Bryan Middle Instructions

Dear Bryan Middle School Families,

Welcome to the new school year at Bryan Middle School! We are excited to have your student join us and look forward to a fantastic year of learning and growth. As the new principal, I am eager to serve the students, families, and community of Bryan Middle. It is an honor and privilege to work with you and your student. To ensure a smooth start, we are asking you to complete some important paperwork before our Back-to-School Night.

Steps to Complete Before (and after) Back-to-School Night:

1. Access Parent Portal.
2. Update Student Information via Parent Portal.
3. Complete the Educational Benefits form via School Cafe.
4. Complete the Science Safety Contract.
5. Register for a School Cash Online Account.
6. Sign up for the Boys and Girls Club.
7. Nurse's Information/Physicals
8. Follow us on Social Media
9. Attend Back to School Night (August 17 from 4:00 to 6:45 PM)
10. Attend Culvers Food Night (August 25 from 5:00 to 8:00 PM)

These tasks can be completed online using your student’s OPS iPad or a personal device. If you need any assistance or access to a device, our main office is available to support you. By taking care of these steps in advance, you can focus on meeting the teachers and exploring the school during Back-to-School Night.

We appreciate your partnership and look forward to a successful school year together. Please continue to check your email for regular communication from the school!

Warm regards,

Anton Schmidt
Principal, Bryan Middle School

Ensure that you can login to the Parent PORTAL

All parents/guardians are need to have access to the parent side of Infinite Campus. Parents / Guardians should login to the Parent Portal in Infinite Campus to complete paperwork for the school year. Here is a direct link: https://campus.ops.org/campus/portal/ops.jsp

If you cannot log in to portal, please call the school at 531-299-2300 or email lakresha.clark@ops.org.

**You can find directions below.

Complete the Annual Update of Student Information in the PORTAL

At the start of each school year, it is required that parents & guardians confirm and update contact and health records for the safety of our students. Once logged into the Parent Portal, guardians will be directed to update information for ALL students enrolled in Omaha Public Schools. Here is a direct link: https://campus.ops.org/campus/portal/ops.jsp

Once Logged in, click more, and then online registration.

*If you have moved to a new address, please make sure you bring documentation to the school as soon as possible to ensure school information is received at the correct home.

Our district will now use School Cash Online for all school items and activity fees. SchoolCash Online reduces cash and check payments to our schools and lets families:

• Keep track of their students’ school items and activity fees
• Check their account history
• View and print receipts
• Pay for school fees with a simple click

Primary guardians will receive an invitation email from SchoolCash Online in the coming days with a link to register for an account and attach student(s) to their profile. Families can also register an account using the link above and the same email address used for Campus Parent.

Once the primary guardian has created an account, they can provide access to other caregivers of their choice.

See the Parent Help Desk for SchoolCash Online FAQ for additional details and troubleshooting information, or reach out to your student’s school with any questions.

Bryan Middle School is thrilled to have an incredible community partner for our after-school program, The Boys and Girls Club. The Boys and Girls Club does require registration and confirmation to attend. You can easily register your students by going to https://www.bgcomaha.org/locations/bryan-middle-club.html. Here is the registration link: https://online.traxsolutions.com/midlands/bryan#/dashboard. It is free for Bryan Middle school students to become members.

7th Grade Physicals: Remember that Nebraska state law requires all incoming 7th graders to have a physical exam and be up to date on all immunizations before school begins.

Sports Physicals: All 7th and 8th Graders that plan to participate in athletics will need a sports physical. We encourage all students to get one before the start of the year, as it will last the entire year.

Recommendations: We recommend scheduling an appointment with your child's healthcare provider as soon as possible, as these spots tend to fill up quickly. Alternatively, you can visit a school-based health center for these services.

Please bring copies of your child’s health records to the school prior to the start of the year, or have the healthcare provider fax them to the school, Attention: School Nurse.

We encourage all parents to take advantage of following Bryan Middle School on Twitter (@OPS_BryanMiddle), on Facebook (@OPSBryanMiddleSchool), on Instagram (@ops_bryanmiddle) or looking at our website (https://www.ops.org/Bryanmiddle). In addition, Bryan Middle sends out a weekly Newsletter through email. Make sure that your email address is up-to-date.

BRING

(1) Student iPad to access their schedule

(2) any prescriptions or medical devices if needed

(3) cash if needing to purchase any item in person rather than online.

Bryan Middle will have food nights at participating restaurants throughout the school year. A portion of the sales from that night come back to Bryan Middle. Please consider supporting us by participating in food nights. The first one will be at Culvers (3602 Raynor Parkway) from 5:00 to 8:00 PM on Tuesday, August 25. Grab some delicious food for a good cause!
