BRES OPEN HOUSE
Wednesday, Aug. 28 3-4:30 p.m.
(**PK teachers will be sending out information for the PK bus ride and open house)
Join us before the Set for Success event begins to meet your child’s teachers. Homeroom teachers, allied arts, guidance, interventionists, and administration will be available to meet. If you require time to discuss individual matters about your child, please schedule an appointment with the teacher as this is not a time to conference.
Students in PreK-6th grade will be getting more information from their classroom teachers in the coming weeks. Homeroom rosters for middle school students (grades 7 & 8) will be posted in the middle school wing at open house. Middle school teachers will be sending parent letters home after the start of the school year.
