What an amazing summer this has been! Many of you have already shared tales of your summer adventures with me, and your postcards have been a delight to read. I look forward to hearing about all of your travels, camps, and good times with your families. 

The big news, of course, has been the remarkable transformation of our first, second and third grade hallways and classrooms. This first phase of our Building a Bright Future capital campaign will give us just a taste of the wonderful changes yet to come in the next two years. Before we know it, our fourth and fifth grade areas as well as the gym, library, special area classrooms, offices and Kilbride Enrichment Center will all have undergone a similar transformation, providing the best learning spaces for our students and teachers. We are now more than halfway to our $4 million goal! With your continuing financial support, and with the hard work, careful planning, and Bright School can-do attitude, we will make this fabulous dream come true. As the school's head, I have been deeply touched by everyone's unwavering generosity and commitment to give our children the best we have to offer. They deserve no less.

I'm so looking forward to seeing everyone and warmly welcoming our new families. I want to wish you all the best in Bright School's 107th year!

Sincerely,

Registration Day is Wednesday.

This is a free dress day. Students do not wear uniforms. Families will find out their child's teacher via email the morning of Registration Day.

Grades K-5 attend the morning session, 9-11:30 a.m. There will be no parking on campus, and there will be shuttles from Stuart Heights Baptist Church. Families will receive the name of their child's teacher by email that morning. Tables for Bonanza, yearbooks and school activities will be set up in the parking lot.

Immunization Forms

All students must have an updated immunization form on file by Registration Day. Students in grades JPK, PK and kindergarten and any new students should receive a new form from their pediatrician when immunizations are updated each year. New forms are not required after students have completed immunizations. Immunization records need to be on a Tennessee form.

The forms below may be downloaded, filled out online and emailed to  [email protected]  or printed, filled out and returned on Registration Day to the office or your child's classroom. 

Medical Forms

The medical forms only need to be filled out and returned if they pertain to your child.

Supply Fees

Families do not need to purchase school supplies. Those are provided by the school. Families who do not have a FACTS account need to pay the supply fee by Registration Day. For more information, visit our Registration Day website.
