WELCOME TO THE 2023-2024 SCHOOL YEAR!

Please note that this bulletin CAN be translated into multiple languages. On a desktop just look to the right ---> for the button.

We are so happy to see many old faces in our building, as well as, welcoming many new students, staff, & faculty to our Mary Bryan family.

We have some policy changes that are now in effect for our building. Please note the following:

1. You must have a car rider tag displayed in your vehicle to pick up your child in the car rider line at the end of the day. If you do not have a tag you must park & come into the front office. You may request car tags through the front office. You may also call Mrs. Terra Weddell @ 317)789*2609 or email your request to tweddell@perryschools.org.
2. Changes to afternoon transportation for your student MUST be made to the front office no later than 2:00. Busing is very full this year and we have to call the transportation office to get permission for a student to ride the bus with an approved family member/friend.
3. As always, please make sure you have your ID to pick up your children.
4. Make sure you send your children to school with a reusable water bottle. Fill up stations are located throughout the building.

Each week, staff members can award Golden Tickets to students that they feel have done a great job or have gone above and beyond expectations. These tickets go in to a drawing on Friday mornings where 2 students from each grade level are picked to be able to choose a book from our school's book vending machine. Here are this and last week's winners!

Please make sure you have your ID so the office is able to create you a badge to wear while in our building. No outside food (fast food) is allowed. Cash/check only. The lunch times are listed below.

Cyber safety

There has been an increase in conversations about shows our students are watching. We want to take this opportunity to remind parents about Cyber safety! We encourage parents to be aware of what their kids are watching, and talk to your children about what they are seeing. You can also have discussions with friends, family, neighbors, and church/community leaders about what their kids are watching, what apps they are using, and what to watch for. Here are some additional resources to help assist with this!

Healthy Children Media Rating Guide

Media ratings and safety

For movies and TV shows, here are some of the ratings and what they mean.

G (general audience) is intended for all ages.

PG (parental guidance) is media that requires parent guidance due to some factors not being suitable for children.

PG-13 Is media that parents strongly cautioned, and is intended for ages 13 years or older.

R is restricted to anyone under 17 and requires an accompanying adult due to the adult materials in the film (harsh language, violence, nudity, etc)

For video games, the ratings slightly differ. Here are the ratings:

E (Everyone) the game is intended for all ages.

T (Teen) the game is intended for those 13 and up.

M (Mature) the game is for audiences 17 and older due to adult content.

Ask for help with parental controls if you are interested in limiting access to content for your student.

Our students complete one unit (5 lessons) each 9 weeks. Each unit has a different focus. This quarter, all of our students will be learning about Emotion Management. The Parent information for each grade level is attached below. This will give you an overview of what your student is learning and ideas for how to build on these skills at home.
