Health Reminders
While the number of COVID-19 cases continues to decline in our area, please remain vigilant and safe when out in the public and in small gatherings over spring break.

There are many exciting events coming up this spring, and we want to make sure all students, faculty and staff will get to participate.

Our face coverings requirement remains in effect as well as all other protocols we have put into place this school year. During spring break, please contact Nurse Rachel at [email protected] if your child or someone in your household tests positive or has been exposed to a positive case.

Thank you!
Track Meets Begin Today: Changes to Bright Afternoons Pick-ups
Track meets will be taking place select Monday afternoons during the months of March and April. The dates are March 22, April 12, April 19 and April 26. Due to these meets, this will impact our normal Bright Afternoons pick-up routine.

On the days of track meets, Bright Afternoons and help class pick-ups will be at the concourse. When you pull down the driveway, please drive in front of the concourse area with your green name sign visible on your dashboard. Also, please be ready to inform our Bright School parking officer of your need to pick up from Bright Afternoons. Our Bright Afternoons staff will call for your child and sign them out.

There will be no parking available on campus during track meets, so plan to stay in the car as you drive up. 
Be a PA Volunteer
Here is your chance to participate in the Parents' Association for the 2021-22 school year. There are many ways for you to contribute your energy, talents and interests.

Lost and Found
There's a large amount of clothes and other items in our lost and found bin. Items will be placed on tables on the concourse later this week, and parents may stop by and search through them for anything lost.
