YOU MUST PICK UP YOUR CHILD’S MEDICATION! Medication must be picked up by a parent/guardian by the end of the school day on or before June 11th. All remaining medication will be properly disposed of.

Reminder for next school year:

If your child will require medication during the 2026/2027 school year, a new Medication Authorization form or a new Action plan needs to be completed. You can find the link to these below.

*If your child has a chronic medical condition that may result in an emergency situation (Seizures, Anaphylactic Allergies, Type 1 Diabetes, Asthma, etc.), please inform your child’s school and ensure you have an up to date medical plan on file prior to the start of the 2026/2027 school year. A new plan is required on a yearly basis or if any changes are made to the plan throughout the year.

Have a great summer and we look forward to seeing you next year!

Thank you, Jessica Kightlinger, LPN

Parent Connect has a quick and easy way to report your child's absence.

• Log into Parent Connect

• If you have more than one child, select the student who will be absent.
• Click Report Absence on the top right corner.
• Enter the date(s) of the absence.
• If your child will be gone all day, check the All Day box so it applies to both morning and afternoon. Or, if your child will only miss part of the day, enter the specific times.
• Finally select a Reason and make sure to include in the Notes why your child will be absent (illness, doctor visit, vacation etc.) If your child has been diagnosed with something specific (like COVID, strep throat, pink eye, flu, chickenpox, etc.), please mention that in Notes.

Another option for reporting an absence is to call the Hornung attendance line at 810-299-4454. When you leave a message, please include:

• Your child's name
• Their teacher's name
• The date(s) they'll be absent
• The reason (illness, doctor visit, vacation, etc.)

If they haven't been diagnosed but do have symptoms, let us know what those symptoms are.

Please Email kurtinaitisc@brightonk12.com with any attendance questions.

Brighton Area Schools supports students experiencing temporary housing through the

McKinney-Vento Act. Assistance is available for school needs, housing referrals, clothing, and

more. If you know a student in need, please contact your building principal or district liaison

Starr Acromite at 810-299-4040.

Parents please pack an extra set of weather appropriate clothes in your child's backpack each day. Bathroom accidents, spills, mud puddles or unexpected messes can happen, and having a spare outfit will help keep your child comfortable throughout the day. This way, we can take care of any changes at school, and you won't have to make a trip to bring them. Thank you for your support!
