg Community School Corporation character trait for the month is
RESPONSIBILITY
Responsibility means that you are accountable for what you say and do: All of your choices are your own. Why is responsibility important? Think of what would happen if a firefighter didn't do his job? People might get hurt and property would get damaged. Responsibility is important because it helps us to stay safe in our communities, treat others with kindness, and be better learners at school.
Help encourage our students to be Responsible by talking about the character trait each week in September and October.
