Dear Bryan Middle School Families,

As we move further into the spring semester, it is more important than ever for students to stay committed to their learning by attending school every day, arriving on time, and being prepared to engage with their teachers and classmates. At Bryan Middle School, we are dedicated to supporting your child’s success, but we need your help to make sure they are positioned for success each day.

Attendance Matters
Daily attendance is critical to your child’s learning experience. When students are present and ready to learn, they are more likely to grasp important concepts, stay on track with their assignments, and feel connected to their peers and teachers. Missing even a single day can make it challenging for students to catch up and remain engaged.

Being Ready to Learn
It is essential for students to arrive at school with their materials, assignments completed, and a positive mindset. Students who come prepared and ready to participate are building habits that will benefit them both academically and socially.

School Starts Promptly at 7:40 AM
To help your child be successful, we encourage all students to be dropped off by 7:30 AM. This provides them with the time they need to gather their materials, socialize with friends, and mentally prepare for the day ahead. The first class begins promptly at 7:40 AM, and arriving on time ensures they don’t miss valuable instructional time.

Your partnership is vital to your child’s growth and achievement. We appreciate your continued support in encouraging your student to attend school every day, arrive on time, and be prepared to learn.

As always, if you have any questions or need additional support, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

Sincerely,
Mr. Karmazin
Principal, Bryan Middle School
